Regarding the "JW" lp…..I’m finding it to be, not at all what I had expected. (I guess between his first lp and his latest, & with all of his time with Father John Misty and two of his own lps in between) I should not be surprised. The SQ is great upon first listen. This is one lp that will require multiple listens to evaluate properly and I’m up to the challenge. I’m hearing some of "A Deeper Understanding"/ The War On Drugs, and a hint of Peter Gabriel in the mix. Very interesting.
Then comes side 4.
@reubent ,
I've thought some more about your question regarding Sarah Shook. My belief on how one (takes) her is where one may come from in life. I find a lot of personal history in her lyrics. This, coupled with the emotion of singing something so personal, may be something she cannot control. ?

This is just subjective and may only be proven by seeing her live.?
@reubent ,

Thanks for the mention...

That song is no where near the songs by Sarah Shook my friend.

I wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
There's just something I love about Other Lives. Never been able to put a reasonable thought-to-paper explaination.
All I can tell you James is, when I’ve played around with my switch, the music is somewhat duller, closed in . I’ve never really needed to use it on any record yet. The hum, in my experience, isn’t an issue.

I’ve read in the past that some recordings had reversed polarity. Most people just switch their speaker cables.

Based on reading your posts, I don't think you have an issue.
The horns on the first track is a complete surprise. Nice wide soundstage, SQ is great! The title song is really nice. I kind of have a feeling, the other songs may have just as much or more value. The last song on side one is expendable.
Side two,
Love the way it starts out. Then the songs continue with the unexpected horns and rockabilly that keeps me hanging on.
In the end, I think this lp in it’s entirety, is much better than it’s parts.
The HIT song, actually doesn’t fit in with the rest of the record.

BTW, love the front cover.

Enjoyable!

@sbank,

Spencer, I thought I had all of Laura Veirs......never heard of "Saltbreakers"

Nikki Sudden & the Jacobites "Texas"

Stumbled across this band a while back. Since bought another 3 lps. Upon listening, seems like another artist ahead of his time that died too young
You all should check him out?

Next, I'm going to re-listen to the Neil Finn & Paul Kelly lp I posted over the past weekend. It needed some flattening. Hopefully now it will sound a little better?
