My guest this week is 5 time Grammy award winning engineer, mixer and producer Sean Sullivan.

Sean has worked with dozens of artists, including Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, The Steeldrivers, The Del McCoury Band, Michael Cleveland, Andrew Marlin, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway and Mighty Poplar.

We chat about his route into recording and how he only came to love string band music when he started working on it. Sean also talks about what he learned in his time at The Butcher Shoppe Studio, owned by John Prine and producer David Ferguson, and his current studio, The Tractor Shed.

We also talk about what's really important in music, Sean's approach to working with artists and why, sometimes, the best sounding records just aren't the best records.
