Under the Hood of Morrissey’s ‘World Peace...’ With Producer Joe Chiccarelli - Radio.com

I'm surprised he ate breakfast with everyone and was in the studio all day.

I thought the music was laid down and he would emerge in the morning to do the vocals.
 
Thank you very much for sharing this, it's really interesting.

The production is just so damned good on this, really outshines YoR and even RotT in my opinion —*so I'm glad Joe C. is getting the chance to talk about it. This piece really paints Moz in the light that makes him who he is: he knows what he wants, and that's why the end result is always a cut above the rest, even if it may not always chalk up to what he's done in the past.
 
I would love to have heard the story behind how the new swing intro for "Art-Hounds" came about. Tracking that must have been crazy cool.
 
I've been waiting to see the acknowledgements to find who played the Spanish guitar through this album (check out 4.40 onward on staircase) I've never heard Boz do anything like, and Jessie unlikely, could be a guest slot, but guess what? the keyboard player Gustavo? Class act.

[EDITED because I'm a nit-wit who can't read or remember anything...]

One of my favorite parts of the albums, by the way.

I was wondering the same. There's no guest credit in the booklet, so I guess my money is on Boz?? I would've assumed they'd brought in a Flamenco guitarist to do that.

It is credited in the booklet though, isn't it? For Gustavo.
He's played flamenco-style guitar live before for Morrissey — particularly in "When Last I Spoke to Carol" and "Paris."
 
thanks for replying as i hadnt looked at the credist yet (only had it for about an hour now) and for whatever reason misread some above post to say there was no credit. thanks again for the clarification.

He is? I'm sorry, for some reason I didn't see it when I was looking for a credit! Thanks, mcrickson…I'll stop trying to use my short-term memory now. :p

(Sorry for the confusion, anon—my fault!)

So this means that Morrissey's lead guitarist is the third best guitarist in Morrissey's band. Assuming he is better than either of the Walkers. And Morrissey.
 
This was an excellent read... Sounds like there's a lot of respect for Morrissey there. Let's hope this guy is at the helm for the second Harvest album (if there is one)

No, it means that not all guitarists—regardless of their skill level—can play Flamenco-style guitar.
 
Thanks for posting this, I'm intrigued by Chiccarelli's original "rock" version of The Bullfighter Dies. The finished cut is indeed trite, and the main disappointment on the album for me.
