Notes:

Like my Jenny Lewis capture from months earlier, I snagged a 4th row ticket at a reasonable price the week of the show, a very suboptimal taping spot, but a prime viewing location. So unfortunately I didn't have a great line at the speaker stacks for the mics, and for the most part, the Ryman is somewhat overrated as a great sounding room unless you're in certain sections/seats.

Attempted to boost the vocals slightly using Izotope Rebalance, and did some slight mastering tweaks. It's a decent listen but probably not the best capture of this run. However, three new songs, one newly written and two pre-1978 Difford/Tillbrook songs they are recording for two different new LP's.


Enjoy, go see the band when they come to your town, and do what you want with this recording as long as it's not for sale, but please don't redistribute in lossy formats!
