RECENTLY READ: Rick Rubin: In The Studio by Jake Brown
I wouldn’t call this a book, as much as I would call it a collection of articles. Jake Brown did a LexisNexis search and came up with every article about Rick Rubin, then combined them chronologically into a biography. It might be a stretch to call Jake Brown the author of this book, but I thank him for his time spent researching.
That said, Rubin’s life is extremely interesting — amazing how he has made a name for himself by forcing artists to focus on the music itself, and stripping away any excess. For a man that has produced so many great records, he makes his job seem easy, though no one else can do it quite like him. Oh, and his favorite record? Back in Black.
