As many of you know, Daniel Lanois is the masterful producer behind such greats as Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Aaron Neville, the Slingblade soundtrack, U2, Peter Gabriel and many more.

What I like so much about these clips is Lanois’ demonstration of his deep connection with the emotional and spiritual current that runs through music and sound. You can see this especially in his coaching of the drummer in the first clip. Plus, his parting comment at the end of each clip really makes you think about what music and performance is all about. Well said Mr. Lanois.

I picked up this CD a while ago, but never really gave it the time it needs until recently. It is an amazing piece of work. What’s interesting is that several of the tunes sound like they could have been written during Genesis’ “Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” era. Dark, gritty, heavy. Great stuff.

OK, so I’ve totally fallen in love all over again with Nickel Creek. “Why Should the Fire Die?” is brilliant. What sucks is I’m also bummed all over again that they’re on indefinite hiatus. Come back Nickel Creek!
