NH Unscripted with Ray Dudley - Wayback Machine Monday for the NH Arts Community
Highlighting the Wrecking Crew work...
Today on WKXL's NH Unscripted: Most of us who enjoy the music of the 60’s weren’t aware of the impact of a group of studio musicians had on what we were enjoying. Those musicians were known as The Wrecking Crew. The Wrecking Crew were an elite group of Los Angeles studio musicians who quietly played on hundreds of hit records in the 1960s—and shaped the sound of modern pop. Some info: What they did: Played backing tracks for major artists who often only added vocals later, Could learn and record songs incredibly fast, sometimes cutting multiple hits in a single day, were central to producers who demanded precision and speed. They defined the Los Angeles studio sound of the 1960s and influenced how records are made to this day. We hope you enjoy our samples of their work.
