Or, to get back to the producer that started the thread, here's a snippet
from the JCM roundtable I mentioned earlier:
Q. What about the producers? I'd like for you to talk about what they
contributed.
Buddy Harman: A lot of 'em were smart enough to let us do what we felt like
would fit the song.....A lot of 'em left us alone, and they'd just play a
demo and we would come up with something.
Ray Edenton: Chet made that statement one time. He was really interested
in it - one of the better producers, I thought. Somebody said (Chet was in
there reading a book), "Why don't you tell these guys what to play?" He
said, "Why the hell should I tell 'em? There're six guys out there. They
could all be producers. Why should I tell 'em that when I got six people
telling me how this record should be made? If I hear something I don't
really like, I'll tell 'em. Otherwise, I'll read my book."
Harold Bradley: Or he'd sit there and practice his guitar.
