"A disarming, surprising literary memoir by the ex-Police guitarist
. . . A rollicking you-are-there history of the 60s-80s rock
era."---"Entertainment Weekly"
In this extraordinary memoir, world-renowned guitarist Andy Summers
provides the revealing and passionate account of a life dedicated
to music. From his first guitar at age thirteen and his early days
on the English music scene to the ascendancy of his band, the
Police, Summers recounts his relationships and encounters with the
Big Roll Band, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, the Animals, John
Belushi, and others, all the while proving himself a master of
telling detail and dramatic anecdote.
Andy's account of his role as guitarist for the Police---a gig
that was only confirmed by a chance encounter with drummer Stewart
Copeland on a London train---has been long-awaited by music fans
worldwide. The heights of fame that the Police achieved have rarely
been duplicated, and the band's triumphs were rivaled only by the
personal chaos that such success brought about, an insight never
lost on Summers in the telling. Complete with
never-before-published photos from Summers's personal collection,
"One Train Later" is a constantly surprising and poignant memoir,
and the work of a world-class musician and a first-class
writer.
"A lucid account. Tells the dreamlike story of the Police's rise
and fall, which Summers recounts with wit and sharp
detail."--"Rolling Stone"
"Witty and impressionistic . . . Police guitarist Andy Summers
writes engagingly."--"The ""New York"" Post"
"There are many great rock moments that dazzle. This is a
stage-side account of the birth, rise, and dissipation of the
Police."--"Publishers Weekly" AndySummers is a Grammy Award winner
and an inductee in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the
Guitar Player Hall of Fame. He has followed his work with the
Police with a career that encompasses more than twelve solo albums,
soundtracks, and collaborations in addition to concerts and
exhibitions of his photography around the world. He lives in
California, and his Web site is www.andysummers.com.
