Since the early '80s, Mitchell Froom has earned the distinction of being a producer of uncommon sensitivity and musical integrity. His track record includes a list of critically and (in many cases) commercially successful artists like Los Lobos, Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson, Suzanne Vega, Crowded House, Del Fuegos, the Pretenders, Paul McCartney, Tim Finn, American Music Club, and others. Many of these artists have done more than one album with Froom, a testament to his ability to make the recording experience a positive one.
Froom also has enjoyed a long-term professional relationship with engineer/production co-conspirator Tchad Blake. The two have worked together for the last eight years.
Among Froom's latest productions are Thompson's Mirror Blue and Costello's Brutal Youth. The Costello album, which was cut at Olympic Studio in London, is notable for reuniting the artist with his legendary original band, the Attractions. It's possibly his best album since arriving at Warner Bros. five years ago. The title certainly conveys the raw energy of the band's chemistry on some of the tracks.
