About this product
Product Information
Sound Manprovides a firsthand glimpse into the art of making music and reveals how the industry-like musicians themselves-has changed since those freewheeling first years of rock and roll. Born just outside London in 1942, Glyn Johns was sixteen years old at the dawn of rock and roll and has since engineered or produced iconic albums for the best in the business- Abbey Road with the Beatles, Led Zeppelin's and the Eagles' debuts, Who's Next by the Who, and many others. In this entertaining and observant memoir, Johns takes us on a tour of his world during the heady years of the sixties, with beguiling stories that will delight music fans the world over- He remembers helping to get the Steve Miller Band released from jail shortly after their arrival in London, he recalls his impressions of John and Yoko during the Let It Be sessions, and he recounts running into Bob Dylan at JFK and being asked to work on a collaborative album with him, the Stones, and the Beatles, which never came to pass. Johns was there during some of the most iconic moments in rock history, including the Stones' first European tour, Jimi Hendrix's appearance at Albert Hall in London, and the Beatles' final performance on the roof of their Savile Row recording studio. Over the past two decades he has worked with Crosby, Stills & Nash; Emmylou Harris; Linda Ronstadt; Band of Horses; and, most recently, Ryan Adams. Sound Man provides a firsthand glimpse into the art of making music and reveals how the industry-like musicians themselves-has changed since those freewheeling first years of rock and roll. 'If you remember the sixties then you probably weren't there, unless of course your name is Glyn Johns. Sound Man is an intimate, humorous journey through the corridors of the music industry. Eric Clapton 'Returning to the control room after a studio take I often felt like running- the joy of hearing what Johns had created out of the glue-and-string that was The Who was like a drug. He is an artist himself of supreme talent and experience.' Pete Townshend 'Few figures in rock history have more impressive resume than Glyn Johns . . . . Sound Man is full of amazing anecdotes from his fifty-year career.' Rolling StoneProduct Identifiers

I found it a really interesting read, and it reminded me of Geoff Emerick's book. I enjoy these kind of books because they are almost a reference book. If you like music I'm pretty sure you will enjoy this book, a lot!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
