This note describes Landau resuming full time work at Rolling Stone after producing Livingston Taylor’s self-titled debut album. “I was working with a guy named Jon Landau… . [Landau] and I had a mutual friend who introduced me to him. I played him a few songs and he said, ‘I want to produce you!’” Taylor recalled. “When I met Jon, he was a kid writing for a paper called Crawdaddy, and he was going down to Macon, Georgia, to do an article on Otis Redding for a new publication called Rolling Stone. And that’s how I got to Capricorn [the record label started by Redding’s manager Phil Walden], with Jon Landau.”
