Rolling Stone recently toured producer Mark Ronson's SoHo studio, which looks just like a neatly organized New York office until you find your way into a back room stocked with recording equipment, old records and a huge recording booth. The purpose of this visit to Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen’s producer’s abode: To get the “LDNâ€� on his latest remix — the controversial one that’s been both highly praised and sharply criticized (and he’s only released thirty seconds of it online so far): Bob Dylan's “Most Likely You'll Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine).â€�
“The two approvals I've lost sleep over were Morrissey's for my ‘Stop Me’ cover and definitely the Dylan approval for this remix,” Ronson told us. “I'm under no illusions that it’s better than the original. It's just another approach to that song. There’s gonna be people who cry sacrilege.”
Read the full story to find out which rock stars make the remix master cry, how he selected the Dylan track and what artists inspired his “soulful Southern Memphis-style funk arrangement.”
