Yep he’s been very innovative for many years. I remember at the time of his pairing with Shania, Nashville being aghast that a rock producer was infiltrating their turf. Turned out to be pretty lucrative for her (and him), and if I’m being honest, I did like those songs at the time. And she’s, of course, drop dead gorgeous. But the (music) magic was a little too lightning-in-a-bottle to be a long term thing, seems to me.
