The Wrecking Crew [DVD] [2008]

Once again another great music documentary that tells you about a whole bunch of great musicians that have played on some of the greatest records of all time, but most of these people you’ve never heard of, unless you’re a serious audiophile!

This is a documentary on one of the most influential studio bands of all time...being on many pop and rock'n'roll sings of the late 50's to the early 70's. A look at the musicians who almost controlled the music world for about two decades or so. I was mesmerized by the songs they played on and the talent they worked with (Sinatra, Beach Boys, movie soundtracks and commercials), they could do it all!

This DVD shows what happened behind the scenes with The Wrecking Crew - a set of musicians that were used to provide the sound for many groups (including The Beach Boys in the late '60s). Glen Campbell was the most famous member of the group who later found fame as a solo artist. However, he didn't forget his roots, many of The Wrecking Crew played on his records.

I really enjoyed this DVD. I leaned a lot about the musicians that made up the Wrecking Crew. I had only known about Glen Campbell, but there were so many more. And who know the Beach Boys used them to record their music? I didn't, but I know now.

If you love 60's & 70's music you need to watch this movie. It is a documentary about the studio musicians behind many of the hit songs you love.

Very enjoyable movie representing a music history that many have no idea exists.

Delivery was fast. Very happy with the DVD; would recommend it!
