David Axelrod - Song Of Innocence
Axelrod began his career in the early 60’s as a producer for Capitol Records working with artists such as Cannonball Adderley, Lou Rawls, David McCallum, and the Electric Prunes. From 1968-1980 he released 9 solo albums, but became depressed when they weren’t met with the recognition or financial success he thought they deserved.
It wasn’t until 1996 when DJ Shadow released his trip-hop classic Endtroducing that he was rediscovered among a new generation of DJs and producers. Shadow’s powerful track “Midnight in a Perfect World” features a sample from Axelrod’s song “The Human Abstract” off his 1969 album Songs of Experience that made beat miners’ heads spin. Since then, nearly all of his records have been re-released and David Axelrod is finally getting the recognition and cash he deserves.
Today the list of Axelrod sampling artists inclues: Dr. Dre, Lauryn Hill, Jurassic 5, Eminem, Mos Def, Common, Pete Rock, Acelayone and Lil’ Wayne–who looped Axelrod’s “Holy Thursday” for the most creative cut on his Carter III album, “Dr. Carter.”by youstru
