Rough mix

by Jimmy Bowen

Rough Mix is the story of Jimmy Bowen, a maverick who has always refused to play by the rules, yet who for many years has been one of the most influential figures on the music scene, with a career that has spanned rock and roll, contemporary pop, and country. Now he becomes the first of the music giants to tell it like it is, in this remarkably unsparing account of a unique personal and creative journey - from the mid-1950s dawn of rock to the rise of the New Nashville, where Bowen was the architect behind some of country music's most prominent superstar careers.
