You'll never listen to music the same way again! Producer, audio
engineer, and author Bobby Owsinski takes you behind-the-scenes of 20 of
the most beloved classic rock hits of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. Using a
technique refined after years of listening to songs under the microscope
of the studio, each song analysis by Bobby describes exactly how the
song was constructed and why it was a hit, examining in detail the song
form, the arrangement, the sound, and the production. This is a valuable
must-have for everyone who loves music, musicians learning about
arrangements, producers wanting to learn how hits are constructed, audio
engineers analyzing the sounds of the hits, songwriters looking inside a
hit's secrets, and fans who love facts and trivia about their favorite
artists. Every song analysis has numerous listen to moments pointing out
small but significant changes in the arrangement or sound that you might
not have noticed before. Plus you'll get all the song facts never found
all in one place like release date, songwriters, recording studio
information, number of units sold, and chart position.
