Music producer and sound engineer Glyn Johns chronicles his career from his start as a teenager through his days of recording such musical giants as The Rolling Stones, Steve Miller Band, The Beatles, The Who, Crosby, Stills, & Nash, The Eagles, Joe Cocker, Led Zeppelin, The Band, Eric Clapton, and an extended Who's Who of the rock music industry. This book is a slow starter and I had trouble keeping interested but Johns soon hits his stride when talking about the musicians and the different methods he used to record them. While I can't say this book is as well done as The Wrecking Crew I still enjoyed reading about the work that went into creating so many of the albums I love. Johns presents his life in an unapologetic and honest way, never denying his mistakes or sugar coating problems that occurred with difficult artists.
