This week we're putting The Tonearm's needle on famed record producer Bob Ezrin.

Bob has worked with artists including Pink Floyd, KISS, Deep Purple, and countless others, though he is best known for his nearly 60-year relationship with Alice Cooper.

He's back working with The Jayhawks on their latest, Sanctuary Park, twenty-six years after their first project together.

We talk about how the reunion started with an offhand remark from Gary Louris, both men leaving the United States for Canada around the same time, and we talk a lot about the craft of record production.

(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are The Jayhawks - \"What Led Me To This Town\" and \"Mr. Lincoln,\" Alice Cooper - \"I'm Eighteen,\" and Tim Curry - \"Sloe Gin\")
