Hola,

I've been digging the Rick Rubin Johnny Cash discs, and decided to toss out a question:

If you could pick an artist or artists to make albums with Rick Rubin, who would you pick?

In the country/alt country vein, I'd pick...

Male: Randy Travis, Lyle Lovett, and John Prine.

Female: Loretta Lynn, Linda Ronstadt, and Shelby Lynne.

In the realm of rock, I'd go...

Male: Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, and Marshall Crenshaw.

Female: Joni Mitchell, Ani DiFranco, and and Hope Sandoval.

Pardon me for skewing old, but he seems to do his best work with artists who need a shot of fresh creative blood.
