Abstract Session musicians are music industry's hidden stars, unique and versatile players who spend hours every day in the recording studio working with the finest recording artists. Their talent is essential for anyone who wants to succeed in the industry. Nashville session musicians are a tight-knit group of people, and Pierce tells the inside story of their lives and careers based on first-hand knowledge, meetings, interviews, and documents given directly to the author by the musicians themselves. There is no diluted point of view, only the musicians speaking about the art (and industry) of making music.
