There was a book written by one of the recording engineers who did the work on Mac's Rumors album. Even if you're not a fan there is a lot of insight into how they actually recorded the tunes back in the day. The book is, "Making Rumors" by Ken Caillat (artist Colbie Caillat's dad)
If anyone else has a good book like "Rumors" I'd be interested!
Rumors is very well recorded and should be owned if you dig Macs groove.
