Tony Visconti has been described as one of the most important producers in the history of rock. Contributing to the creation of iconic records such as “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” and “Cosmic Dancer” by T. Rex, David Bowie’s “Young Americans,” “Heroes,” and “The Man Who Sold The World,” The Moody Blues’ “Your Wildest Dreams” and “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere,” along with many more, have secured his place in Rock ‘n Roll history.
He’s just released Produced by Tony Visconti, a new multi-disc box set available on CD and vinyl that spans the producer’s six decades and features famous material from David Bowie, T.Rex, U2, Joe Cocker and many more, alongside lesser-known gems from the likes of The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Thin Lizzy, The Radiators, Zaine Griff, Gentle Giant, Manic Street Preachers and more from Tony’s fifty-plus years of production credits.
Tony’s currently in the studio with Rogue Oliphant feat. renowned Irish poet/lyricist Paul Muldoon, Chris Harford (guitar), Ray Kubian (drums), David Mansfield (guitar), Cait O’Riordan (bass), and Warren Zanes (guitar). Recently, Tony remixed music for the David Bowie film Moonage Daydream, produced the new Paul Simonon (The Clash) feat. Galen Ayres album entitled Can We Do Tomorrow Another Day?, mixed new music by Kris Singh, mixed the David Bowie 50th Anniversary Space Oddity album in Dolby Atmos, arranged and conducted strings for Kelly Reilly‘s “Happiness Lasts,” as well as produced the new Daphne Guinness album.
Tony’s autobiography, Bowie, Bolan, and the Brooklyn Boy (Harper Collins UK) is an evocative, brilliant overview of Visconti’s life, musical beginnings, and adventures in London with David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Thin Lizzy, Paul McCartney, and so much more.
