TJ Doherty


Recommended Posts

This guy seems to be Wilco's house engineer, and with good reason! Does anyone have any info on him? He engineered Sky Blue Sky and Born Again in the USA, as well as the latest Sonic Youth and Malkmus records.

 

I've always listened to Born Again in the USA as a little bit of a companion to Sky Blue Sky, even though it's decidedly more rocking and loose (no pun intended). I'm starting to realize the similarities I'm hearing might be the TJ magic. He gets such a clean guitar signal. Really nice and crisp sounding. I even hear it on the Sonic Youth.

 

Not that Jeff and the boys aren't geniuses in their own right, but I think some of the love on the whole "vibeyness" of Sky Blue Sky ought to be thrown TJ's way. Let's hear it for TJ, man!

I know TJ had a pretty serious health scare recently. Glad to hear that he's doing better!

 

He said he got a full body infection and almost died after working in a studio that was so filthy there was semi-unidentified bodily fluid/goo on the walls which had never been cleaned up.

Where can I find this magazine? I went to Borders/Barnes and Noble. Is it usually stocked in record stores?

You're correct, but those usually take several weeks. I may still do that, but I'm looking for a hard copy before I leave for vacation and forget about everything.

 

If I still have my copy I'll mail it to you. Let me make sure I still have it, then I can get your address.

Thanks, I'd appreciate it. If you don't have it, I'll continue looking around for it. I'm sure someplace has it.
