Work with Neil Young

His relationship with Neil Young started in 1983, when he and David Briggs, Young's longtime producer, were working on Trans remixes. Hanlon joined Briggs again in 1990, engineering and mixing Neil Young and Crazy Horse's album Ragged Glory. He has been working with Young ever since.

Recording Style

In an October 2012 interview with Mix magazine, John Hanlon described his recording style:

"To me, some of the greatest records are the ones done with the fewest amount of microphones. The sound I like is orchestral. A classical engineer reading this might cringe, but I approach Neil Young and Crazy Horse orchestrally."[4]
