(Finished October 20th, 2017) The Magic of Mutt, Part 1: Songs Written, Co-Written Or Engineered by Mutt Lange

Hello,

This blog is about Robert John "Mutt" Lange. It's inspired by a sentence from the first issue of Planet Rock magazine. (To answer your question, no there can't be too many rock magazines.) This sentence comes from a story about the 30th anniversary of "Pyromania": "He'd (Lange) been working virtually non-stop since 1978 on a succession of hit albums, including AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" and "Back In Black", Foreigner's "4", the first two Def Leppard CDs and most recently The Cars "Heartbeat City". (Thanks to Planet Rock magazine!)

Along with those bands Lange has also worked with Bryan Adams, The Coors, Billy Ocean, Romeo's Daughter, Lady Gaga, Loverboy, Heart, Muse and Maroon Five. He's obviously known for the CDs he helped create that are listed in the top paragraph. The other thing he's known for is helping write the songs and producing the music of Shania Twain. He then later married Miss Twain, one of the most beautiful women that has ever graced the world.

Was everyone that Lange worked with great? These are some of the other bands that Lange worked with include such who the hell are you bands as Clover, City Boy, Supercharge, Mallard, The Rumor, Broken Home, Tycoon and for some reason he worked with Michael Bolton.

This blog will be broken into two parts. Part 1 are songs written, co-written or engineered by Lange. Part 2 I'll be focusing more on the albums that he served as engineer on. Let's get on with the blog. These are some, but not all, of the songs that Lange has worked on through the years. (Thanks to Wikipedia for doing a lot of the legwork for this blog and I'm sure dozens like it.)
