Don't Give Up Jipes Band new album

[Jimi75]

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
