🎸 Greatest Session Musicians – The Unsung Heroes of Rock! 🎸
My latest podcast, recorded on Thursday, November 13th, 2025, shined a spotlight on the Greatest Session Musicians, the incredible talents behind some of the biggest hits in rock and pop history.
We focused on The Wrecking Crew, the legendary Los Angeles group of studio musicians who played on hundreds of Top 40 hits throughout the 1960s and 1970s, working with artists like The Beach Boys, The Mamas and The Papas, Elvis Presley, and Simon & Garfunkel. Their musicianship helped define the sound of an entire generation.
We also explored The Immediate Family, the powerhouse collective of session legends including Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel, and Steve Postell. They shaped the warm, rich sound of the 1970s singer-songwriter era with artists like James Taylor, Carole King, and Linda Ronstadt.
It was a fascinating and heartfelt tribute to the musicians who brought the songs we love to life from behind the scenes.
