This first critical appreciation of T Bone Burnett reveals how the
proponent of Americana music and producer of artists ranging from
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss to B. B. King and Elvis Costello has
profoundly influenced American music and culture. T Bone Burnett is
a unique, astonishingly prolific music producer, singer-songwriter,
guitarist, and soundtrack visionary. Renowned as a studio maven
with a Midas touch, Burnett is known for lifting artists to their
greatest heights, as he did with Raising Sand, the multiple Grammy
Award-winning album by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, as well as
acclaimed albums by Los Lobos, the Wallflowers, B. B. King, and
Elvis Costello. Burnett virtually invented "Americana" with his
hugely successful roots-based soundtrack for the Coen Brothers
film, O Brother, Where Art Thou? Outspoken in his contempt for the
entertainment industry, Burnett has nevertheless received many of
its highest honors, including Grammy Awards and an Academy Award. T
Bone Burnett offers the first critical appreciation of Burnett's
wide-ranging contributions to American music, his passionate
advocacy for analog sound, and the striking contradictions that
define his maverick artistry. Lloyd Sachs highlights all the
important aspects of Burnett's musical pursuits, from his early
days as a member of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue and his
collaboration with the playwright Sam Shepard to the music he
recently composed for the TV shows Nashville and True Detective and
his production of the all-star album Lost on the River: The New
Basement Tapes. Sachs also underscores Burnett's brilliance as a
singer-songwriter in his own right. Going well beyond the labels
"legendary" or "visionary" that usually accompany his name, T Bone
Burnett reveals how this consummate music maker has exerted a
powerful influence on American music and culture across four
decades.
