Q&A Discussion topic

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone would like to discuss the following answer from Keith Olsen's Q&A. Actually, I'm going to quote the question and answer (if that's okay).

Hi Keith. Thanks so much for doing this. My question is, what do you think of Lindsey as a producer? I know he only produces his own stuff, but he has a very unique sound as far as what he does with his voice, instruments, etc. I am a major fan of Lindsey and his solo work (I'm SO anxious to hear his new album) so I'm curious as to what you think. Thanks! (Sonia, Boston, Massachusetts, USA)

There has to be separation between artist and producer to be able to be objective. I would think that if Lindsey would have worked closely with a top name producer, than the "what if's" would have been minimized and projects would have been done sooner.

I'd like to get some feedback from everyone about this. I just thought it was an interesting observation. I remember Lindsey saying in one of his technical interviews that he tends to get bogged down in the little details and that Richard Dashut helps him to cut through all of that. In other words, he helps him to see the big picture. I don't have the exact quote, but I'm sure someone will come up with it at some point during this discussion.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Lindsey isn't totally alone when it comes to producing his own work. So, how can he lose his objectivity?
