Reviews
"Engineer Ken Caillat's richly detailed account of the arduous and complicated creation of the classic Fleetwood Mac album reads like a novel. He winds together the personal and creative narratives that were tangled up in the months-long creation of this epic work, while the two couples in the band came apart and personal relations suffused the process. Calliat himself was conducting an affair with the studio manager. It was all sex, drugs, and rock and roll." --Joel Selvin, American Music Critic "Caillat writes in studio speak, his affable prose including the reader rather than excluding, and that's the real pleasure of Making Rumours : sitting next to him for the recording, drama, and next line of cocaine." --The Austin Chronicle "Caillat and co-writer Steve Stiefel maintain a brisk pace throughout Making Rumors. .. Recalling the highs (in all senses of the word) and many lows of creating a unique piece of pop culture history, Making Rumours is a fascinating--and illuminating--read." --Mix Online "Ken tells us the story of making this album, in his engaging, candid, and casual way... Not surprising were the accounts of the breakups, arguments, cocaine, pot, and Lindsey Buckingham being difficult... I devoured it faster than anything I've read recently." --Tape Op " Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album might just be the best rock and roll biography I have ever read... an insightful and thorough read about a pivotal time in rock and roll." --Vintage Rock

    If you love Fleetwood Mac, you'll love "Making Rumours"

    Ken Caillat's "Making Rumours" was a masterpiece, thanks to his meticulous note-keeping from his days creating Fleetwood Mac's most famous album. Highly recommended reading, as is his follow-up book "Get Tusked".
