Re: Production-- Ralph Emery's take on this thread
Most assuredly every writer does not like every editor he/she is ever assigned to work with, but I've never been in a position where I just handed my manuscript to an editor and said "Here, change it at will." There's a give and take there, much like what El Presidente Gracey described. Looking back on this thread (that was Shane excerpted above, and below), it's becoming evident that of the many facets of music we can discuss around here, production is perhaps the most slippery. Since music appreciation is inately subjective, and, lacking personal testimony from the participants, it's impossible to really know how a producer and artist are collaborating, arguing about production is sort of like arguing about which primary color is prettiest. And I started the damn thread! Anyhow, in my own arbitrary, subjective head, I do prefer to maintain the myth that the artist is the one calling the shots on production. As for Chet Atkins, since most of the artists he worked with wound up receiving similar arrangements for their tunes, I'd say that's fairly good evidence that he was calling the shots. That doesn't mean the artists had a problem with his choices (though I don't know that you can assume perfect harmony on those choices either). Yes, young upstart writers don't always get the luxury of choosing their editor, but a good editor worthy of the job title doesn't take the writer out of the editing process-- indeed, the writer is the key ingredient in the editing process. As an editor, and a writer, I'll just say that it pisses me off when a writer leaves all the work to me, as an editor. The final product is going to look a lot more like what the writer intended, if he or she thinks it through, and does internal editing him or herself, before handing it to me. So, maybe in the same way, I prefer those producers who gently usher the artist through the process, and expect the artist to call the shots on fundamental issues, such as, do we use a 40-piece orchestra, or just call in Del McCoury et al. With the caveat, of course, that sometimes my sense of how the record came to be is fabricated in my own head, molded with my own preconceptions and dispositions. -- Terry Smith np Bobby Bare/Chet Atkins again. "The Game of Triangles" is a killer song. I'm wondering how it would go over here in the late 90s. It has one line that goes something like this, "A woman can't steal a husband who's happy at home." Yikes.

That doesn't mean the artists had a problem with his choices (though I don't know that you can assume perfect harmony on those choices either). I'm going to pick at this a little bit more, if y'all can stand it. The problem, as I see it, is that this still suggests a model in which the artist simply comes in to get his orders and has the choice of objecting or assenting, when the way things work in the studio is typically somewhat more complicated, if only because it's not a vacuum. A lot of records, not just those produced by Atkins, had similar arrangements in the sense I think you mean, Terry; everyone would arrive at the studio with the same commercial/artistic context in mind. Let me recommend again to anyone with an interest in the subject the current issue of the Journal of Country Music, which has a lengthy excerpt from a transcript of a 1989 roundtable discussion among a bunch of studio musicians who were on many of those old records; the title is "Let's Cut A Hit: talking with A-Team Nashville Studio Musicians." Personally, having had experience both as a writer and as a recording musician, I think the differences between the two situations outweigh the similarities. np Bobby Bare/Chet Atkins again.

RE: Production-- Ralph Emery's take on this thread
-Original Message- From: Shane S. Rhyne [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I guess I said all that to say this-- it doesn't make sense to me that folks can single-handedly blame Chet Atkins (or insert name of producer here) for any perceived faults in the production of Bobby Bare's (or insert name of artist here) records. Atkins may have acheived a good level of power, but I find it hard to believe he could force "Countrypolitan" down the throat of anyone who did not willingly want to collaborate to some degree. [Matt Benz] This is true, but there are terrible producers who will not only ruin the sound of a song, but actually add lyrics, bridges, etcessentially re-write your song. So a artist can be manipulated easily. Surprising that anyone would allow this to happen, but it does. I've seen it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears. Young bands-offered a chance to record-are easily waylaid and manipulated. I wouldn't say this about Atkins. The Countrypolitian Sound, was like the Motown and Stax sound, created by a group of musicians and producers working together on many projects, hence the similarities in sound and style. But it was still organic and complex, not a rote system applied like whitewash. There are as many producer/musician relationships as there are musicians and producers. There's the Ken Nelson school, where he kept out of the way of creativity for the most part, letting Buck Owens run the show while he ran the technical end, listened for problems. Then there's the George Martin type, who starts out in control, but over time becomes more of a musical partner, learning as much as the artist, then there's those producers who Rule as Gods, ala Phil Spector. And every other kind you can think of, from drinking buddy to the guy in the band who owns the board. Did you know the Beatles, in 1969, claimed that Phil Spector ruined their "Let It Be" songs with heaps of strings and choirs? Well, at least McCartney complained. I don't think the others cared anymore. Matt, wearing his new Turncoat proudly

Sometimes the producer is the de facto artist, like Phil Spector, whose artists were pretty much nameless and interchangeable (except perhaps the Righteous Bros) and who really was the star of the show.

Some of them are people who put the money up for the session and appropriate the "producer" title just because they can, not having a clue.

There is no question that Chet was making the conscious attempt to popularize country music by using pop elements the the RCA records he was making. I was a kid dj in Ft.

Re: Production-- Ralph Emery's take on this thread
Howdy, Thanks for the input Matt!, Jon, Joe and Terry. Your responses to my post (particularly my personal testimony) bring me to some new questions. As I mentioned, I don't know jack about how to make a record. I'm just a listener. I suppose I always assumed that production was a more collaborative effort than what it sounds like. In language I can understand, I'll illustrate the point that I always carried the idea that it was something like the relationship between writers and editors. Most assuredly every writer does not like every editor he/she is ever assigned to work with, but I've never been in a position where I just handed my manuscript to an editor and said "Here, change it at will." There's a give and take there, much like what El Presidente Gracey described. Yes, young upstart writers don't always get the luxury of choosing their editor, but a good editor worthy of the job title doesn't take the writer out of the editing process-- indeed, the writer is the key ingredient in the editing process. Even a young writer without a single byline to his credit has the ability (if not the flat-out responsibility) to stand-up for himself and exercise some semblance of control over the editing process. The editor (and, in my perhaps naive assumption, the producer) is part-technician, part-advisor, part-midwife, and part-security blanket. Since each the editor and the writer has some stake in the success of the project, it is ideally suited that they work collaboratively, not independently. Now, I fully understand, this isn't always the case. Editors can be power-mad jerks sometimes. And writers can be sniveling primadonnas who won't remove an extra word (or parentheses g) because they don't want to. I guess I said all that to say this-- it doesn't make sense to me that folks can single-handedly blame Chet Atkins (or insert name of producer here) for any perceived faults in the production of Bobby Bare's (or insert name of artist here) records. Atkins may have acheived a good level of power, but I find it hard to believe he could force "Countrypolitan" down the throat of anyone who did not willingly want to collaborate to some degree. Hey, I'd like to eventually sell a novel, but I won't allow an editor to change my story about an East Tennessee string band into a slasher thriller because he thinks it will sell better. Writers and editors of like mind tend to find each other over time. I just kind of assumed it was the same with artists and producers (i.e, Bare and Atkins). Yes, again, I know that the balance of power in the strange world of music business is not *always* tipped in the favor of the artist, but I just can't swallow the notion that Chet Atkins was some sort of task master telling his galley-slave musicians to play "Countrypolitan" or walk the plank. I am enjoying re-reading this particular thread. I find the relationship between artist and producer to be increasingly fascinating to me.
