Daniel Lanois - The Maker
Like the post title says it's Monday again... has everyone recovered from putting the clocks forward? Yes? So let's get to the old man music then :-)
Daniel Lanois was born in 1951 in Hull, Quebec, Canada. Professionally, he's probably best known as a music producer and engineer, having produced albums by Peter Gabriel ("So"), Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, and others, but he was best known to me for his collaborations with Brian Eno in producing U2's seminal albums "The Unforgettable Fire" and "The Joshua Tree." But in addition to producing and engineering, Lanois has had a productive solo music career too. His song "The Maker" was released in 1989 as a track on his LP "Acadie." I love this song and its rolling bass line and ambient sound. My other favourite from this album is "Jolie Louise", an upbeat but dark and tragic folksong. Have a listen to it as well.
Now to the painting! This week we have:

Have a great week everyone.
