The brilliant, the one and only Daniel Lanois.

Producer, Musician and Sound Explorer, this one man has influenced my work and sense of musical possibility more than any other artist.

Apart from his own musical works (which are fantastic) his list of production credits are awesome. Bob Dylan, U2, Peter Gabriel, The Neville Brothers, Robbie Robertson, Emmylou Harris and Brian Eno are just a few of the people that have created their best work (in my opinion) with him as their production guide. Read a great interview with Daniel Lanois here. Or see more to view some videos.

Here you can enjoy one of his most beautiful songs, called Still Water from his 1989 album Acadie. I believe that this features the rhythm section from U2, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullin Jr. Followed by a few more bits. Enjoy!
