- 4 / 5

Will Hodgkinson learned to play the guitar at 34, resulting in the critically acclaimed Guitar Man. Now the author returns with a book about his quest to become a songwriter and cut a 45 rpm single at London, England's legendary ToeRag Studios. Through his songcrafting journey, Hodgkinson gets advice from Ray Davies and Keith Richards. The result is an easy-to-read, entertaining narrative that provides hope to the everyman that they, too, can record a song.
