Ken Nelson Mark Dillman Some record producers are as much celebrities as the musicians they record. Not Ken Nelson. In his book, he refers to himself as a behind the scene person in the making of phonograph records. Thus my frustration. I probably first noticed Nelson's name in the late 1970s when I started buying reissued record.

The autobiography of a man who lived a rich, full life, a man who grew up in an America that has now vanished and who became an icon in that most American of businesses, the country and western music industry.
