Favorite music

My preferred collaboration is Lanois with Dylan on "Oh Mercy" - the result is sublime - "The Man in the Long Black Coat" is a masterpiece. Daniel worked again with U2 Vertigo but I felt that this revisited old ground rather than breaking new ground.

Lanois is Canadian, Eh!

It's Lanois's "The Beauty Of Wynona" that has left the greatest impression...I listen to it several times a year.

I went to high school with Chris Whitley in Vermont - what a great guitar player. Looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Thanks for the links, Albert

I'll second Lanois's own, "The Beauty of Wynona", and, "Acadie"

Shadorne,

I have both "Oh Mercy" and "Time Out Of Mind," hard for me to pick between the two, they are so different.

Yes, Lanois is Canadian, seems a good many of my favorite artists are from there.

Siddh,

It's Lanois's "The Beauty Of Wynona" that has left the greatest impression...I listen to it several times a year.

I agree, the LP is stunning. If you followed the link to "I Believe In You," about 38 seconds into the video the uncensored LP cover (non USA version) of "For The Beauty of Wynona" is framed and cleary visible on the wall behind Trixie.

That image is the work of Jan Saudek, the Czeck artist published by Aperture. I always wondered how Daniel choose that art for the cover. It's beautiful and disturbing at the same time.

My favorite track on that LP could easily be "The Collection of Marie Claire."
