TEC Awards Hall of Fame Inductee T Bone Burnett
The TEC Awards Hall
of Fame was created in 1988 to recognize
those individuals, living or deceased, whose
careers have best exemplified the spirit
of creative and technical excellence in
professional audio.
Joseph Henry ‘T Bone’ Burnett was raised in Texas where he developed a love of a wide range of American music. He first came to prominence in the early 1970s, playing guitar and piano on Bob Dylan’s fabled Rolling Thunder Revue. In the 1980s and 1990s Burnett pursued parallel careers as a performer and producer, releasing several solo albums as well as helming dozens of records, including those by Elvis Costello, Roy Orbison, The Wallflowers, Counting Crows, Los Lobos and Gillian Welch.
His first major foray into film work was for the Coen Brothers’ The Big Lebowski, serving as musical archivist, which led to his groundbreaking work on the soundtrack to the Coens’ O Brother, Where Art Thou?, for which he earned multiple Grammy Awards, including “Album of the Year” and “Producer of the Year.” In recent years, Burnett has devoted time to his own albums–including the critically acclaimed The True False Identity in 2005 and this year’s Tooth of Crime–as well as to important film and music productions.
He was nominated for an Academy Award, along with Elvis Costello, for writing “Scarlet Tide” for the Oscar-winning Cold Mountain and won another Grammy for his work as Executive Music Producer on the soundtrack to the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk The Line. The Robert Plant and Alison Krauss collaboration, Raising Sand, is high on a list of Burnett’s recent production credits that also includes John Mellencamp’s Life, Death, Love and Freedom, which marks the debut of the high-resolution ΧΟΔΕ Audio standard, developed by T Bone and his team at Code Resonance. Other recent productions include Wonderful World, a tribute to the music of Louis Armstrong, by Tony Bennett and k.d. Lang, and new albums from B.B. King and Robert Randolph.
