Well That Explains A Lot...
Manage episode 377136337 series 3511929
The owner of a very popular U.S. hifi audio cable maker calls hifi audio "a drug." And he's not wrong at all. Think of the yearning to listen after periods of being away from our systems. Think of the teleportation to a different place when everything's clicking. Think of the times we had to bargain, beg and borrow to upgrade to the next best thing. And on that topic, think about how we chase the audio dragon and are always interested in "better," or at least "different."
Hifi is a drug, and in this episode, after listener questions are answered and the guys check in on each others' audio projects, they come to grips with the notion. As they see it, there are worse addictions and worse drugs -- metaphoric or actual. But it's always good to pull on the ol' honesty glasses from time to time.
This week's album comes by way of an unknown drummer but features a very well known guitarist. The story goes, during their three-night run in Memphis they recorded everything. And the recording quality is staggeringly good.
They also all three developed food poisoning. After the show, they all felt horrible about how they felt they played that they shelved the project. Listen to the final segment of the podcast to hear what happened next.
But. Did the fellas pull it off is the real question. Were hosts Darren and Duncan able to recommend yet another Charlie Hunter album without being noticed?
