Ed Blackwell remains one of the most criminally under appreciated jazz drummers of all time. One of the most dedicated musicians to his craft, he always carried a pair of sticks with him to practice during *any* down time.
My wife said I’m buying too many Bright Eyes albums lately. Ok. Nooooo problem! Haha!
This pressing sounds really good. I like the mix of their voices. This one was mastered by Bob Ludwig. He seems to be Conor Oberst’s master engineer of choice lately. Almost no surface noise. I tracked down the orange version, as it is a limited pressing. I hoped it would be of good quality and I was not disappointed! Good old Electric Fetus had one.
I've been binging on Evanescence since their amazing DC concert a week ago. This album is fantastic! Definitely shows their gothic influences the most of their albums.
