He produces lovely melodies. Smooth, hypnotic, gospel-y, organic. And he gets his music into movie soundtracks of note.

Watch the arc of the albums he produced for other artists, Dylan, U2, Emmy Lou Harris, etc. The peaks are often the DL productions.

Fantastic album, front to back. Daniel Lanois has a long list of artists he has worked with and contributed to their commercial success, but he is truly an artist in his own right as well. This album and Shine (which followed) are favourites of mine.

He produced Robbie's first solo album a year or so before this one, and if I recall some of the same musicians/vocalists guest on this album and on Robbie's. So there is a lot shared between this album and Robbie's self-titled release. |

Well, they are both Canadians. In fact, I am working in an officer tower right now next to a window that looks out over Daniel's boyhood house in Gatineau—the erstwhile Hull—in the province of Quebec. Daniel is one of the world's most talented music producers, having produced LPs for Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Neil Young, and so on. H is also a talented singer, songwriter and musician in his own right. |

Love that fretless base, but the line palls after the 37th repetition.

This is a beauty from Daniel. In fact the entire album is great. Been a while since I last played it, but hearing this song I'm sure I put the CD in the player...and play it of course.

I think Mr. Lanois also produced a Robbie Robertson album or two. And if I'm not mistaken, I think that's Robbie singing in the background. Or did you already know that?
I thought so! |

i LOVED this CD from beginning to end. It was my favorite one for a long time, and Lanois' style will never cease to amaze me. He sings of a time and place that made me long to go there. But...what the hell....It was only Canada.
A 10, 10, 10, again and again.

I think you missed the point. pousso extended the term or religion to mean whatever you commit your life to, so it includes, say, science or art. And faith was extended to mean whatever assumptions you have about the world. Now while I agree to the definition he gave to faith, since we don't know everything about the world so some things are just assumptions, and we just believe them to be true, for lack of other options, I don't agree to his version of religion. Religion is, to me, about turning faith into an organized system, an external structure that you choose/have to be part of. And also it has a strong component of proselytism that makes it too agressive for my taste. Still, some would probably tell me I'm a hypocrite, so... to each his own :)

I am not stupid enough to believe in someone or something which point cannot be demonstrated. Faith is a comfortable numb substitute to knowledge .

For example, although I personally don't agree with the Catholic church when I replace their use of "God" with "Love" it amazingly seems to work for me. If you don't like the thought of "God" as The Maker try "Love" and the song will make you feel better. It's all in the interpretation. But that's just my view and that's alright for me.
Oh, and thanks to the comments about Robbie Robertson. I didn't initially recognize him in there but I think you're right. Two great Canadian boys doing what they do best.

I'm with you guys! Also, (as others have said) if you get a chance to see Lanois in a live venue don't pass it up, he's great on stage! |
