Daniel Lanois Signs Extensive Licensing Deal With Warner Records

Under the deal, which covers solo and collaborative albums, 12 of the star Canadian producer and artist's catalogue titles have become available via streaming partners, including his gold-selling 1989 solo debut Acadie.

Acclaimed record producer, singer, songwriter and musician Daniel Lanois has signed an extensive and career-spanning licensing deal with Warner Records in the U.S.

The new deal sees 12 of the Canadian artist's catalogue titles now become available via streaming partners, and it marks the return of Lanois to the Warner Records roster. His lavishly praised 1989 solo debut, Acadie, was released via Opal/Warner Bros in 1989, and it remains his most popular solo work, certified Gold by Music Canada in 1991. A second solo album, 1993's For The Beauty of Wynona, also came out on Warner.
