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

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.

gpgr4blu - I agree with you that when Daniel Lanois is behind the boards that the result has at times been simply amazing. The records / discs that you noted are definitely on my desert island list. I bought Emily Lou Harris's disc years ago and like really good artists as she is ......I at first didn't like it. The I guess I grew up and then one day a few years back listened to it and was simply amazed how really good it was and she was. Same with Willie's ; '' Teatro '' .....'' The Maker '' just blows me away which didn't Lanois write that song ?          

"Oh Mercy"

I have multiple copies..

What A GREAT RECORDING! On each and every pressing I own>

Yes garebear. Lanois wrote that one. You seem to appreciate the same work and same albums as i do. They are all flat out great songs and great production. All among my favs.
