Nancy Sinatra :: Drummer Man (w. Hal Blaine)

A couple of years back a friend hipped me to the existence of a (then) recent documentary concerning the revered ’60s L.A. session players known as The Wrecking Crew. Having already read most everything I could find dealing with crew’s core representation of players I made a note to seek it out. It was not long afterwards I realized that catching a screening would prove quite elusive as the critically lauded documentary has remained in limbo the past three years — which brings us to 2011. Last month I managed to wrangle a screener of The Wrecking Crew via one of the film’s producers (more on that coming up). In short, it was worth the wait and among other things reminded me what a deft player, and true workhorse, drummer Hal Blaine was. Here’s a Nancy Sinatra favorite, skins courtesy of Blaine, along with the Wrecking Crew documentary’s trailer.

  1. Really want to see this film hopefully they will be able to release it soon in someway. Even better if it gets a DVD release. I have also read there is a book about The Wrecking Crew planned for early 2012.
