Daniel Lanois (born September 19, 1951 in Hull, québec) is a canadian record producer and singer-songwriter. He has produced albums for a wide variety of artists and released a number of albums of his own work. Artists he has worked with include Bob Dylan, U2, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Robbie Robertson, Chris Whitley, Ron Sexsmith and Nash the Slash.

He started his production career working in his own studio, Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, Ontario. He worked with a number of local bands, most notably Martha and the Muffins, for whom his sister Jocelyne played bass, Ray Materick, as well as the Canadian children’s singer Raffi.

After being discovered by Brian Eno and working collaboratively with him on some of Eno’s own projects, his career was given a huge boost when Eno invited him to co-produce U2’s album The Unforgettable Fire. Along with Eno, he went on to produce U2’s The Joshua Tree, the 1987 Grammy Winner for Album of the Year. Bono of U2 recommended Lanois to Bob Dylan in the late 1980s; in 1989 Lanois produced Dylan’s Oh Mercy, widely considered one of Dylan’s greatest later albums. Eight years later Dylan and Lanois worked together on Time Out of Mind, Dylan’s first studio album of original material since 1990, which won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1997.

White Mustang II at the background of really sad and deep scene of The Sopranos is totally awsome.

He is truly a inspirational wind that is flying through the studio when I make and producing music. You can hear his heart in all of his tracks, beating and make the music going to another dimension, as if it was magic...

I love Daniel Lanois' genius behind the mixing board and guitar. He has been a great influence on me as a songwriter. I have a couple songs you may want to download for free at: http://www.last.fm/music/F.+Kleijn/Sweetness

Hello from Cicely, Alaska! Former Mayor and "The Brick" owner, Holling Vincoeur invites you drop by and play Daniel Lanois on the jukebox. Drop by the "Northern Exposure" group when you're between Tedium and Apathy and you catch KBHR's "Chris in the Morning" show, boucing off the Ionosphere.
