Rick Beato hangs with Daniel Lanois

Lanois is an incredibly talented, soulful musician and producer. Bono called him, “a priest of music.” He’s been invited to collaborate and produce records with everyone from Peter Gabriel to Bob Dylan to U2 to Willie Nelson. He’s written scores to films (including one of the strangest, most unforgettable films ever made: Slingblade), video games, and lots of fantastic solo work (check out The Maker or The Messenger). It’s a long conversation, but here’s a brief audio clip of one of my favorite moments, to get you started.
