Abstract:
Recording James Taylor’s “Before This World”
Dave O'Donnell has recorded and mixed many top artists, including Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Keb' Mo', Lyle Lovett, Milton Nascimento, and Ray Charles. His credits include the critically acclaimed GRAMMY-winning October Road by James Taylor.
In this Master Class, Mr. O’Donnell gives us a detailed look at the making of James Taylor’s #1 album, Before This World—James’ first recording of all-original material in some 13 years. Featuring raw tracks and original session notes, Dave explains the fine points of recording world-class musicians in (sometimes) unconventional surroundings ranging from hotel rooms to James’ personal studio “barn.”
