Guitarist Kevin Armstrong (David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Iggy Pop, Morrissey, Sinead O'Connor) [Episode 160]

Kevin Armstrong's brand new book is called <i>Absolute Beginner: Memoirs of the World's Best Least-Known Guitarist.</i><br /><br />David Bowie said of Armstrong, “Kevin does what I pretend to do. Kevin’s a proper musician.” Iggy Pop said, “Kevin Armstrong has been around, and around.” In the early 80s, Armstrong signed to EMI Records as a solo artist, but fate had other plans for him. He’s gone on to carve out a career as a producer, songwriter, and guitarist, performing live and recording with Thomas Dolby, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Paul McCartney, Roy Orbison, Morrissey, Sinead O’Connor, and many, many more. In <i>Absolute Beginner,</i> Armstrong takes us into the backstage world of the artists he’s worked with for over 40 years, what it’s like to have a prime seat at the high table of rock and roll for over 40 years, and what it takes to survive as a self-taught musician. Kevin has had quite a career and he’s here to tell us all about it!<br /><br />Purchase a copy of <i>Absolute Beginner: Memoirs of the World's Best Least-Known Guitarist</i> through Jawbone Press <a href="http://jawbonepress.com/absolute-beginner/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a>. <br /><br />Visit Kevin Armstrong's official website <a href="https://www.kevin-armstrong.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a><br /><br />Listen to a playlist of the music discussed in this episode <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0rEAYNbXxkyVlIvgQEJxf0?si=d7e35e7de4cb4599" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a><br /><br />Watch "Leucocytes Of Love" from Kevin Armstrong's 2019 album 'Run' HERE<br /><br />Visit the Booked On Rock Website <a href="https://www.bookedonrock.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a> <br /><br />Watch exclusive video segments from the Booked On Rock podcast <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3K349Ovv49__PfVNplEfBh6svo1UsDAs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a> <br /><br />Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:<br /><a href="https://w
