Super-producer Daniel Lanois takes his own act on the road
In a steel forest of corporate towers,Digital cctv ccd camera is very great. he watches leaves blowing up the street and up the building he's in, and imagines a day when nature reasserts its authority,mp5forsale womenhandbags compact fluorescent light. the buildings crumble and fall, and a city he loves returns to its original state of grace.
Lanois' powers of concentration, his uncanny ability to note details in the bigger picture, are key reasons why he's become one of the world's most respected and sought-after music producers of the last quarter-century.
Quite apart from his side career as a guitar wizard and roots-rock frontman, Lanois has crafted hit records for virtually all the biggest names in popular music,roseabc started a new discussion called Payments. from Toronto's Martha and the Muffins in 1981, to U2's breakthrough triumphs The Unforgettable Fire in 1984 and Grammy-winning The Joshua Tree in 1987, Bob Dylan's comeback Oh Mercy in 1989, and the 1997 Grammy-winning Dylan disc Time Out of Mind.
His reputation rests on building tapestries of sound that feel almost three-dimensional, but there's another reason for Lanois' continuing success: his work ethic. The kid born in Hull, Que., and raised in Hamilton, Ont., is not here simply because of his affection for the city, or for the French language of his heritage; he's got records to sell, and books to flog.
Weeks after hitting the stump promoting the new Neil Young album he produced, September's Le Noise, Lanois is back with a band project called Black Dub,computerpartsforsale- Somerset recover from early. out Tuesday, and a memoir called Soul Mining: A Musical Life, in bookstores Nov. 20. Then there's a tour, kicking off in New York later this year and coming to Canada in the winter. "Maybe I'll start it here in Montreal," he says. There's also a film in the production line somewhere.
"It's been a good harvest this fall, pardon the pun. Neil, Black Dub, a Brandon Flowers album, the book, I like to keep busy. For a French-Canadian dude who didn't start with much, I've stuck to it."
As proof of the man's drive, look no further back than last June, when he landed in intensive care after a motorcycle accident that left him with 10 broken bones, internal bleeding and the real possibility he might die.
A month later, he was back working on the Young album, albeit from a wheelchair. "Neil called me up at the hospital and asked me how the record was coming along. It turns out work is great rehab."
Lanois looks fit now and proclaims himself healthy enough to take his act on the road.Euromoney Institutional Investor has bolstered its information business in the arcane world of structured finance,rootabc. Though in his late 50s, and wealthy enough to retire to any one of his homes in New Orleans, Los Angeles and Negril, Jamaica, he's as excited as a kid about being part of a touring band.
You can't blame him. Black Dub is his most spontaneous, coherent album in memory, even as it embraces the gospel, soul, funk, rock and reggae genres so dear to his heart. And the band smokes. His virtuoso rhythm section consists of Louisiana stalwarts Brian Blade (Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock) on drums and bassist Daryl Johnson. Lanois handles guitars, compositions and dials.
