A fascinating look into the West Coast recording studio scene of the '60s and the inside story of the music you heard on the radio. If you always assumed the musicians you listened to were the same people you saw onstage, you are in for a big surprise! In Los Angeles in the 1960s-70s, if you wanted to record a chart-topping track or album, you called in the crack session musicians collectively known as the Wrecking Crew. Consisting of artists unknown outside the music industry, like drummer Hal Blaine and bass player Carol Kaye, as well as those who would go on to recording fame of their own, such as Glen Campbell and Leon Russell, the Wrecking Crew was the West Coast's cream of the crop of session players, backing top-notch hit makers Phil Spector, Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, and many more.… (meer)

Let's get this out of the way, right off the bat: Kent Hartman is a pedestrian writer at best.

That being said, he does an obviously good job at researching, and recreating certain events—if from more of a high-level view—during that phenomenal period of time when the Wrecking Crew could truly do no wrong, and were blasting out of our speakers on so many of the songs I loved, and still love, back in the Sixties and Seventies.

Along the way, he also does give a glimpse into the timeline of some of those songs (god, what I wouldn't give for a song-by-song breakdown of who played and what happened).

So, lots of stars for the subject matter and giving us some glimpses into key events, but dismally few stars for the banal attempts at suspense (the songs he hints at before revealing are hilariously obvious) and workmanlike prose. ( )

An excellent book about the most-recorded musicians that you never heard of. ( )

A very interesting read that really shows what really went on behind the scenes of a number of (perhaps the majority of) pop songs of the 60's & 70's. And that would be enough, the book then goes in depth into the background and personality of the people who'd made the music that topped the charts. I got confused with all the names at certain points and sometimes it felt a little repetitive but still interesting. ( )
