Listen Later

Think some of your favorite records from the 1960's and 1970's were really recorded by the bands credited? Think again. Percussion Discussion interviews Denny Tedesco, director of the music documentary "The Wrecking Crew" - the group of studio musicians who really recorded the music on many great records of the sixties and seventies rather than the bands credited. There were many members of the "Wrecking Crew", but some notables are Hal Blaine (drums), Leon Russell (keyboards), Glen Campbell (standup bass), Carole Kaye (electric bass) and Jim Gordon (who co-wrote "Layla).
Part two of "The Wrecking Crew" interviews focuses on Hal Blaine, perhaps the most prolific drummer in rock and roll history. Hal has played on more hit records than any other drummer in the rock era, including 40 #1 singles and 150 that made the Top Ten.
Director Tedesco's father was a guitar player for the group. Get the real story on this fabulous music.
