Record producers are not often household names, but T-Bone Burnett comes close.

He's a legendary music producer who's crafted records by with KD Lang, Counting Crows, and Emmylou Harris; his first gig was playing guitar for Bob Dylan.

Burnett also helmed the multi-platinum soundtrack for the "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" film by the Cohen Brothers. But Burnett's latest record, "Tooth of Crime," is one of his own. He tells Kurt what went into making the album, based on a Sam Shepard play about a post-apocalyptic battle of the bands.

Hear a track, "Telepresence (Make the Metal Scream)," from T-Bone Burnett's "Tooth of Crime" (Nonesuch).
