To me its sounds like the treble is wound up and the midrange is missing. An unbalanced sound from a top notch producer? 

My ears are getting older along with the rest of me but generally  it seems the bass end is being lost and treble accentuated for me, which is the opposite of what is expected with normal hearing attenuation with age. 
I often comment on the breathiness of singers for this reason. Earlier recordings seem to be much more balanced. I guess it is a production trend that has left me behind, alas. Maybe the current generation has damaged its hearing more than I have mine (I was never a great loud headphone/plug listener, unlike those I could hear across the train carriage).

Yeah - the drums have this sutble 'goodness' about them. just different enough to be noticeable, but not overwhelming.

He's emphasizing the 2nd beat looking at this in 4/4 time. Gives it that (literally) offbeat feeling. The vocals emphasize the first beat so it's almost two time signatures. That is a bit of challenge to sing. Try listening to the drums and counting time then switch to listening to the vocals and you can see... it makes it a lot more interesting.

I think Daniel Lanois and Emmylou Harris complement each other beautifully in this piece. "Where will I be when that trumpet sounds?" The combination of voice and guitar create the sound of a trumpet's song heralding the morning or perhaps, more fittingly, the evening.

Interesting. How do you know when an artist sound like they ..sound? Is that the case when an artist does the recording and production on their own? As regards Lanois and other producers with a distinctive musical signature - why hire such a talent if you want something documented first and foremost, if you're not interested in what they can offer?

Yes, sounds very much like early U2 with Emmy on vocals. Even her singing sounds a bit like Bono's style. So........ is this original Emmy or processed Emmy? Well, maybe she likes how she sounds here? To me, this makes her song more likable - I'm really not into her, but this somehow clicks with me. Quite possibly because I love U2 from their Lanois years.

Right, it's a certain Lanois product technique that uses a slight delay to the drumming which makes it sound as if there are two drummers just a tad bit out of synch. It fleshes out the sound and adds a bit of mystery to the sound of the drums.
