Frequent commenter Dana named Don Dixon’s ‘Renaissance Eyes’ as one of his favorite songs. This one is new to me, as is the idea of Don Dixon as a recording artist.
I know Dixon best as the producer of R.E.M.’s first two albums, Murmur and Reckoning, as well as The Smithereens’ debut album, Especially For You. In the mid-80s, Dixon was the go-to producer for alternative acts pioneering the jangle pop sound.
