This documentary provides a wonderful insight into the recording business as it was in the early days when Tom Dowd established himself as one of the foremost recording engineers of our time. To learn that he passed away shortly after the film's completion is extremely sad, as he was a unique talent. He love for music comes through loud and clear in both his personal comments, and those of the myriad stars he committed to tape and wax. It is hard to believe that someone could remain at the top of his industry for a full half century, influencing multiple generations in the process. Anyone with an interest in music, recording, or production should enjoy this comprehensive look at Tom Dowd and his life.
