^^Yes ... great album too, with quite a diverse and interesting personnel lineup.
Joseph Henry "T Bone" Burnett III was born on this day in 1948. Legendary (and by all accounts extremely well respected) producer, musician and songwriter. He has said he came by his nickname ‘honestly’ at around the age of five, but that his memory of the exact origin is scanty. Not one to step into the spotlight much himself, and not that keen on live performance, he’s released twelve solo albums during the course of his lengthy career and contributed his musical talents to many others; he sings, plays guitar mainly, and some keys, and also arranges.
Artists for whom he’s produced include: Elvis Costello, Elton John and Leon Russell, Counting Crows, Delbert McClinton, Maria Muldaur, Leo Kottke, Los Lobos, Marshall Crenshaw, Peter Case, Roy Orbison, the BoDeans, Bruce Cockburn and his wife Leslie ‘Sam’ Phillips. In addition he has produced movie and TV soundtracks, winning a Grammy for O Brother, Where Art Thou?

This is from his The Criminal Under My Own Hat, which is a fairly intriguing title, IMHO …
