Synopsis"If you know what you want, I'll get it for you. If you don't know what you want, I'll do it for you." Few record producers possess the musical facility to back up such a bold promise, but in over forty-plus years behind the glass, Todd Rundgren has willed himself into becoming a not only a rock guitar virtuoso, an accomplished lead vocalist and vocal arranger and visionary keyboard player, not to mention a serviceable drummer. But arguably, Rundgren's greatest instrument of all is the recording studio itself. After learning his craft with Nazz, Rundgren engineered The Band's Stage Fright album and soon became the producer of a string of noteworthy albums for Sparks, Grand Funk, The New York Dolls, Badfinger, Hall & Oates, Meat Loaf, Patti Smith Group, Cheap Trick, The Psychedelic Furs and XTC. Meanwhile, Rundgren played almost every instrument on his solo albums such as Something/Anything?, A Wizard A True Star and Hermit Of Mink Hollow while collaborating on a series of albums by his band, Utopia. A Wizard A True Star: Todd Rundgren In The Studio by Paul Myers is a fascinating and authoritative trip through the land of flickering red lights inhabited by a studio wizard - and true star - who has rarely enjoyed a proper victory lap along the many trails that he has blazed. Researched and written with the participation and cooperation of Rundgren himself., "If you know what you want, I'll get it for you. If you don't know what you want, I'll do it for you."

Read This Book
The book covers numerous specifics regarding how Todd's recording/engineering took place, and it adds a lot of content to what would otherwise be a typical/general impression of what music & music industry was like, during 1960s / 70s / and onward. Nicely researched ! (Only four stars given because I would've loved the book to be twice as long!)Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
