Legendary Recording Engineer Roy Halee Talks About the Making of Paul Simon's "Stranger To Stranger" Album
Stranger to Stranger Paul Simon's most recent record and his finest in years, both musically and sonically had him reuniting with his original producer Roy Halee. The two hadn't worked together for many years.
I first interviewed Roy Halee decades ago when I was writing for The Absolute Sound. We became friends and so when Stranger to Stranger was released I asked Roy if I could interview him about the project and he was happy to talk about it.
But one thing or another got in the way for both of us (including Roy commuting to Connecticut to work with Paul on his next record) and so the interview did not happen until this past week It was a "phoner", so please excuse the sound quality. I think you'll enjoy listening.
