damonrpayne Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 On DeanG's recommendation I picked up this Robert Plant/Allison Krauss album. Its not usually my kind of music but it's nice. It seems to me there is more noise in this recording than I would expect from a "good recording", and using both Cornwalls and headphones, the mix heavily favors the right channel. Track 8: Trampled Rose is wonderfully haunting, definately my favorite on the album. Anyone else familiar with this recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Kennedy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 There was another thread going on here for a bit about Raising Sand ... Nice music, but the recording quality (or engineering, or mixing ... not sure) is so bad ... so much HISS .. I never listen to it. Funny thing is T-Bone Burnett is very outspoken about poor digital mastering ... then he put this out ... seems like a bit of a hypocrite to me.

damonrpayne Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Well, at least it wasn't just me hearing the noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Is this the vinyl version or cd? If the vinyl is noisy I will pass on it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerTuber Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I really like it and it got my wife hooked on Robert Plant post Zep. 29 Palms is her new fav song. We flew to Birmingham to see them live and it was a treat. You can probably still catch the 1 hour Rob/Allison show on CMT if you can do a search. If you got the vinyl recently I'd say you are lucky, it went out of print quite a while ago and I searched all over the world (literally) to find 2 copies. I read somewhere this was released before Burnett adopted his new protocols. Just a timing issue thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bone Burnett overlooked that production and I'm afraid it's in re-press state right now but I would say you want a copy[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Acoustic Sounds and Music direct are taking rain check orders for the re-pressing[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
