Saw it at the Nashville Film Festival last spring...I'll be glad when it is released on DVD(if it ever happens-I heard the music rights would cost upwards of two million bucks)...I'll gladly buy a copy...one of the best docs ever!

Must be from the book by Hal Blaine. Always meant to read it.

Not from Hal's book. Dennis( Tom's son) wrote and directed this great movie. I saw it in St. Louis, met Dennis afterwords, he had a very informative Q&A. JP

Glad to see the WC is recently/finally getting some sorely deserved recognition. I NEED to see that film!, and I'll be reading Blaine's book, asap.

The same can even more so be said of the Funk Brothers.
Any other good books/video to catch on this subject?

Here is a radio interview from 2 weeks ago on a show called Samm Brown's For the record. KPFK FM
in this podcast, he interviews Blaine, and several others from the wrecking crew, as well as Tedesco's son, I believe.
It's an hour long, but it's very informative, and Hal Blaine is very funny.
