Daniel Lanois (born September 19 , 1951 in Hull , Québec ) is a Canadian Record Producer and Singer-songwriter . He has produced albums for a wide variety of artists and released a number of albums of his own work. Artists he has worked with include Bob Dylan , U2 , Brian Eno , Peter Gabriel , Robbie Robertson , Chris Whitley , Ron Sexsmith and Nash The Slash . He started his production career working in his own studio, Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, Ontario . He worked with a number of local bands, most notably Martha And The Muffins , for whom his sister Jocelyne played bass, as well as the Canadian children's singer Raffi . After being discovered by Brian Eno and working collaboratively with him on some of Eno's own projects, his career was given a huge boost when Eno invited him to co-produce U2's album '' The Unforgettable Fire ''. Bono of U2 recommended Lanois to Bob Dylan in the late 1980s; in 1989 Lanois produced Dylan's '' Oh Mercy '', widely considered one of Dylan's greatest later albums. Eight years later Dylan and Lanois worked together on '' Time Out Of Mind '', Dylan's first album since 1990, which won a Grammy Award For Album Of The Year in 1997. '' Wrecking Ball '', his 1995 collaboration with Emmylou Harris , received almost unanimous critical praise (many critics placed the album on their year-end "best albums of the year" lists), and revived the aging country artist's career, bringing her to the attention of much younger rock audiences. As well as being a producer, singer and songwriter, Lanois plays the Guitar , Pedal Steel and Dobro . His wide range of talents are put to use on many of the albums he produces, where he often leaves his atmospheric and emotionally resonant signature sound. He is now working with Dashboard Confessional on their new album. DISCOGRAPHY
