by Clive Young Legendary producer/engineer Glyn Johns' autobiography Sound Man is filled with cool stories about creating classic albums with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Clash, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, The Eagles, Neil Young, The Steve Miller Band and many, many more. The tales are fun, but there's also a lot that audio pros can learn from Johns' book. Here's just 10 lessons we took away from Sound Man.
"I grew up in Detroit and my parents lived in the suburbs when they had me. My dad and mom were always listening to Motown or classic rock stations when we were in the car.

So yeah, music ran in the family." - Roger Goodman, owner, Royal House Recording.
