I found a Reference Recording at 176.4kHz that just had me spellbound. Doug Macleod, There is a Time. From the RR catalog… “‘Prof.’ Keith Johnson’s first blues recording! 13 new MacLeod originals highlight this richly detailed recording, done at Skywalker Sound in Marin County, CA. by our Grammy® winning engineer.
Also featuring Doug’s longtime bassist Denny Croy and Jimi Bott, one of the most recorded, awarded and respected blues drummers in the world. Doug says: “Making this album was different than any other one I’ve done in the past,” recalls MacLeod about the sessions. “They put Jimi, Denny, and me on this huge soundstage at Skywalker Sound in Marin County and we sat around in a circle where we could see each other. We played live, no overdubs, just three guys playing some music together.”
This is a fabulous recording. This is so real it is scary. Kudos to RR but the SE-i just brings it all right there in front of me. Just another time warp journey to the studio where this we recorded and I shape-shifted into the mike stand in front of Doug. Every track is incredible but “The Night of the Devil’s Road” had me looking for a winter coat.
