Musician Joseph Henry Burnett is more well known as
T-Bone Burnett, but I've been calling him "Him Again." He has produced so many of my favorite albums of recent years, including
Gregg Allman's
Low Country Blues,
Steve Earle's
I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive,
Willie Nelson's
Country Music, and the
Robert Plant/
Alison Krauss collaboration,
Raising Sand, as well as the soundtracks to
O Brother, Where Art Thou,
The Big Lebowski and
Crazy Heart.
A neat new compilation that I bought at Starbucks (but I don't believe it's exclusive to the chain) collects lots of the cool music he has produced over the years. T-Bone himself writes about all the songs, which is really cool. The collection does a good job of hitting many of his recent high points, although it omits the Willie album. Still, definitely worth getting, particularly if you don't have a lot of these records.
