Record producer & musician T-Bone Burnett

Studio 360

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.
