Actually, T Bone Burnett produced DOWNTOWN, with Mitch Easter pitching in on the great "Blues Is King." It was his first album out of the original "power trio" so not quite as sure-footed as the first two records, IMHO, but still great. MJ was produced by Dixon, and yeah, it does sound recorded through saran wrap, which I also attributed to the "CDs sound worse than vinyl" chatter at the time. Swell tunes, though, and they sounded great live; Graham Maby and brother Robert toured with him.

Cuz it was the 80s...
If memory serves, Don Dixon produced Downtown. Did a real nice job I
thought. Mary Jean and Nine Others sounded-- and sounds-- all mushed
together and cheap and plastic to me. I didn't chalk it up to 80s
production at the time; I actually thought it was because it was the first
MC record I bought on CD and that it was a shortcoming of CD technology.
I still love it though.
