He walks us through his amazing career in the Memphis music scene and how he wound up working with T-Bone Burnett, Bob Dylan and became one of the worlds most sought after lacquer cutters and vinyl mastering engineers. Jeff Powell has been recording, mixing and producing records for more than 30 years – working with a who’s who of musical legends, from Bob Dylan and B.B. King to Glyn Johns and Eddie Kramer. Powell served as staff assistant engineer, then engineer/mixer and finally producer at Memphis’ legendary Ardent Studios from ’89-’97. He has been working independently since then, and now makes his home base at Sam Phillips Recording Service.
