Summary
Jake Brown looks back over more than two decades of Rick Rubin’s work as a record producer. The book tells stories behind recording sessions and explores how Rubin worked across very different musical styles.
His collaborations and changing roles in the music business provide the setting for a study of studio work. This is Brown’s account of Rubin’s career and methods, rather than a book written by Rubin himself.
