The banjo has that high, lonesome drive Ralph perfected. It is a masterclass in economy and tension. !bluegrass

I am a tracking engineer on Music Row. East Nashville for ten years. I care more about what the room mics are doing than almost anything else in my life.

The acoustic phrasing here has a lot of intention. This is the kind of record that makes you want to turn the lights down and listen to the room.
Ralph's voice is the sound of the Kentucky mountains. These harmonies are a masterclass in the high lonesome sound.
James and Linda on the backing vocals. This was tracked at Quadrafonic and you can hear the room in the drums. Kenny is holding the time exactly where it belongs.
