Acustic for the most part. The reunion that never was. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004P7NHBI/ref=dm_ws_tlw_trk12

Thanks for that! It reminded me so much of a reference album I have used for years (Days of the New--Yellow) that I had to look to see if any of the artist were shared as Travis Meeks used a lot of guest artist. Nope non shared. I ordered my copy immediately. FYI Days of the New--Yellow https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G97TV66/ref=dm_ws_tlw_trk2

Spoiler Alert!! Those that have ordered this album READ NO FUTHER You have been warned!! Well after waiting 6 months My MoFi 45rpm Ultra disk arrived. I deep cleaned it and put it on the Technics TT that had my new Denon DL 301 MK ii cart. Things just weren't quit right? I changed carts out and put in the Ortofon 2M Bronze-Now that's better but still not quit right? I slowed it down just a hair-better but still? The Instruments and vocals are real clean and no small detail is missing but???? I am something of a SRV aficionado and I have all his CD's and saw him many times in all sorts of different venues from Dallas to Austin, even got to jam with him one night at a open mic night he hosted at the Continental Club on Congress in Austin back in the 70's. So I know my Steve. It finally dawned on me what I was, or rather what I was not, hearing. It seems Krieg Wunderlich and Rob LoVerde in their infinate wisdom in Mastering this album decided to bring Vaughan's vocals up front and center with clarity. This pushed the instruments back and lowered their dynamics and decay! IE: that classic snare rim snap in Cold Shot for one instance. I don't know about what most folks look for in a SRV recording but if I want to hear vocals I look to other artist like Nora Jones, Eva Cassidy, Frank Sinatra, and many others but not SRV! I want to hear his guitar Genius first and foremost along with the drums, snares, bass, ect. with emphasis and feeling. His vocals while good are not what I consider his strong point. While I would imagine those with no real prior knowledge (???🙄) of SRV would enjoy this mix and pressing I feel let down and as it's my first purchase of one of these MoFi Ultradisc and if this is what to expect (someone arbitrarily changing a Artist performances and putting their perceptions on it ) I dare say it will be my last. Especially at 125.00 and a 6 month wait per album. Now if you already bought this album and went ahead and read this - I warned you_ and I did not want to bias your opinion as I am looking foward to reading it.

WoHo!! FedX has my SRV LP out for delivery I just got the new needle running on the TT so I know what I will be doing later. Opps as a matter of fact here's Fed-X! Now just clean it and give it a listen.

What or Which other Web site?

Alan Furst Historical spy novels. Like potato chips you read one and you will be reading the rest. His research. Is very impressive. Kinda like a mix of Clancy at his best and John le Carre for depth.

Good to know about SRV in Dec. Ordered mine 3 months ago.

Welcome!! Looking forward to your post and journey.

This goes back aways, and I'm showing my age. It came out in the 60′s and was quickly banned by many radio stations. Even back then, I couldn't imagine why, unless the lyrics struck a little too close to home. It was a turbulent time. The nation was divided by the Vietnam War and civil rights. Our inner cities were going to hell, crime was rampant, and yet the federal government was spending a shit ton of money putting men into space. Our government was openly lying about one thing, when the reality of the situation was staring us right in the face. And yet most of us lapped it up because hey, our government would never lie to us, right? It's almost hard to believe he was at one time part of the sugary sweet New Christy Minstrels, but it wasn't until Barry McGuire went solo and recorded Eve of Destruction that he became famous. https://youtu.be/MdWGp3HQVjU
