"If you know what you want, I'll get it for you. If you don't know what you want, I'll do it for you." Todd Rundgren. Few record producers possess the musical facility to back up such a bold promise, but in over forty-plus years behind the glass, Todd Rundgren has willed himself into becoming a not only a rock guitar virtuoso, an accomplished lead vocalist, and a serviceable drummer, vocal arranger and keyboard player, but also a master of perhaps his greatest instrument of all, the recording studio.
Throughout his career, Rundgren has ping-ponged between the worlds of producer and recording artist with varying degrees of critical and commercial success. After learning his craft as a songwriter and arranger, with Nazz, Rundgren gained attention for engineering recordings by The Band. His reputation was cemented by a string of noteworthy productions beginning in 1971 with Sparks, and continuing with classic albums for Grand Funk, The New York Dolls, Badfinger, Hall and Oates, Meat Loaf, Patti Smith Group, Psychedelic Furs, and XTC. All of this alongside his own solo albums – such as Something/Anything, A Wizard A True Star, and Hermit Of Mink Hollow – on which he played and sang virtually everything, and a series of albums by his band, Utopia.
Researched and written with the participation and cooperation of Rundgren himself, A Wizard A True Star is a fascinating and authoritative trip through the land of flickering red lights inhabited by a studio wizard who has rarely enjoyed a proper victory lap along the many trails that he has blazed. It draws upon exclusive new interviews with Robbie Robertson, Patti Smith, XTC, Sparks, Daryl Hall and John Oates, Meat Loaf, Jim Steinman, Cheap Trick, Grand Funk, The Psychedelic Furs, The Tubes, Steve Hillage, all members of Rundgren's legendary band, Utopia, and many other key Rundgren associates.

Even longtime fans can learn a thing or two...or three
By Jack Criss
Kudos to author Paul Myers for his incisive and informative new work, "A Wizard, A True Star," which, as the subtitle indicates, focuses primarily on Rundgren's production career. This is no techno-garbled, casual-fans-not-apply book, however: interspersed within the production stories (all fascinating and non-technical) are biographical snippets which will come as revelations to fans. As a 30-year follower myself, I discovered facts about Rundgren which I had not known up until reading this book.
Myers' style is succinct and to the point which makes for a quick and entertaining read. Moreover, the book is esthetically well-made with quality binding and excellent photographs prefacing the text which, again, are new to me as a bona fide Rundgren fanatic and will be welcome viewing to all TR fans.
My only complaint---and it is a minor one---is the speed with which Myers seems to close the book: the last few years of Rundgren's career are dashed off rapidly with little emphasis put on his production efforts with Jill Sobule, Splender, 12 Rods and Bad Religion or his own solo works. Also noticeably absent is any reference to the aborted TR-produced project by Julie Christensen. These are small quibbles, however. The coverage of more well-known TR productions (Meat Loaf, Badfinger, Psychedelic Furs, Grand Funk, Patti Smith) are well worth the price of the book alone.
"A Wizard, A True Star" is quite excellent and informative. If you are a Todd Rundgren fan---or a rock music buff---this work belongs in your collection.

Satisfyingly informative.
By B. Thompson
This book is wonderfully informative regarding Todd Rundgren's historic (can I say mind-boggling?) recording career, very often quoting Todd himself in addition to so many other legends that have had the privilege of working with him. It even includes several equipment lists for all those tech-head fans.
Myers fills in a lot of blind spots and missing puzzle pieces in Todd's career that I always wondered about. For instance, the details of his days in L.A. on Astral Drive during the "Something/Anything" recordings, and the time he lived and worked in Sausalito during the "Nearly Human" days, are both satisfactorily covered here -- among many more classic eras. The entire book is an enjoyable read no matter what your favorite Todd "era" happens to be. Overall it's well-written, professional, revealing and smartly designed with a nice, rugged cover. Just what a legend like Todd Rundgren deserves.

Essential reading for Todd fans!

Kudos to Paul Myers for his incisive and well-written portrait chronicling Todd Rundgren's seminal work in the studio, as a solo artist and with Utopia. Impeccably researched, Myers garnered hands-on participation from "The Runt" himself along with a wealth of other Rundgren related folks, from XTC to Grand Funk, Hall & Oates to Cheap Trick, The Band's Robbie Robertson to Joey Molland of Badfinger, all adding to the grand and expansive tapestry of rememberances to create this must read.
One of music's most criminally underrated artists, Todd Rundgren is a national treasure. "A Wizard, A True Star: Todd Rundgren in the Studio" is a grand slam, and succeeds in honoring the artist's sweeping musical achievements. Highly recommended.
