Surprising credits
I was just looking at a CD by the young classical musician Joshua Bell, called Romance of the Violin, and noticed the small print on the back:
Produced by CRAIG LEON AND GRACE ROW
All tracks arranged by CRAIG LEON
Craig Leon produced the debut LPs by The Ramones, Suicide, and The Primitives, the Bangles' first EP, and produced and/or engineered records by Blondie, The Roches, The Sir Douglas Quintet, Jeffrey Lee Pierce, The Beat Farmers, 45 Grave, The Weirdos, The Fall, Rodney Crowell, Moon Martin, Front 242, and many others.*
Now, that's a fairly diverse CV in and of itself, but Joshua Bell??
Seen any names in the small print lately that surprised you?
* Yes, I had a little help there from AllMusic.

no, seriously.
that's more up his alley than Lou Reed, I would think.
How about Lowell George and a couple of the other Little Feat guys playing back up to John Cale on Paris 1919.

As I recall, it was a misprint; Stone printed an article profiling Nanette Workman as the gal in question.
But I may be totally wrong.
Though I'm not.

Steve Winwood's all over it, too, which I find even stranger.
Is he actually credited though?
I know he's on the album but I don't recall seeing his name mentioned in the liner notes.

Not so surprising really.
Looks more like some kind of development (at least from HIS perspective!): He started out as an engineer with the Ramones and Suicide stuff, then went on to (more or less) big productions, and a quick look at his website reveals that he's almost exclusively involved with classical music for the last 10 years.
In the late 90s he produced some rather new-agey albums for his wife Cassell Webb - as well as working with Germany's Phillip Boa & The Voodooclub (who hired him for his "No New York scene"-credentials and were surprised when a mellow elderly Professor-type bloke turned up who was into Stockhausen and Russian composers )

He crops up all over the place though. He's even on Coldplay's X&Y (synths on one track). And Measure for Measure by Icehouse (keyboards, treatments and vocals on most tracks).

Stewart Copeland also played on one Armatrading album ("The key", I think)
I believe members of Genesis played on her song "Drop the Pilot" (maybe just from their touring band?)
