"Hal heard one of the older guys say to another older musician, ‘These guys are going to wreck the business playing this rock & roll'": Wrecking Crew director explains how the group of LA’s elite session musicians got their name

Carol Kaye, 1966.

You may recall that last week Carol Kaye – living legend of bass playing and member of the so-called Wrecking Crew – turned down her invitation into the Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame and expressed disdain at the term Wrecking Crew, claiming that she “was never a ‘wrecker’ at all”.

Now, the director of the definitive documentary of the esteemed group of LA session musicians has shed some light on Kaye’s decision and revealed the derivation of the Wrecking Crew name.
