Legendary record producer Tom Werman is this episode’s guest. His new book is called
Turn It Up!: My Time Making Hit Records In The Glory Days Of Rock Music (Featuring Mötley Crüe, Poison, Twisted Sister, Jeff Beck, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, And More). As an A&R man at Epic Records, Werman helped introduce the world to REO Speedwagon, Boston, Ted Nugent, and Cheap Trick; he also discovered KISS, Rush, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but his record label passed on all of them. As an independent producer, he oversaw landmark albums by Mötley Crüe (
Shout At The Devil), Twisted Sister (
Stay Hungry), Lita Ford (
Dangerous Curves), Jeff Beck (
Live With Jan Hammer), Poison (
Open Up And Say … Ahh!), and many more. All in all, his record-making résumé includes twenty-three gold- or platinum-selling albums and sales of more than fifty-two million copies. Here’s here to talk about the bands he discovered and the classic albums he produced, including some inside stories behind the recording process!
