In addition to learning how Tom Dowd influenced so much popular music from the 1950's to present day, we get an outstanding history lesson on how the music was recorded. It includes examples of how many, many hit songs came into being and shows how primitive the music recording industry once was, how it evolved over the years and an insight into production and management. Fascinating interviews are placed throughout the DVD with a who's who of famous artists, engineers and A&R executives that add credibility to the timeless work and labor of love Tom Dowd dedicated his life to. Once you realize the career choices he had prior to committing to recording music industry and what he accomplished from that time forward, you'll know exactly what I mean...
Highly recommended if you can get it at a good price. This is currently out of print, with many sellers wanting $100 or more. I got a great deal at $35 and love this.

You simply won't believe what this man, Tom Dowd, had done and seen in his lifetime. If you don't watch this video you'll be missing some amazing stuff, not just about Dowd, but comments from Clapton, Ray Charles, and on and on.. a word bigger than legend is needed to describe what Dowd did over his lifetime. A riveting video that will have you amazed over and over again. From cutting wax on old recording equipment to tape and on to multi-track, his life tracks the progress in the music industry. You will not regret giving this video a watch!!
