Max Norman

Okay.

Plus mixing by famed 80s producer Max Norman, who worked with Ozzy and Megadeth.

Okay, that's a good one right there, Max Norman.

Wow, okay, Doro Pesh, huh? Yeah.

Of Warlock.

And look at the team she assembled.

The record is produced by guitarist Gary Hoey, who also plays on it, with drummer Bobby Rock behind the kit, and it is mixed by Max Norman.

If you know rock history, that name lands hard.

Max Norman is the engineer and mixer behind some of the most iconic heavy records ever made.

This is not a casual comeback.

This is a precision-built rock machine.

My name is Mikey Navina, and thanks for hanging out with me today.

Today, my guest is Neal Cappellino, and if you're not familiar with him, he is a six time Grammy winning mixing engineer, recording engineer, producer.

He's based out of Nashville, where he runs a studio called The Dog House, and he's worked with artists such as Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, and a whole bunch more.

And in today's chat, we cover a lot of really big topics.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I have fond memories of Dolly working with her, with producer Steve Buckingham.

And that began my stay at the doghouse on and off.

So the verse for Broken Down Blues was what we really were kind of digging into in the beginning, kind of getting a little bit of a...

A Bon Scott-y vibe, which came also actually a little more as we spoke with our producer, Max Norman, who worked on this with us on this one.

And I feel that Bon Scott approach, too, to delivering songs from you.

There's definitely some kind of an inspiration that comes from the master.

[clears throat] I'm trying not to cough.

The personnel: Ozzy, of course, Brad Gillis, guitars, Rudy Sarzo, bass, Tommy Aldridge, drums, the great Don Airey on keyboards, and produced by Max Norman.

Uh, let's see.

Huh.
