Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Hank Bradley, Hank
Snow, Hank Williams, Hank Thompson, Uncle Dave Macon, Homer & Jethro,

Nothing wrong with any of that Mike, but in a musical sense it could be
suggested that you could possibly benefit from 'getting out a bit more'
;-)

Or maybe you have, and just don't like anything from the last 30 years ;-)

that album given your tastes.

Well I like all the artists you list, *and* Fleetwood Mac, so I don't
see them as mutually exclusive.

Neither do I. But I've been around long enough so that I have been

don't find any reason to pay any further attention to it.

They, as with Heart, would have failed to gain much recognition if it weren't for the fact they added some nice looking female singer(s). That is what gained them popularity!! I mean, I just LOVED the cover of Rumours album with that sweet thing is ballet attire. Ahhhh...

If I heard him on the radio, I wouldn't turn him off, but then I
wouldn't be sure I was hearing him, either, until the song was announced
by the DJ. I don't own any records by him.

Oh, and while we're about Hanks, how could I forget Hank Alrich? He's
even still alive as far as I know.

There are so many of them these days. "Americana" isn't what I like,
though some people think all American folk music is "Americana" and vice
versa. At least I know that you know the difference.

KBCS (Seattle) that I listen to quite a bit just plays the dickens out
of Frayze Ford and I just don't get her at all. She doesn't enunciate
her words well, her "beats" are boring even though she has some good
musicians on the tracks, and her lyrics sparse and repetitive. Maybe
it's just the two or three songs that the station plays, but there's
nothing there that makes me want to investigate her music further, and a
lot that makes me take a few minutes to get away from the speakers and
have some tea.

See, I would argue that her work isn't Americana or really any kind of folk

Sloan Wainwright

Well, she's from the Loudon Wainright clan and I thought the only thing
folky about his music was his style. His songs occasionally gave me a
laugh but there's nothing particularly memorable about a dead skunk
other than that he wrote a song about it. His tribute to Charlie Poole
tribute album seemed like it came from the right part of his heart, but
there wasn't much there there. I'd rather listen to Charlie Poole.

As for Sloan, I saw a ukulele in the photo on the opening page of her
web site. What more can I say? She might put on a good show, but that
isn't necessarily going to lead me to listen to her music again.

The copy I have is a good sounding recording. How close it is to the

Its closeness to the original sound is the only way to define a high

anything better than a 64k mp3.

They pieced songs together, seldom a live performance, maybe two or more recording studios utilized. What gains Audiophile status? It's simple, acoustic guitars!! Like, The Eagles. When the last time you heard someone say - boy, that electric guitar sounds good. Never.

Apart from the many times I've heard one being played by a very talented
player in a really good band, with a decent drummer, a good bass player
and an excellent singer. Or when any if the several I've heard were
doing a solo...

Acoustic guitars are good in the right place as are amplified acoustic
guitars using either a pickup or microphone. If you get a really good
player, pushing the limits of their skills and the instrument's
capabilities, I can happily listen to it all day.

A high quality recording carries the nuances of an amazing performance
right through the chain.

Tell me, how do you like the Made In Japan album by Deep Purple? I
reckon it to be one of the best albums ever made. It was made on an 8
track recorder after the record company out a lot of pressure on the
band, who weren't interested in doing an album. You can hear the band
feeding off the audience and vice versa, even in a grotty mp3 version.

Ever hear Smoke On The Water remix? This is where analog mixing and digital refinement join forces. I may have shortened this. Wish they had kept (mixed) the vocals out of the ending though (break a leg, etc.). Like the "damn-it!" ending. Guessing a guitar string break!....

Nora (especially 'earlier stuff') ? Fantastic recording. And the music

I've heard only one, and that one became the (US) hit. So, I'm talking about the hit version. Not live, not remake, not edited, not nothing, the hit version. I posted a link for you to hear the hit version remixed!!! :-)

Maybe the remastering is so poor or your other collected ones, you thought it's a different version!!

LP and CD versions of the live recording. As well as a couple of other
performances and remasterings and remixes...

I've heard only one, and that one became the (US) hit. So, I'm talking about the hit version. Not live, not remake, not edited, not nothing, the hit version. I posted a link for you to hear the hit version remixed!!! :-)

Ah, you mean the single. Otherwise known as the album track from the
Machine Head LP.

The live versions are much more fun to listen to.

Ever hear Smoke On The Water remix? This is where analog mixing and digital refinement join forces. I may have shortened this. Wish they had kept (mixed) the vocals out of the ending though (break a leg, etc.). Like the "damn-it!" ending. Guessing a guitar string break!....

*Which* Smoke on the Water remix? There were many different version
released by the band that I have on various media here. I've heard the

Correct!!!!

I prefer studio recordings, don't have people yelling and screaming!! Reminds me too much of vinyl ticks and pops, just noise!!

I prefer studio too - except in cases where
I grew up hearing the live version. Peter Frampton
comes to mind(the radio plays only the live cuts).
Hearing the studios of "Show Me The Way" and
"Baby I Love Your Way" was more of a revelation
to me - interesting, but not how I'm used to
hearing them.

Well, FM didn't bother with the Teen version of Show Me The Way, I was glad to find and hear the studio version on CD!

Like, FM didn't care for love songs. On FM you'd hear the flip side of Elton's - Your Song, that was Take Me To The Pilot.

Just like, Kiss, Rock & Roll All Night, both live and studio versions I remember from (AM) radio.

Can you guys find some other forum to discuss this in? This is
rec.audio.pro (a Usenet newsgroup). If you want to talk about production
and engineering, OK, but most of us don't care about your personal taste
in music or your extensive knowledge of pop song alternate mixes. We
know that the record companies often make several mixes of a song
throughout its lifetime, for different markets and different
distributions. Nothing to see here. Move on.

folky about his music was his style. His songs occasionally gave me a
laugh but there's nothing particularly memorable about a dead skunk
other than that he wrote a song about it. His tribute to Charlie Poole
tribute album seemed like it came from the right part of his heart, but
there wasn't much there there. I'd rather listen to Charlie Poole.

As for Sloan, I saw a ukulele in the photo on the opening page of her
web site. What more can I say? She might put on a good show, but that
isn't necessarily going to lead me to listen to her music again".

Grow up, Mike.

It's mainly to sell a few more copies and make a few more dollars!

Without Audio Compact Disc, a TON of material would have never been released.

Like, The Doors, Rider On The Storm, was remixed, but offered in original stereo mix, too.

Some of Foreigner's songs were remixed, too, as a Wal-Mart special. Shame they are too loud for me to appreciate.

Today, you'll find different mixes, but often too wild for my ears. However, Maroon 5, This Love, comes in a variety of likable flavors.

But, really, the RockBand multi-tracks brings to life what could have been released, but probably never will be.
