Anyone hear Robert Plant's new release, Carry Fire?

Would Dylan's "Oh Mercy" be as great as it was without Daniel Lanois' production? How about "Teatro" by Willie Nelson or "Wrecking Ball" by EmmyLou Harris? There are more--like "Achtung Baby" but I'll stop there.
Most of the time--I look forward to seeing his name attached to a project. 

Oh yeah lj, Trap Door may be my fave of T-Bone's too. I got to see him perform solo in the Sony Records office in L.A. in the late 90's, just him with an acoustic guitar. Intimate! Sam Phillips was with him, but didn't sing any harmonies. I didn't like his later records, on which he pretty much stopped singing melodies, just reciting words instead. After his own records stopped selling, he got into producing others, at which he is real good.

@gpgr4blu ,

I agree that DL has been involved with some of the great recordings...

I think @bdp24 comes from a different perspective that while, may seem harsh on DL's total output, and may have a personal sentiment from a musician's perspective..doesn't disqualify his basic premise that landmark lps could have been much better that DL was involved with.

Slaw:
Agreed. Lanois has a unique style that does not always work. When it does, it can be very effective.

I will say that I met Daniel (I know the guitarist in Henry Rollins’ road band, whose own band did some work with DL), and he was a very cool guy, no attitude what-so-ever. There are plenty of guys I can’t say that about. He did an instore performance at Amoeba Music in Hollywood (employing the aforementioned guitarist and his band as his), and was helping them set up their gear. A lot of very successful and famous musicians would not do that, believe me.
