Jim Kaufman (music producer)

Episode 92 - Music Producer Jim Kaufman! Jim is a brilliant producer and I became a fan of his through his work with the bands The Black Moods and Them Evils.  I quickly found he has done so much more throughout his career. He started his production career working under the legendary Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) on a Helmet record and the score for the first Saw movie.  He quickly started producing his own records including Danny Worsnop (Asking Alexandria), Night Riots, Moon Fever and many more. Did I mention he also works with Dee Snider of Twisted Sister? This was a great conversation of all things music and amazing opportunity to pick the brain of one of the best producers out there!
