THE WRECKING CREW - Tommy Tedesco - Carol Kane - Hal Blaine - Glen Campbell - Ep. 112

KEN COOKE (all the way from Australia!)  joins Rob on the podcast today to talk about the great WRECKING CREW The Wrecking Crew was a group of session musicians who performed on some of the biggest music hits in America .. mainly in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2008 a great documentary came out revealing members of the wrecking crew and their contributions to music Rob and Ken go through some of the members and tell you what songs they were on along with the history of the wrecking crew into the 70s and how things all of a sudden changed for session musicians.  Also some of the bands and artists who used the Wrecking Crew on many of their songs. We find out how they got their name and which member absolutely hates that name (a person Ken and Rob has slight run in with) Rob and Ken also go over the documentary and what it covers and some of the bonus material that is on the 2-disc DVD edition. Prominent members that are covered on this podcast are: CAROL KANE (only female member of the Wrecking Crew), EARL PALMER, GLEN CAMPBELL, HAL BLAINE (who was on over 140 top 40 hits)  and ... TOMMY TEDESCO!   Ken actually owns one of tommy's instruments (that was used in some of the music for an Indiana Jones movie). If you go on youtube you can see the video from the podcast of Ken showing Tommy's "Laud". **** KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora, YouTube  and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.
