Producing R.E.M. with Don Dixon

What Is Music?: A Music Podcast About R.E.M.

Adam sits down with music producer, songwriter, and artist Don Dixon to discuss his work as part of the producing team for Murmur and Reckoning by R.E.M..
They talk about how Don became a music producer, how he met Mitch Easter, and how he started working with R.E.M.. They look at the differences between the two albums, as well as the challenges they faced whilst making them.
They also touch on the legacy of the albums, how R.E.M. went on to become a much bigger band, and what it is that Don values in music.

Our next episode is out on Monday February 5th and will begin our coverage of Fables of the Reconstruction, the third album by R.E.M..
