Just heard a great interview with Hal Blaine about The Wrecking Crew on Fresh Air. Here's a link:

I don't know that I care that much for the kind of music they played but I bet it will be a great show to see....like going through the Country Music Museum in Nashville.

The story of the Swampers and their music is amazing, with insights into race relations and the birth of southern rock. But the documentary "Muscle Shoals" is a mess. Nothing at all happens for the first 15 minutes except for Bono saying "The Music is in the mud!" Their story deserved much better. Still, if you don't already know the story of the Swampers it's worth it for the history lesson. |

Oops! Almost forgot: a soundtrack is being released and there will be a bonus CD included that will be songs done by the Wrecking Crew members in their own names. Great to hear.

Of all the fine music documentaries that have come out lately, Beware of Mr. Baker is the most entertaining - it opens with a bang. Such a brilliant drummer. And yes, "rascal" is the most euphemistic way to describe him as a person. He's an absolute monster, but he's not detestable. |

Thanks for the pointer. I finally got to watch Muscle Shoals today and it was really good. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The Wrecking Crew is available for preorder on Amazon and other places if anyone is interested. Both of these are great. Two thumbs up. |

Sadly, I don't have the link, but there's a very funny extra segment, showing a grandmotherly Carole Kaye teaching Gene Simmons a bass line.

I caught the Muscle Shoals documentary on Netflix, and really enjoyed it...and I'm looking forward to seeing The Wrecking Crew at the first opportunity..

ITunes has it now as do most of the cable companies on demand services. DVD and BluRay ship next month and can be preordered now.

I just want the DVD I get as part of the akickstarer campaign. I'm miffed that we were the first to shell out the dough and the last to see it.

As usual I got sucked into the musical bowels of YouTube following Mama Kaye --- and impressive player with some serious beat mojo and long resume. I can't wait to see this one.
