The Wrecking Crew aspires to do for session musicians what 20 Feet From Stardom did for backup singers. The Wrecking Crew falls short, but not from lack of material or talent. The Wrecking Crew needed a better arranger. The Wrecking Crew correctly starts with an explanation of who they are, why they are obscure and what makes them important, but instead of introducing each session musician, The Wrecking Crew immediately delves into the meat of their career by having the musicians discuss their work with The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and Phil Spector then either sandwiches the profile of a session member in between these two legends or subsequent to Wilson and Spector’s segments. There is practically a credits sequence in the middle of The Wrecking Crew, and afterwards, there is a profile for each session musician. If it wasn’t for this editorial misstep, The Wrecking Crew could have been a legendary documentary in addition to a love letter from a son to his father, Tony Tedesco, one of the legendary members of The Wrecking Crew. Despite its flaws, The Wrecking Crew is a great documentary that will appeal to all audiences. The special features are legion so give yourself enough time to indulge in all the interviews that were cut from The Wrecking Crew.
