Jimmy Travis Band

IT WAS NOT LONG AFTER I'D COME OFF THE ROAD IN LONDON, I LANDED A JOB AT ROCKET RECORDS WITH ELTON JOHN. I HAD ARRIVED IN TOWN TO RECORD AN ALBUM ON WARNER BROTHERS. I REMEMBER SITTING AROUND WITH MY GUILD F-50 AND WORRYING ABOUT ELTON. HE WAS ABUSING ANYTHING HE COULD GET HIS HANDS ON. HE SUGGESTED I TRY SWITCHING FROM ALL GUITAR SONGS TO SOME WRITTEN ON THE STEINWAY. HE HELPED ME WRITE "GARLAND" ON THE GRAND PIANO. WE SHARED THE SAME MANAGER AS THE "KINKS". A FRIEND RECOMMENDED MOVING TO WEST BERLIN WHERE YOU COULD LIVE 100% ON MUSIC/ NO DAY JOB. MY LATEST ALBUM, "DESERT HIGHWAY 66" IS JUST FULL OF AMERICAN COUNTRY ROCK. WE ALL LIVE PART TIME IN BERLIN THESE DAYS, TOURING WESTER EUROPE.
