One of the rencent CDs that really caught my attention is Finks record
"Biscuits for Breakfast"i caught his show in Switzerland and he sounds
just like the record.Backstage i talked to him and he told me that the
record was made basically live with very few overdubs and very minimal
compression in the mastering,then again they are a trio and the space in
their music obviously helps,Calexico is another band i enjoy listening to
they are 7 musicians but their music breathes and has a lot of space ,love
that in music!
