Dave Cobb’s Career Producing Jason Isbell and Brandi Carlile | Broken Record Podcast Interview

Over the past 15 years, Nashville super-producer Dave Cobb has managed to inject some much-needed soul into country music. 

Dave Cobb has earned six Grammys for his standout work with artists like Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile, and Chris Stapleton.

And as you’ll hear today, Dave pulls inspiration from sources not normally associated with country music. Dave worshipped Ozzy Osbourne as a kid, despite growing up in a devout Pentecostal family. And in the early ‘90s, he cut his teeth as a session guitarist in Atlanta working with hip-hop and R&B producers Jermaine Dupri and Dallas Austin.

Rick Rubin and Dave Cobb connected recently to talk about Dave’s unconventional path to becoming a country music producer, the power of being an outsider, and the value of goofing around in the studio.
