A unique, entertaining, lively, and informative musical talk show and book reading, from a hall of fame musician with decades of working with some of the biggest stars in recording history. Jimmy Ryan has recorded and/or toured with the likes of Carly Simon, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Paul McCartney, Rod
Stewart, Elton John & Kiki Dee, Judy Collins, James Taylor, Luther Vandross, The Doors, Irene Cara, Loudon Wainwright III, Michael Johnson, Jimmy Webb, Andy Williams, Mickey Thomas and many more.

The show begins with Jimmy sharing highlights from his career, illustrated by video excerpts of some of the many hits he has been a part of making. He then picks up a guitar and acts out a series of recording sessions from a mix of artists like The Loving Spoonful, Peter Gabriel, Simon and Garfunkel, The Eurythmics, The Police, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. He demonstrates how a song comes into the studio in its raw form, almost unrecognizable from the final record, and with fascinating stories from the recording sessions, musically shows how the studio musicians each add parts that become iconic and essential to the
final hit record.
