Mehso-so

Who knew it was possible to write such a boring book about one of the most fascinating rock bands of all time creating one of the most successful albums of all time?

If you‘re interested in the technical minutiae of sound engineering/music production, then you might enjoy this. But the unnecessary tangents about Caillat‘s dating life, humblebragging about his daughter, and frankly unbelievable recall of conversations contribute to its failure.

Pikathulhu That's disappointing; if well-written, this book would have been right up my alley! 13mo
Kimberlone @Pikathulhu I recommend Gold Dust Woman as a counterpoint…biography of Stevie Nicks that definitely gets into the making of Rumours. It was much better and I also listened to the audiobook. 13mo

Saknicole You are so into the music memoir/ docs. Maybe we should get one for momma. She‘d probably like them too. I just get so bored. Dillon and I die during like the third random documentary of Joe Cocker during holidays 😂😂😂 13mo
kwmg40 Too bad about the book. I've always loved the Rumours album! 13mo
