Where Will I Be opened Emmylou Harris's 1995 album Wrecking Ball by abandoning conventional country clarity for Daniel Lanois's cavernous, swamp-lit percussion and ghostly ambient treatments. Here are three tracks exploring that shadowy, rhythmic boundary where traditional songwriting meets hypnotic atmospheric production. Does that heavy, polyrhythmic pulse pull you in most, or are you drawn to the spacious, reverb-drenched vocal atmosphere?
TrackThe architect's blueprint
The Maker
Daniel Lanois
Daniel Lanois wrote and played on Where Will I Be, and his own signature track from Acadie establishes that same rolling dub groove, chiming treated guitar, and sacred, nocturnal atmosphere.
TrackHypnotic dusk
Trampled Rose
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
Producer T Bone Burnett reframed Krauss's ethereal voice against heavy, primitive percussion and Marc Ribot's banjo, capturing an unsettling sonic weight very similar to Harris's work on Wrecking Ball.
TrackBrooding nocturnal folk
Man in the Long Black Coat
Bob Dylan
Made with Lanois and engineer Malcolm Burn in New Orleans, this recording surrounds Dylan's stark acoustic guitar with Brian Eno's cricket tapes, low bass hum, and cavernous space.
