Steve Mandel (part two)
In this second part of my conversation with producer and engineer, Steve Mandel, we chat about Wise Up Ghost, the album he created with Elvis Costello and The Roots. The record was released to critical acclaim in September 2013. It was produced by Costello, Questlove and Mandel, with Steve credited as a songwriter on all but one of the dozen tracks. In this episode, Steve talks us through Wise Up Ghost track-by-track. Check out the first part of our conversation to hear how Steve became a Costello fan, their first encounters and some of his favourite EC songs.
