The Music Producers Series: Phil Spector

[matt2500]

Great post. This is really cool stuff.

I, too, would like to hear more about Rick Rubin. His American Recordings albums with Johnny Cash are among my all-time favorites.

How about Jack Endino, though he's probably too fringe. But I was in college in the Seattle area in the late 80s, and was into the local music scene. But then Mudhoney came out with 'Touch Me I'm Sick.' That was the song that told me something was really up in Seattle, and Endino produced it. For a while, his name was synonymous with Seattle music, and that song is 'grunge' to me.

I think Daniel Lanois is worth a mention as well.

Indeed... I'd also like to hear more about Billy Sherrill, even though that lush, opulent country sound seems wrong now with artists like George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Charlie Rich.. the guy knew how to make a song a standard.

Deserving of mention is Phil Spector's pivotal cameo in Easy Rider where he plays the drug dealer in the pre-opening credits deal.

Just adding this link in to somewhat show a producers input, Nirvana - Nevermind.

Lets not forget Mutt Lange. Tons of great albums.

Can't wait to hear what Rubin does with U2's new album.
