Their first hit single was written by Bob Dylan. When they recorded Mr. Tambourine Man, Roger McGuinn was the only member of the group considered good enough to play on the recording date, so session players were called in to lay down the tracks. Those session players eventually became known as The Wrecking Crew.By the way, the documentary movie, The Wrecking Crew, is going to finally have national distribution to theatres in 2015. What good news that is and one movie you must add to your list of must see films.
