But not only is he a producer, he’s also an artist in his own right. His latest solo release is called Heavy Sun, and it focuses on his love of gospel music. Lanois joins host Stephen Kallao to share stories from throughout his career, plus a live performance. That’s coming up, on the next World Cafe.
