what are you listening to?

I like Daniel Lanois' production, though it can seem a little overblown on occasion. But Fallen Angel and Emmylou's Wrecking Ball are two of my all-time favorite albums.
 
One of my all-time favorite albums right there.

"Somewhere down the crazy river" is my favorite track, but the entire record is great. Not many from 87 or later where every track is good...
I agree Jim, very special album.

“All the tears, all the rage
All the blues in the night
If my eyes could see
You kneeling in the silver light”.................
 
Interesting. My JRiver Media Center software tagged all the tracks under the album name Fallen Angel, which is the lead track. Should just be eponymous. Didn't think to look at the actual CD. But yes, one of my all-time favorite CDs, and to have come out in 1987 almost made the year, musically. At least for me.
 
I'll have to check at home tonight, but I think it was reworked and included on this album. Have to see how they handled the bass if it is.

It is on this album. Apollo Jane sings lead, Deitrick Haddon adds some additonal vocals for a couple of nice moments. There's some bass here but not having the original to compare to, I'm not sure if it's the same. Still, a great arrangement. In fact, all of the arrangements are pretty spectacular.

Edit to add: pretty sure his portraits were designed to impart the aura of someone very serious but it sure appears that he's not a terribly happy person. His personal photographs that are included are, however, stunning.
