Popular music’s most enigmatic production genius, Rick Rubin has a seemingly magic touch with anything he puts his hand to, making for equally fascinating recordings this year with metal monsters Metallica and pop vocal stylist Neil Diamond, as well as more contemporary, song-driven artists Jakob Dylan, Weezer and Ours. Rubin continues to be revered for his early fusion of rap and rock with the Beastie Boys and others, but he is also treasured for his ability to reinvent the careers of artists such as the late Johnny Cash and Diamond, whose latest is the artist's most authentic album of a 50-plus-year career. Read a full-length interview with Rubin.
