Jimmy McCracklin featuring Ry Cooder and Wayne Bennett (16/44 FLAC version)
Village Music 23rd Anniversary Party
August 5, 1991
Sweetwater
Mill Valley, California, USA

Village Music was a little record store in Mill Valley California and its owner, John Goddard, threw quite a few very interesting anniversary parties at the tiny nearby club, The Sweetwater. This is from one of those parties. Excellent quality from soundboard Dat master. Careful research did not reveal any released material from this show.

Lineage: Soundboard Dat master (Maxell R-120DM) > unknown deck.

Transfer (2012-04): Panasonic SV-3700 (digital output) > Macintosh with Digidesign Audiomedia III card > Pro Tools (minor "nip and tuck" edits, normalization, tracking and down-sampling - no equalization or DNR) > AIFF > xACT (level 8 files with sector boundaries verified).

Note: The song After Hours was done twice in the same set. The video of this set is being posted with other artists from this show in both DVD-5 and DVD-9 formats. I decided to post the audio sets individually to allow those with space or share ratio issues to try the audio before going for the entire video package. I do recommend all of the sets from this night - besides this one there are sections with Nicky Hopkins plus John Lee Hooker and Robert Ward with Ry Cooder (and also Lee Allen as audio only.) Carlos Santana, Albert Collins, Steve Douglas and Austin deLone sit in at times during the show too.

Enjoy and SHARE!
