Hey Hey! Here's a brand new thing for ya! LIVE at the El Cortez Theatre's "Mud Club Sessions", Taos New Mexico.

This beautiful adobe building was originally a convent from the 1800s, later becoming a funky funky one screen movie theater, and then, for decades, was the live/work space of celluloid hero Dennis Hopper. My friends J Michelle Martin and Johnny la Rocha have lovingly developed it into a multi use facility of recording, performance, and film screening, and have graciously opened the doors of this magical space to many local and visiting artists.

So here I am "exploring the space" of the theater. Being on tour then with Noelle & the Deserters, I had time enough for exactly two takes of something, I chose to play an old favorite, Spaceship Orion by the The Ozark Mountain Daredevils and I chose to do it with my favorite electric guitar through the El Cortez's spinning Leslie speaker cabinet. A looper pedal I had extremely little experience using allowed for the outer space guitar solo. Evidently it was a windy, bad allergy day for me because hair flyaways and an obvious tissue in my front pocket are on full display. It's real, I dig it.

Thanks to all at the El Cortez. I hope you enjoy. -JB

These cassettes are handmade to order here at Mountain Sounds Recorders using a Recording The Masters cassette tape formula derived from the legendary BASF SM900 professional reel to reel tape. This is the very same tape used during the mixing process for Meadow Rock album. Recording The Masters, who are based in France, have acquired the rights and tooling to beautifully manufacture the old BASF tape formulas, and in addition to reissuing SM900 formula, they have also developed this new and special cassette tape formula. I think it’s the perfect cassette presentation for Meadow Rock, and I’m proud to make it available at long last.
