Hal Blaine

he was one of the greats and not very recognized for his contribution except for the those in the know.

The Wrecking Crew--The Inside Story of Rock and Roll's Best Kept Secret 
by Kent Hartman

Great read and Hal Blaine is prominently featured. Indeed, he appears to be the leader of the Crew. This book gave me even greater appreciation for Hal and the entire crew including Glen Campbell, Larry Knechtel, Tommy Tedesco and Carol Kaye. Tommy's son is making a movie about the Crew. RIP Hal.

Denny Tedesco has made the movie, its called The Wrecking Crew, I have it on DVD.  Quite great.  Released in 2015, and well worth the watch.  

The Wrecking Crew documentary has been on Netflix--might still be there.  Also, a good movie about Muscle Shoals studio and one about background singers.  All three are worth checking out.
It's great that Hal Blaine and the rest of the crew are finally getting some respect and attention.  So much taste and imagination coupled with chops and general musical know-how!

Netflix' license expired but you can rent it on Amazon for $3. Watched it last night; a must see!
