Joe Henry

Episode 236: It would be difficult to name one musician with such long and distinguished resumes as both a recording artist and a record producer as Joe Henry. Since emerging around 1990 as a layered, visionary songwriter, he's released 17 albums to almost universal acclaim. And since his tutelage under T Bone Burnett, stemming from one of his early albums, he's been an in-demand producer with credits on Amy Helm, Bonnie Raitt, the Carolina Chocolate Drops and many more. I spoke with Joe by Zoom from his home in rural Maine and we talked about three albums that shaped him, 1990s Shuffletown, 2001's Scar and his latest, the moody All The Eye Can See.
