and get it released. Without Rachel, the
world would never have heard Hal's
great final record.
In the liner notes of AngelHeaded
Hipster, Hal wrote: " Special kudos
to Rachel Fox, who, once again, went far
beyond the call of duty to manage this
production. " Far beyond, in this case meant
booking studios, musicians, instrument
rentals, cartage, hotels, and flights. It
meant making sure that all the lawyers got
their contracts so that the artists would be
compensated. With artists of this caliber,
that meant months of negotiations, phone
calls and emails. For example, when we
did the U2 session in New Orleans, Rachel
arranged everything to accommodate their
vast team and the entourage traveling with
the band. Because Rachel was always
working in the background, I have few
pictures of us together, but I cherish this
memory and picture of Hal, Rachel, and
myself eating beignets at Cafe Du Monde
in New Orleans after that very session.
A great supporting cast
Last but not least, in addition to the 150+
musicians involved in the record, many
other people were working in the background
too: such as Kate Hyman, Alistair
Norbury, Hartwig Masuch, Jason Hradil
and the whole BMG team, Bill Curbishley,
Ethan Silverman, and Marc Bolan's son
Rolan Bolan.
In my parting words, I also want to acknowledge
and thank RECORDING Magazine's
editor-in-chief Paul Vnuk Jr., whose
idea it was to invite me to write this Session
Log column for a whole year. [Thank
you, Marc, and we will see you back in
2022 for more Session Logs! -Ed.]
Thank you for being with us throughout
the past twelve months, and as Hal
would say: " I'll be seeing you! "
Postscript
AngelHeaded Hipster has been nominated
in the Rock Album category at the
2022 64th Grammy Awards. It saddens
me that Hal Willner did not live to see
the success and appreciation for his
work, but I encourage everyone to check
out the album online or on CD or vinyl,
and to learn about Hal Willner's life and
legacy at haltribute.com
