Publisher's Summary

James Honeyman Scott’s guitar playing elevated the Pretenders’ sound to new heights. His innovative melodies, intricate riffs, and distinctive style brought their music a unique energy and texture. His contributions to tracks like “Brass in Pocket” and “Kid” became iconic, leaving an indelible mark on the rock landscape. Honeyman Scott’s ability to seamlessly blend genres, incorporating punk, rock, and new wave influences, showcased his versatility and creative genius. His was a talent the Pretenders would never find again, and the band never sounded the same.

Jimmy Scott was one of the last great guitar heroes. Perhaps what the world needs now is more guitar heroes.
