Daniel Lanois and Black Dub heading out on an adventure tour this summer. Check out the free song

I'd Rather Go Blind, Black Dub with Trixie Whitley in the studio

Daniel Lanois, who produces for U2 and Dylan, is taking his new band on the road this summer. Lanois is one of the best producers in the business for the past 30 years. He has an artists touch in building music “from pieces of stuff off the floor” as he put it.

“We will be on a double decker bus, playing and driving and filming, and playing and driving and filming, all over Europe this summer.  Stay tuned for Ustreams, Vlog entries, and all things Black Dub.”

The tour was partially designed around fans when Lanois asked who wanted him to perform in their town this year. The list of summer dates is below.

To give his fans something he has free videos and mp3s on his website, plus some stuff you can pay small amounts for.

“I’d Rather Go Blind” is a studio take that you can freely download. Lanois is one of the new age musicians who understand that connecting with fans is more important than wringing every last cent out of them.
