Don Dixon (born December 13, 1950)〔(Biography )〕 is a record producer, songwriter, musician, bass guitarist, and very occasional actor. He is originally from South Carolina. ==Biography== Don Dixon was born on December 13, 1950 in Lancaster, South Carolina. His college roommate was the writer Bruce Brooks. Dixon is considered to be one of the key producers of what is called the jangle pop movement of the early 1980s. He spent thirteen years as a member of North Carolina cult heroes Arrogance. Around 1983, Dixon attracted attention by co-producing with Mitch Easter, R.E.M.'s landmark debut LP ''Murmur'' and in 1984 R.E.M.'s follow-up LP ''Reckoning'', also with Mitch Easter (both credited in the ''Reckoning'' liner notes as "Machinists"). He then spent several years producing the work of varied artists including Chris Stamey (formerly of The dB's), The Smithereens, Fetchin Bones〔(Fetchin' Bones Album Reviews )〕 and Richard Barone. Considered to be a highlight of this period was Tommy Keene's ''Run Now'' EP. This success led to Dixon recording his solo debut ''Most of the Girls Like to Dance But Only Some of the Boys Like To'', a further affirmation of his love of classic pop melodies and spiky, Nick Lowe-inspired word play. A book of his song lyrics, ''Songs 101: the Lyrics of Don Dixon'' was released in 2009 by VanZeno press.〔(Songs101: The Lyrics of Don Dixon ), VanZeno Press〕 Dixon is married to the singer/artist Marti Jones. In 2006, Dixon released his first new album in six years, ''The Entire Combustible World in One Small Room.'' In 2008, Dixon released an album with his bandmates of 20 years, Jamie Hoover of The Spongetones, and Jim Brock. Dubbing the band THE JUMP RABBITS, the collection is called ''The Nu-Look''. Although Dixon and wife, Marti Jones, have collaborated on each other's albums for years; in 2011 they released the first true Jones/Dixon album. Entitled ''Living Stereo'', it is a collection of duets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Dixon (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
