T Bone
A few weeks back T Bone Burnett came into the studio for a private concert.
I didn't know too much about T Bone prior to this so it was just another private concert to engineer.
As is usually the case when artists come by the station - T Bone was promoting his latest latest work - The True False Identity
I hadn't heard anything from it yet but I really enjoyed the private concert. It was moody, spooky, droney and very film noir-ish.
I also chatted with him a bit about sound, production and the protools unit I was using. T bone is a legendary producer and he paid me a compliment on the vocal sound I was getting. (blush) BTW - T bone admits to using corrective production techniques to fix wrong notes in vocal tracks. Gasp away - thats life.
Anyway - I listened to the CD and loved it.
I've had it on the iPOD since that day in April and it's been spinning pretty regularly.
I saw T Bone on Charlie Rose last night (famous public TV interview show) for a short segment and it reminded me that this is a work I had to talk about.
Give it a listen if you're into a slightly twisted - dark and cinematic vibe with a hint of David Lynch.
