Description: In this book, more than sixty record producers and engineers talk about their work with popular music's most legendary performers. We meet the people who recorded Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Roiling Stones, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Paul Simon, Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Alanis Morissette; and more -- and find out what those sessions were really like. Here is a very personal history, of popular music told from a vantage point that may be new to us, but not to the many musicians who have labored in the studio: here is how it felt to help them make history. Among the recording professionals interviewed are Sam Phillips, Chet Atkins, Jerry Wexler, Lieber & Stoller, Mickie Most, Sir George Martin, Roy Halee, Bruce Botnick, Lamont Dozier, Eddie Kramer, Tom Dowd, Gus Dudgeon, Alan Parsons, Giorgio Moroder, Dave Edmunds, Hugh Padgham, Quincy Jones, Don Was, Phil Ramone, Glen Ballard, Butch Vig, and many more.
