Influential Producers

I've always found it interesting how much a producer can influence the sound of an artist. The right synergy between the two can make a good artist great and really shape the creative process. A few influential producers come to mind: John Levanthal (Rosanne Cash, Shawn Colvin, Marc Cohn), Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams), Tommy Lipuma (Diana Krall). Sometimes I shop recordings by looking for producers who have worked with some of my favorite artists--it doesn't always guarantee a great recording but it helps narrow things down as the producers mark is usually evident no matter which artist is involved. Anyone else look at the credits and see patterns?

There's something about the ultra-processed sound of some of the new producers that doesn't agree with me. I wonder if they could have existed in earlier times when new sounds had to be invented technologically. I guess all that matters is that they're doing what they're doing with what we have now.
Anyway, I'm an old-timer with a preference for the older sounds (50's-early 80's).
