The Wrecking Crew Reviews
Never realized how many of my favorite songs were played by this one group of musicians. The sheer talent in this crew was crazy, and they barely got credit for it at the time. Amazing look at a piece of music history most people don’t even know about.
Great flick. Came here to say that it's available on YouTube and Peacock as well!.
I always heard about the wrecking crew musicians. I did not know about this movie. I ate up every second of it. Wow. Thank you Amazon.
The Wrecking Crew is best watched with your boomer parents, as it takes a nostalgic stroll through the birth of rock 'n roll, through the eyes of the musicians - not the singers, the studio session musicians - who brought the iconic albums to life, one track at a time.
The factoid that all of that music was performed and recorded by one group of people is really cool. It was less cool an hour and a half later, when they didn't have anything else to add.
The Wrecking Crew lovingly celebrates the men (and women!) who made the most recognizable music of the mid-20th century and received virtually no recognition themselves. We learn how much these musicians had to sacrifice personally in a cutthroat industry where you were likely to lose your seat if you got up for even a moment. While you might feel a little disappointed some of your favorite musicians didn't play (or even write) all their own music, you have a new-found admiration of the incredibly talented folks behind the scenes who created it.
I think I saw this before? Anyways. watched again. Surprisingly, like last time, found this quite boring. So much so I kept falling asleep. But it was all the same. Backup band talking about this famous song they did unbeknownst to the general public. real band members either shrugging their shoulders or similar, move to the next song. I have no idea why I couldn't get more into it.
Simplesmente maravilhoso acompanhar esse documentário.
Documentary about studio musicians who wer responsible for the rocknroll sound of the 60's
Another fascinating musical documentary about the people who are responsible for most of the hits you've heard over the decades. It's so great that they are getting the credit they deserve through this film.
Brilliant movie of the unsung legends behind some of the greatest music of the 60's and 70's
Great music documentary.
Excellent documentary about the studio musicians responsible for laying down the groove to more hits than any single artist or band in the history of r&b, rock, and soul.
another terrific music doc...one that embraces repeated viewings...great music and interviews and info...i recall almost ten years ago meeting the filmmaker Danny Tedeseco and his passion was exciting...it took till recently to finish his film due to the hard work and all the people involved and mostly to get the rights to all the terrific music ...a great one for watching closely and for background or while cleaning!
A sure delight for musicians, with bajillions of extras. Carol Kaye is great. I am very pleased to discover she's got her own documentary.
There's high chance you've never heard of them before, even though you've very likely heard what they do, but the musicians nicknamed The Wrecking Crew are without question some of the most important members of musical history thanks to their extensive collection of works from the late 50's through to the 70's. Session artists that were like the A-Team of up for hire musicians, The Wrecking Crew were a part of so many pop culture hits and legendary pieces of music that it's highly likely one of your favourite old school songs has a member or two of the crew on it. From The Beach Boys (whose famed album Pet Sounds was almost entirely recorded with Wrecking Crew members), Frank Sinatra, Glen Campbell (who was himself a member of the Crew before branching out into a solo career), Sonny and Cher, The Mamas and the Papas, Simon and Garfunkel and the Monkee's are but a few of the celebrated artists that members of The Wrecking Crew played with and often influenced with their extensive and skilful knowledge of music and a variety of instruments. A labour of love for filmmaker Denny Tedesco whose father Tommy was a key member of the group with his outstanding guitar playing (a frequently used player whose tunes can be heard all over popular 온라인카지노추천 shows even e.g. Bonanza's main theme), The Wrecking Crew was filmed over a number of years and completed with help from a successful Kickstarter campaign (finished in 2008 the film was not released until last year), whose supporters wanted the world to know more about these unsung musical heroes and there's little doubting the care and effort that's been put into this production even though it at times remains a little rough around the edges and certain members don't get ample enough airplay. This is a must watch for anyone who calls themselves music fans and an insightful look into the creation of many of the eras greatest hits plus the rise of popular music of that time. The Wrecking Crew is documentary entertainment at its most fun, un-preachy and easy to digest and should be mandatory viewing for those that grew up surrounded by these musicians works, even if they didn't know it at the time. 3 1/2 Glen Campbell bowl cuts out of 5 www.jordanandeddie.wordpress.com
Pretty good, although a little disjointed in the narrative, seemed to have many random jumps without finishing a story bit. Lots of cool insider music info, and good interviews with some forgotten greats. Watched on Netflix at home (Josh watched a bit) April 14, 2016.
