Renowned as a studio maven with a Midas touch, Burnett is known for lifting artists to their greatest heights, as he did with \u003ci\u003eRaising Sand\u003c\/i\u003e, the multiple Grammy Award-winning album by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, as well as acclaimed albums by Los Lobos, the Wallflowers, B. B. King, and Elvis Costello. Burnett virtually invented \"Americana\" with his hugely successful roots-based soundtrack for the Coen Brothers film, \u003ci\u003eO Brother, Where Art Thou?\u003c\/i\u003e Outspoken in his contempt for the entertainment industry, Burnett has nevertheless received many of its highest honors, including Grammy Awards and an Academy Award. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eT Bone Burnett\u003c\/i\u003e offers the first critical appreciation of Burnett's wide-ranging contributions to American music, his passionate advocacy for analog sound, and the striking contradictions that define his maverick artistry. Lloyd Sachs highlights all the important aspects of Burnett's musical pursuits, from his early days as a member of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue and his collaboration with the playwright Sam Shepard to the music he recently composed for the TV shows \u003ci\u003eNashville\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTrue Detective\u003c\/i\u003e and his production of the all-star album \u003ci\u003eLost on the River: The New Basement Tapes\u003c\/i\u003e. Sachs also underscores Burnett's brilliance as a singer-songwriter in his own right. Going well beyond the labels \"legendary\" or \"visionary\" that usually accompany his name, \u003ci\u003eT Bone Burnett\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how this consummate music maker has exerted a powerful influence on American music and culture across four decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA nationally known voice on popular culture, Sachs has written about pop music and jazz for many publications, including \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDownBeat\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJazzTimes\u003c\/i\u003e.
