I remain a huge Lanois fan and I would like to produce. The "problem" is that
I am an entertainment attorney, and as such, the sense seems to be that
attorneys cannot possibly produce ("Oh how cute, he fancies himself a producer
--really!", comes the sneer.) But I love music and am happy to start anywhere
in this pursuit.
Any ideas?

For what it's worth, Clive Davis (ex-President of CBS Records and Arista
Records) started out as corporate lawyer. He's now considered one of the few
"music men" who have "ears" left in the business. He's credited as a
"producer" or "executive producer" on many of the albums he has worked on.
You may want to consider working for a record company in business affairs
with an eye toward moving into A&R after you've got a good network of
managers and lawyers in place.
Good luck, but just don't sign and produce the kind of schlock that Clive
Davis is famous for.

Subject: What is a producer, really?
Hey folks -- I've been a Lanois fan for years, and love the stuff he's
done with other bands (U2, Harris, Nelson, Gabriel, etc...) But I wonder,
what does a "producer" really do? If the songs are written by, say, U2,
what does the producer do before it gets on tape? Do they help with the
arrangement, with the songwriting, with inspiration? Seems like Lanois
has a really big influence on some of the bands -- like with Willy Nelson,
he played guitar on a lot of the tracks and seemed like he was just as
much a part of the creative process as anyone else on the record.

I found this on the internet....the "young guitarist with the Firebird"
would be Ethan Johns, son of Glyn Johns who produced Western Wall (and about
a million other albums...
*EMMYLOU HARRIS RELEASES RED DIRT GIRL SEPTEMBER 12TH*
Folk and country music fans will be happy to know that Emmylou Harris will
soon be releasing RED DIRT GIRL - Harris' first solo studio recording since
1995's WRECKING BALL. Harris, who in the course of her 29 album career has
worked with legends like Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Neil Young, will
be rounding out RED DIRT GIRL with a Dave Matthews duet. RED DIRT GIRL will
also enlist the vocal talent of Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa and Patty
Griffin.
Harris' GIRL features Malcolm Burn at the production helm (who also had a
hand in WRECKING BALL), and will also include Buddy Miller on lead guitar,
Daryl Johnson on bass and drums, Malcolm Burn on piano, guitar and bass, and
Ethan Johns on drums, guitar and various other instruments. RED DIRT GIRL,
of which 11 of the 12 tracks were penned by Harris herself, is slated for
release September 12th on Nonesuch Records. Emmylou's feelings about the
upcoming album? "RED DIRT GIRL is a very meaningful record for me. I've only
written this much for an album once before - for THE BALLAD OF SALLY ROSE -
and I'm very pleased as well with what we have accomplished in the studio."

Subject: Acadie / Slingblade cd
I have a nicely-packaged "promo" CDR which has the complete ACADIE album
on it, plus the Lanois SLING BLADE soundtrack music which contains stuff
that is not commerically available: "Asylum" (almost twice as long as the
soundtrack version), "I'm Your Boy" (the vocal oriented track leading up
to the point in the movie where Billy Bob goes to visit his dad), and
"Karl" (a nice, quiet piano track which appears in the scene where Billy
Bob walks back to the asylum after spending only a day out in the real
world).
Anyone interested in obtaining a copy should email me (not the list) for
details.
Also, I'd be willing the trade a copy for the latest soundtrack which I
can't track down yet.
