Living on a Thin Line: The autobiography

The all new, must-read memoir by legendary Kinks guitarist Dave Davies



‘BOOK OF THE DAY’ – Guardian



‘This powerful tell-all from the Kinks guitarist puts the spotlight on his own bad behaviour, dalliances with the occult and his recovery from a stroke.’ – Observer



‘Heartfelt, hilarious, revealing, insightful and astonishingly candid. Boy, you really got me Dave. I can’t wait to read it again.’ – Mark Hamill



Dave Davies is the co-founder and lead guitarist of epoch-defining band the Kinks, a group with fifty million record sales to their name. In his autobiography, Davies revisits the glory days of the band that spawned so much extraordinary music, and which had such a profound influence on bands from The Clash and Van Halen to Oasis and Blur.



Full of tales of the tumultuous times and the ups-and-downs of his relationship with his brother Ray, along with encounters with the likes of John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix, this will be a glorious read for Kinks fans and anyone who wants to read about the heyday of rock ‘n’ roll.
