Making Rumours

'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.' - The GRAMMYS

Ken Caillat, though, ran the course, and you get to read how he survived (well, almost).' - award-winning songwriter/producer and founder of Eurythmics

'If you've ever wondered what it's like to cut an album with a legendary band who made one of the most popular rock albums in sales and airplay history, then this is the book for you.
