I get handed a lot of CDs at trade shows from 'industry' types and I wish I could say good things about them, but it's usually pretty hard. I was pleasantly surprised by this disc of surprisingly good alt.country tunes that bandmember Peter Glanville of Glyph Technology handed me at the last AES shindig. Were you to guess (the cover art is very persuasive) you'd probably think this was an analog recording done in a good sized studio. Not an ultra low-budget Pro Tools LE project, which it is.
