   Books Read in 2016 (2,770) Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) roguelike | Feb 4, 2024 |  When someone with almost six decades of experience in the music recording field writes a book about his time engineering most of the biggest and most influential bands on the planet, this is an opportunity to really dig down into those experiences. I mean, this is the guy that sat at the board while the Beatles were breaking up, while the Who recorded Won't Get Fooled Again, while Led Zeppelin and the Eagles recorded their first albums, and the Stones were putting out albums like Sticky Fingers... It takes an almost conscious effort to actually make these events uninteresting and unentertaining, yet Johns manages it. How? By giving an almost bullet-list overview of who he worked with and when, and a small, anecdotal toss-off of one event from the recording. Mostly about how he had a mistaken impression about one of the artists, who turned out to be better in some way than he originally expected. This could have easily been three spellbinding books. Instead, it's a wasted opportunity from Johns, and mostly a wasted experience for the reader. (  ) TobinElliott | Sep 3, 2021 |  ) beaujoe | Apr 4, 2021 | It's that lack of ego that makes this book a pleasure to read. It's probably also how he was able to work with and get the best sound out of some of the luminaries of rock from the 1960's onward. He produced and engineered albums and performances by The Rolling Stones, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Eagles, Faces, Howlin' Wolf, John Hiatt, and a ton of others. It's a fascinating career and the book tells a bit of it without betraying confidences. I assume you don't get to work with the best by being a blabbermouth. Johns' brother and son followed him into music performance and production and have been successful as well. An enjoyable and well-written book.

Born just outside London in 1942, Glyn Johns was 16 years old at the dawn of rock and roll. His big break as a producer came on the Steve Miller Band's debut album, Children of the Future, and he went on to engineer or produce 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. Even more impressive, Johns was perhaps the only person on a given day in the studio who was entirely sober, so he is one of the most reliable insiders to tell these stories today. 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. Johns's career has been long and prolific, and he's still at it--over the last 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.--From publisher description.
