(Book). Rory Gallagher, Steve Marriott, Rick Derringer and Robin
Trower are guitar legends. The glue behind legendary barn-busting,
hard-touring outfits like Taste, The Small Faces, Procol Harum and
Humble Pie, and later realizing their full potentials as solo
artists, this is the first biography group or otherwise of four
players whose dedication to music and screaming virtuosity has been
inspirational to a generation of fans and admirers. Gallagher,
Marriott, Derringer & Trower is a candid look at the lives of
four men who combined have sold more than 60,000,000 albums. Each
has a unique musical story to tell, from roots in American rhythm
and blues and rock 'n' roll to the joys and perils of life on the
road, as well as the pitfalls of fame and the music business. What
makes their stories unique is their intense dedication to their art
and the fact that the careers of these trailblazing guitarists have
never been thoroughly covered in print. This is not a linear,
album-by-album study. Rather, it is an in-depth conversation with
the artists themselves and those closest to them, including band
members, management, record executives, road managers, crew,
producers, studio engineers, family and friends: fully authorized,
revealing and straight from the source. Features fantastic
photographs throughout, many never before seen. Dan Muise has spent
his entire 25-year career in the music business covering radio,
band management, production and record company promotion. He lives
in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
