Description
The Wrecking Crew: The Inside Story of Rock and Roll's Best-Kept Secret by Kent Hartman In the 1960s and early 70s, a group of talented musicians from diverse backgrounds revolutionized the sound of popular music. Known as the Wrecking Crew, they worked behind the scenes, contributing to hit records by artists such as the Byrds, the Beach Boys, and Simon & Garfunkel. Industry insider Kent Hartman reveals the dramatic story of these session masters, including drummer Hal Blaine and bassist Carol Kaye, who forged a reputation as the secret weapons behind the top recording stars. Through invaluable interviews, Hartman follows the careers of these musicians, including Glen Campbell and Leon Russell, and explores the relationships between the Wrecking Crew and legendary producers like Phil Spector and Jimmy Webb. This book is a fascinating look at the West Coast recording studio scene of the 1960s and the inside story of the music that shaped a generation.
