Suzanne Vega, Beauty & Crime
Engineers: Tchad Blake, Cameron Craig, Emery Dobyns and Jimmy Hogarth
Suzanne Vega, who had not a put out a studio album for six years when Beauty & Crime was released, is no stranger to innovative sonics. Though generally considered a folkish singer/songwriter on the basis of her early work, she’s never shied from experimentation in the studio. Indeed, she was married for a period to iconoclastic producer Mitchell Froom, and cut a pair of albums with Froom’s former partner-in-studio-eccentricity, engineer Tchad Blake. Though the Froom/Vega union did not last, the association with Blake has, and he is credited as the mixer on this eclectic album filled with meditations on Vega’s home city of New York and on some of her idols and influences. Blake, who now lives in England, has had a long and fascinating career, working with everyone from Los Lobos (multiple albums) to Elvis Costello and from Sheryl Crow to Pearl Jam. Jimmy Hogarth produced Beauty & Crime, and also helped engineer (and played guitar). He’s worked with a host of interesting folks in recent years, including Amy Winehouse, Sia, James Blunt, Corinne Bailey Rae and James Morrison. Cameron Craig’s engineering credits includes acts such as Sasha, Sia, UNKLE and The Hours. And Emery Dobyns has engineered for Patti Smith, Battles, Travis and Edison Woods, among others.
