Geez, I almost wish I hadn't read this thread. I'm in the process of making a new CD of old stuff that I did way back in venues from Morticia's living room to a bluegrass festival. All field recordings, none anywhere near perfect, but, as most of you know, I am not able to re do any of them.Maybe I just won't ask for opinions.

My first album, "Lights along the shore" was done in a studio, and by the time I finished it I was so sick of the songs I avoided singing them for years afterwards.
In "Beginner's Luck" there was a chair squeek and a missed chord, but by the time we caught them it was too late. No one has ever commented on those mistakes.

I have a copy of Jim's new CD and I like it.He reminds me of Martyn Wyndham Reid.
