Blues for Aficionados

The older blues musicians recordings sound great on LPs’, while the cd versions have massive hiss, weak bass, and sound terrible.
so many of my favorites, I ripped to my computer, then burned to CDs. I love the little ticks & pops when playing the cd.

I have that one on Audioquest and a few others by Terry Evans.  Don't know how I overlooked them.   Thanks.

arcticdeth,

The CD was / is 'perfect' for me, in that it addressed everything I hated about LPs.  

Cheers

PUTTIN' IT DOWN

Notes: " I grew up in a little town called Vicksburg, Mississippi, which was close to the Delta, Greenville, where B.B., Robert Johnson and all the famous cats came up.  I was raised up in the church.  My family thought it was a good idea for me to go to church.  I was in the junior/senior choir.  I used to sing tenor, baritone, bass.  We weren't allowed to sing what they called the rough stuff, you know, the rock and roll stuff.  We weren't allowed to sing that in those days.  All we could sing was gospel songs, so we had to slip away to sing some of the secular type songs."
