MacLeod – There's A Time (Reference Mastercut, 2LP, 45 RPM, 200g Vinyl)
Experience the powerful blues artistry of MacLeod in its purest form – now as an audiophile Reference Mastercut double LP . On "There's A Time," the singer-songwriter was recorded by Professor Keith Johnson , multiple Grammy Award winner, at the legendary Skywalker Studios . The musicians sat in a circle, able to see each other, and played live without headphones or overdubs , giving the recording a natural, energetic dynamic you can feel.
MacLeod, who has worked with blues legends like Big Joe Turner, Pee Wee Crayton, Big Mama Thornton, and others, delivers unorthodox yet captivating rhythm guitar work on the album. Instruments such as the National M-1 "Moon," Gibson C-100 FE "Little Bit," and National Style O "Owl" lend each song a unique sonic character.
