Critics Review
‘Only a select few, including GRAMMY-winning producer Ken Caillat, can say they had a front-row seat for the birth of said phenomenon. The soap opera accompanying the making of Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 album, Rumours, is a music story for the ages. Making Rumours is Caillat’s personal account of the making of the album. Given Caillat’s work as the album’s co-producer and co-engineer, readers not only get the ultimate behind-the-glass perspective but also an intimate glimpse of the creative process and the triumphs and challenges that ultimately defined Rumours.’ – Tim McPhate * The GRAMMYS *‘Making Rumours might just be the best rock and roll biography I have ever read… an insightful and thorough read about a pivotal time in rock and roll.’ * Vintage Rock *‘This gossipy book describes all the makeups and breakups that figure in one of the most popular and enduring of all rock albums. Irresistible peeks into the way this classic album took shape.’ * The New York Times *
