A Reference Recording....

For those of you who love the sound of the female voice(s) and/or have a passions for bluegrass/folk/Celtic styles...run, do not walk, to either Amazon or to mistyriverband.com and order Misty River's 'Rising'. Great music, awesome sound quality...what more can one ask? This is what this mad hobby always should be about - and so seldom is.

Misty River has produced 3 other albums. All musically outstanding but none have quite the 'band-is-in-the-room' quality (and I mean that quite literally - the illusion is very close to pefect). They are all still sonically way above average, however, and definitely worth owning.

Thanks for the tip. I'm always looking for another reference recording, because it is about the music although we seem to get lost in the quest for better gear. My system is now where I want it to be and now I can focus on getting more music. Some of the best music I have I've gotten because of tips like this.
Thanks again.

My pleasure. On the surface, this would appear to be nothing more than a run of the mill indie CD. Nothing could be further from the truth. You can listen to some of their music at the site. Try 'Only Love'...this is the first track on "Rising"...and the one that made me say 'man, this is something very special'. They're mp3s of course, but you'll get the idea.

> we seem to get lost in the quest for better gear

I couldn't agree more. And I'm just as guilty as many.

OK you got me. I just ordered "Rising" and "Live at the Backstage Gate" from cdbaby.com for $27. One of my favorite things about cdbaby is I can pay with paypal.
I've rarely been steered wrong with music recommendations here.

Timrhu,

As long as you liked the music itself, you won't be steered wrong. I can guarantee you'll be happy with the engineering side of things. Enjoy!
