A Reference Recording....

For those of you who love the sound of the female voice(s) and/or have a passions for bluegrass/folk/Celtic styles...run, do not walk, to either Amazon or to mistyriverband.com and order Misty River's 'Rising'. Great music, awesome sound quality...what more can one ask? This is what this mad hobby always should be about - and so seldom is.

Misty River has produced 3 other albums. All musically outstanding but none have quite the 'band-is-in-the-room' quality (and I mean that quite literally - the illusion is very close to pefect). They are all still sonically way above average, however, and definitely worth owning.

Timrhu,

I agree about the vocal separation. Take the opening of 'If I Needed You', for example. Four very distinct voices sitting out there in 3D space. Lovely stuff.

I just noticed the HDCD indicator is lit up on the Live At the Backstage Gate cd. HAd to check the Rising and yes HDCD. Some may doubt the benefits of HDCD but the sound quality of these cds is another testimony for HDCD.

I received this from one of the members of Misty River:

"Our band is talking about doing a new CD toward the end of this year with the engineer who did Rising, but nothing is confirmed yet."

Yes please, I'll have some of that!

I see someone mentioned RailRoad Earth. I have their entire catalog, can't get enough of these guys. It's all acoustic too.

See them live this summer if you can! I know I will on July 1st at Milwaukee Summerfest. They hit all the major festivals.
