"True Love Ways"--theaudiotweek brought that cut to my attention back in 1988, as I recall. Though somewhat of a peripheral fan, I had missed how well that was recorded. Truly amazing.
Yes I recall your reaction that day. Funny what we sometimes remember and hold onto.We demo'd on Essence 10's.. 2'3rd's of the way back on the left side of the store.
Have several versions of "True Love Ways". One of these versions has a short spoken intro recorded well off to the right side detached from that speaker where you can sense clearly the producer being in a different room and airspace from the band. Its rather spooky. Tom
Tom, That's the cut we listened to--the producer speaking that disembodied voice from the other room, in different 'air space'...
Plus, some idiot engineer forgot to turn on the magic 'effects buttons and knobs' and Buddy had to sing it without layers and layers of added echo and noise--so we had to listen to an almost unprocessed Buddy.
It was Waylon that lost the coin toss. He lived with a horrible memory until his death...... he jokingly said " I hope the plane crashes"...... This was after Buddy said "I hope you freeze on that bus"...... Wasn't heated.
Now, just don't make me listen to that god awful "Bye Bye Ms American Pie"............
