It has that thrilling live sound of the first Van Halen album, also produced by Templeman. The second Montrose album, Paper Money, was also produced by Templeman, but sadly sounds really dead to me. RIP, Ronnie. 1 Quote

BruceM Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 My friend Johnny turned me on to this over the weekend Wow! Guitarist Ripley Johnson, also of Moon Duo fame. The following excerpt explaining how he tried to get this sound speaks to me. haha.Recorded primarily at his home in Portland and mixed by Cooper Crain (Bitchin’ Bajas, Cave), the songs on Earth Trip make deft use of space through their lean arrangements, guest Barry Walker’s shimmering pedal steel, open and elongated guitar melodies, and upfront and intimate vocals. Johnson describes the arrangements this way; “I was trying to capture that feeling when you take psychedelics and they just start coming on - maybe objects start buzzing in the edges of your vision, you start seeing slight trails, maybe the characteristics of sound change subtly. But you’re not fully tripping yet. Cooper got the idea right away and his mix really captures that feeling.” Johnson’s lithe guitar playing treads an equally fine line between country and cosmic, melodies blooming into long reverb trails and solos evocative of radiant summer warmth. 1 Quote

Brooks Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Shawn Lane's stuff is hit or miss for me, but ran across this recently, which is pretty damn ccol; The album I watched Charlie Hunter record live in 2018 came out in November; Read Rob Halfords CONFESS!, which sent me down a JP rabbit hole; Edited February 16, 2021 by Brooks 4 Quote
Steve Haynie Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Have you ever had a song get stuck in your head? This afternoon and evening has been dominated by one of those earwigs. At least the guitar player on the recording session was George Harrison. 3 1 Quote
RobB Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 I wish Snowy White would've hung in for another coupla albums. Such a tasteful player. After Robbo, he was the best combining with Scott. Quote
RobB Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 New, Half-speed master RI. Sounds amazing even on my mid-fi system. Not a dog in the bunch. 2 Quote
