The cicadas were SO LOUD the day we recorded this in the woods behind Joe Thompson's house.

A little context around the amazing record we made last year at some very powerful places around North Carolina. Such an honor to travel with Justin and Rhiannon and capture these special moments in these historic locations. Recorded and co-produced by yours truly and mixed right here at Studio808A!

So I just upgraded my computer and a bunch of software that I've been using over the years. One of the plug-in updates included a new AI feature. I tried the AI master assistant on 3 records... a jug band record, and old-time stringband trio, and a solo acoustic guitar project. I'm delighted to report that it sounded terrible on all 3, and remind you that I am here to do low impact natural sounding mastering on your trad and trad adjacent records. I am a human, and have spent my life listening to and studying this music and the art of recording and presenting it. Give me a shout if you want a balanced, natural, non squashed medium volume master for your recordings for digital, vinyl, or cassette release!
