To Joe's point about John McCutcheon...his early recordings were not over-produced, but he seemed to "get weird" on some clearly over-produced recordings, but I wouldn't blame that on Rounder.

In my opinion, there is a huge difference between "well-produced" and "over-produced".

Being into old-time music, I've come to appreciate live studio recordings of this acoustic music with minimal editing and over-dubbing. Live concert performances of the same material is very representative of the recordings, with the live accentuations adding to it...
