Produced by Tom Werman for Julia's Music inc. Epic A&R turned hit-maker: the guy who helped polish hard rock into arena-sized trouble. Read more... Tom Werman, I think of him as the sonic chiropractor of late-70s/80s rock: he cracks the songs into place and suddenly the chorus stands up straight. He started at Epic Records in 1970, then left fingerprints on Cheap Trick (1977-1978), Ted Nugent (1977), Blue Oyster Cult (1979), and a long Molly Hatchet stretch (1978-1983). Then came the glam-metal fireworks: Motley Crue (1983-1987), Twisted Sister (1984), Poison (late 1987-1988), and Kix (1988).
