A hidden funky gem "Herbie Hancock Fat Albert Rotunda

Forums

I came across this CD recently on iTunes and decided to take a chance and purchase the CD and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. This is a funky 70's sounding CD that has some great mixing and sounds surprisingly good so much in fact that I had to turn up my audio equipment twice.

Iron & Wine

Anyone else a fan of these guy? If you like acoustic/folk with some bluegrass influence, you should definitely check this out. "Our Endless Numbered Days" and "Shepherd's Dog" are both excellent albums. Both of them, I think are "must own" in-print LPs.

The two LPs are quite a bit different, with "Endless" consisting almost exclusively of Sam's guitar and his mellow, almost whisper-like vocals. The second album introduces more genre-bending sections and instruments.

Both of the albums are probably my top two favorites to "chill out" to.

And another brand of "most transparent".

Mickey likes it, of course, another brand of stuff, what delineates one from teh other anyway? Seems each new name can always make it better than the previous name. With all that innovation, you would think they could eliminate the stylus mostly. Aqvox, how many different ways can ya put letters together to form a new word, brand of stuff, wasn't Manley or Acoustech the one, not too long ago. More transparent than the CD copy off the $100,000 TT? Which pre amp did he use for that demo?
