And finally, here is today’s On This Date in History. I borrowed my old friend Kurt Vogel’s Schoeps microphones and followed Son Volt through Arizona and Southern California in 1997. This one is probably the best sounding of all of them. Huge thanks to Kurt for letting me use them.

This one did have some issues- one channel was cutting out pretty badly so I went through and corrected that when needed. Most of this is a stereo recording, some is a 2 channel mono deal.

The recording was really clear, but it was lacking in guitar and vocals, so I worked it up in Izotope to a level where I am happy with it now.
