lick on any of the three photos directly below for a black and white download photo if the Buzzard Hollow Boys are playing at your joint. Below those, you'll find some session photos from the recording of Moonshine Remorse Redemption.
The following photos are from the making of Moonshine Remorse Redemption. The recording started out with the intent of making something of a "field" recording or a live performance around a single microphone kind of thing. It ended up being a little more produced, and sonically better than a field recording.
The project took place in Jeff's woodworking shop. Matt brought his gear in a relatively compact road case, consisting of a Mac computer, some pre-amps and mostly AKG and Shure microphones. We used vintage guitar amplifiers. A 1965 blackface Princeton Reverb and a 1967 Fender Super Reverb for Kurt. Jeff used a 1969 Fender Dual Showman, and 1954 5D6 Bassman clone by Fox Vintage Amps through Weber speakers. Kurt played a 60's Guild Starfire and Mexican Telecaster guitars. T.A. played his Martin Shenendoah and Yamaha acoustic guitars. Jeff played his GFI pedal steel, a 1954 Fender Stringmaster D8, a 1938 Richenbacher Silver Hawaiian, and a Hohner student VM accordion. Sonny played his old plywood upright Kay bass. Matt played everything percussion. He played a 1969 Volvo wheel rim while Kurt played a strum stick, and Jeff played an old pump organ and a dulcimer on Who Killed Poor Robin. This was a very "live" room to record in. We think you can hear that. Hopefully the whole thing doesn't sound too "studio." We're old school after all. Click any photo to embiggen.
