One of the reason why i started with music production has now left us. He's done so many damn good albums over the years and to me one of the top 3. He has produced 7 out of 10 on my top album list so clearly a big influence for me, both for music and production..

R.I.P Keith

 

The dude had a unmistaken ear for what can make a song successful. I had been watching since childhood how he turned all those songs to hits, producing was his calling and he had a unique gift in spotting talent.
Rest in peace.

 

RIP

I've been listening a lot these last few daze to a few Grateful Dead studio albums but usually only listen to live concert stuff, but the version of Estimated Prophet on Terrapin Station is really good and Keith Olsen was the reason so. He was both a musician and a great producer and could get some great stuff out of a band that was at best claustrophobic in the studio (although Blues For Allah is mostly brilliant). His work with Fleetwood Mac will stand the test of time as a reference to the high point of the analog recording Era.

 

Oh, what sad news today. Haven't spoken with Keith in a couple of years. Really good person and phenomenal talent. Will be sadly missed.
