In his new book, On the Road; Recording the Stars in a Golden Age of Music, David Hewitt tells his story of a life spent on the road recording the rich diversity of music in America when it was a major part of our lives, not just digital background noise.
On the Road contains the stories of recording countless hours of live music in its natural habitat, the clubs, theaters, concert halls, and arenas around the world, and gives you a backstage pass to what happens behind the scenes. There were only a few people that succeeded in the rough and tumble business of live recording, and David Hewitt was one of the most successful remote recording engineers of that era, with thousands of live shows to his credit across a mind-boggling array of musical genres.
