"Pure insight into a genius mind ... If you are someone who
followed the Chili Peppers, Cash, Audioslave, Petty, Metallica,
Danzig, Slayer, The Cult, Weezer, the Chicks, Linkin Park, System
of a Down, or even Neil Diamond, here's a great place to glean
great insight into their studio approaches." -- Wrestling
Observer/Figure Four Online
"Rubin's story is the stuff of legend, and his place in the music
history books is all but assured. Brown's writing style here is
likewise breezy and easy to follow, particularly given all the
studio details. For students of the recording process, I can't
imagine coming across a better read than this one." Blog
Critics
"Some of the anecdotes from recording sessions with the biggest
names in music are worth the price of admission alone and Jake
[Brown's] love of both music and his subject matter are evident in
every page. Appealing to musicians old and new, Rick Rubin: In The
Studio is not only a great read, but also a great text book for
anyone interested in a career in music." -- Abort Magazine
"The story of a true auteur of the recording studio control room,
Rick Rubin: In The Studio is an inspirational read for everyone
interested in all that goes into the production of great records."
-- Music Connection
"With his great beard, Rick Rubin looks as if he could be the lost
member of ZZ Top. In reality, he's a music exec of historic
proportions -- he founded Def Jam Records -- and one of the top
producers of our times. The artists he's worked with range from
Run-DMC to Johnny Cash. Brown, a Nashville-based music biographer
didn't speak with Rubin, but he did get stories from some of the
musicians he produced, bringing readers into the studio for some of
the last 25 years' most influential and best-loved albums." -- New
York Post
