Biography
Rhett Davies (born 1949) is an English record producer and engineer. Davies' father was the trumpet player Ray Davies. Davies became a studio engineer at Island Records in the early 1970s. One of his first recording sessions was for Brian Eno's 1974 album Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy). Davies and Eno worked together on several subsequent projects and made innovations in studio recording techniques, especially regarding tape loops and drum machines. He produced for many artists of the 1970s and 1980s, and largely retired from production work in the 1990s, although he worked with Bryan Ferry on albums from 1999 to 2018 (As Time Goes By, Dylanesque, Olympia, Avonmore and Bitter-Sweet).
