(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

I am a woman and I don't think this book is misogynistic at all. The stories are interesting and informative. Besides, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognizes the musicians as the Wrecking Crew. Book/Music lovers: you are in for a treat with Hartman's new book!

I am a music industry veteran and also a popular music historian. I believe that the L.A. studio musicians of the 1960's were never called "The Wrecking Crew". This moniker was likely created by Hal Blaine in the 1980's to promote his terrible autobiography. I had never seen or heard the term "Wrecking Crew" applied to the fine L.A. studio musicians prior to Blaine's book. By using this title, Kent Hartman is perpetuating a lie. Carol Kaye would never have approved the use of this title or the use of her photo on the jacket of this book. Powell's should be ashamed of themselves for doing an in-store with this author.

, February 17, 2012
This book is full of baloney! It was done under FALSE PRETENSES, and we were never "the Hal Blaine band", never called by his phony self-promotional name. This author GOT MY INTERVIEW WITH LIES as to what it was about....he's a PHONY USING PEOPLE FOR HIS OWN $$$ benefit with a book FULL OF LIES, DO NOT BUY THIS AWFUL LYING SLANDEROUS MISOGYNIST BOOK!
