The great producer, Jim Dickinson has passed.  While we came to know him from his work on  The Replacements’ Pleased to Meet Me and Big Star’s Third-Sister Lovers, his influence on a vast array of musicians, producers, and record labels cannot be overlooked.  When we compare the demo of The ‘Mats classic “Can’t Hardly Wait” with the final version, you see the musical genius that was Jim Dickinson. 

imageThis Tuesday we will play several recordings and productions from Mr. Dickinson.  Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Rest in Peace, JD.  You deserve it.

Thanks Les Paul!
