This episode shines a light on Daniel Lanois, the producer and songwriter who has shaped Americana with his atmospheric touches. From “Jolie Louise” and “The Maker” on his debut Acadie to the Neville Brothers’ “Yellow Moon” and Dylan’s “Shooting Star,” we explore his French Canadian roots, early work with Brian Eno, and the creative spark that made Dylan's "Oh Mercy" a landmark.
