One of the greats.

The latest Dickinson-produced release I've been listening to lately is John Hiatt's Master of Disaster. At one point, wasn't Dickinson slated to produce part or all of The Deliveryman?

R.I.P.

Really saddened by the news this past weekend- first encountered him years ago with his work with Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Brothers as well as his work with Alex Chilton and Big Star-there are so many albums that he had a hand in producing or playing on- my favorite moment is his piano work on "Wild Horses" for the Rolling Stones- he has left a valuable legacy and two very capable sons in Luther and Cody.
