Book Reviews of Behind the Glass - Top Record Producers Tell How They Craft the Hits (Softcover)

Book Review: A brilliant account of the best producers and their tips
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is probably one of the most interesting books I've ever read. Containing interviews with giants in the music industry such as George Martin and Phil Ramone who share their knowledge and experience with the reader. It is easy to read as each interview is a digestible length. I would say it is essential reading for anyone interested in the music industry, but also would encapture the interest of any other reader. Behind the Glass shares the stories behind some of the biggest hit songs and albums in popular music history by artists such as David Bowie, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Alanis Morrisette. I was recommended this book by a music industry executive, and it has been possibly the best advice I could receive as a songwriter trying to get into the music business.
