Smokin' stuff man!
Am I seeing things, or are those AKG 451-ck1 on the overheads as well as the hat?
Saw the 214s later on which are too new for me to have had a chance to try, but I imagine they were fairly airy and quiet, yes?
Keep me posted when a high res PCM is available?
Thanks,
John

Hey Jipes – the cd came two days ago – record time! I don’t get anything from the states that fast... The cd is great, and I am really enjoying listening to it. The band is really tight with great playing and singing all around, and the production is really nice, open and well balanced. Congratulations! It would be fun to hear you play live.

Pardon my boneheadednes Jipes,
I only see links for the studio teaser and streaming/download link.
Is there a link to pick up the CD?
This is what I'm hoping to get a hold of, or the same quality or better if download is the only option for USA buyers.
Thanks

Just curious - how do you handle the licensing of cover tunes? How much does it cost?

Hello Headstack, you go this link
http://www.mojo.fr/boutique.html and choose the Paypal option. For the USA the postage cost 5,15€ so if you could just add 3€ by paypal to ùy account it would cover perfectly the cost

So you have to sell quite a few CDs to break even.

Oh Yes but it's not the reason for making this record you know if I wanted to make profit out of music specially in France I would rather choose another style of music The most important s to celebrate our 20years together as a band that's not so common those days
we wil of course be very happy if many people would buy the album and enjoy our blues

Jipes my friend,
Onl today I had the chance to listen to the entire album. To be honest - it's world class! The mix is superb and I totally dig the room on the record (reverb). It sounds very natural. Let me guess - you recorded most of the stuff "live" not one by one. Your guitar sounds extremely direct. The only little little thing (please excuse me ;-)) is that I find that the solo sound could be a tiny bit beefier in the bass/mid spectrum (it still sounds great, you know what I mean Jipes) - did you use a TS circuit to boost the solos? The vocals - oh man - very entertaining and classic - that timbre is awesome. Your band has that layed back groove that can only be produced by feeling the music and exploring the boundries of a song. I love all of your interpretations, especially Cold Shot. It features this great groove that differs from the original, but it fits as perfect as a glove! You did not overdose the brass parts, which I really find a clever move! It's the right dosis of brass here and there and it finds perfection in Down In Hollywood.
Thumbs Up - you did everything perfect with that jubilee album!

Thanks thousand times Jimi, yes indeed it was mostly recorded as a live trio, we did only one or two takes to keep it as natural as possible. As for the guitar sound, yes that's the way I play on stage I cut off most of the medium and I use a custom Ts 808 pedal designed by the guy who build my Tweed Vibrolux amp.
As for the groove I guess we re just getting old thanks a lot for your nice praise coming from an excellent musician it really touch me deeply

I agree with Jimi - the more I listen the more I like it. Today I was listening in the house for the first time (as opposed to in the car). As I said before, , the production is great and the sound so well balanced, and as Jimi said the room sound is perfect. I was also impressed with the way that you put your own very unique take on each tune and make it your own.
As I was listening, my sister came in. She stopped and listened and said, "I like this, it's really good. Who is it?". I told her she wouldn't know the band, and asked her if she noticed anything (I didn't know how else to say it). She said, "What do you mean? The guitar is good, the band is good and the singer is really good. Am I supposed to know or hear something else?" So I explained how I came by the cd through knowing Jipes on a forum. She paused a moment and then said, 'So, do you mean that the band is French?!" When I said yes, she looked really surprised, and then suspicious, and said, "No way! They're French? The singer is French? I can't tell!" I should say also that my sister has studied some French on her own, so she is not deaf to the sound of the language.
Now for the funny part. After that conversation, as I was listening I was saying to myself, "I wonder who the singer is - I should check the liner notes". So I look, but I can't find him... there is Jipes on guitar, Ben on bass and Mitch on drums, with all the other musicians - no singer. So I go get my glasses and look again, and then I see it 'Jipes - vocal and guitar'! I had read right past that, assuming that it just said 'guitar'. Wow! Now I am really impressed, Jipes!

Thanks a lot for this very nice quote coming from your sister, I take it thousand times Most of the people who know me and are used to hear me speaking are usually surprised when they hear me perfoming the first time. They all say that I have somehow a totally different voice ???? As for myself after 30 years singing I still have a tough time to listen to myself singing but I guess it's the same for every singer
I really appreciated what you pointed out concerning the way of getting the songs done in our own way that's a very nice compliment ! I've been looking for years to be a kind of myself despite my big influences which are B.B King and Buddy Guy and more recently the great Tab Benoit (reason why I mostly play Thinline Telecasters)
