Transcending The Blues: Read Our Interview With Legendary Record Producer Daniel Lanois On Motorcyles, Rock N' Roll and His Ongoing Exploration Of Inventing New Sounds →

Daniel Lanois lives and breathes music in a very literal sense. As a true audiophile, he seems to be marinating in centuries of sound waves, honing in on some of historyโ€™s most visceral musical compositions. Itโ€™s as though he pulls rhythms directly from the ground and resonant frequencies from the stratosphere. This description may seem over the top, and while it comes from a place of genuine reverence, I can say that over the 3 hours that we spent together, I witnessed this phenomenon with my very own eyes and ears. When he tells a story, it doesnโ€™t suffice to tell it in words. His life story wouldnโ€™t make sense unless he sang it to you, played it for you, and punctuated it with his signature, โ€œyea, man.โ€ Which is why I had to compile all of these bits in an audio file to give you a real feel for who he is and how he communicates. Itโ€™s really quite elevating. Click here to read the full interview.
