Making It

Roger Moutenot has made records with so many of our favorite artists—from legends like Lou Reed and Elvis Costello to indie stalwarts like Yo La Tengo, to newer favorites like Black Lips, Tennis, and JEFF the Brotherhood. He even recorded the Gipsy Kings' cover of "Hotel California" used in that iconic scene in The Big Lebowski. He has too many credits like this to count. We were lucky enough to sit down with him at his studio in Nashville and talk about recording, the magic of analog tape, and seeing Talking Heads and Television at CBGB.
