Tony Rice-Acoustics. Heard of him by way of Jerry Garcia's Pizza Tapes release years back and recognised his name browsing discogs, this one I almost passed over because of the cover.

Best of 2014 so far with bitchin soundstage?
Ojgalli, thanks for your response. It doesn't have the acoustic information needed to recreate a natural sound-field with the width, depth, and height you want to hear. But, while informative what I want to hear is not just true stereo. That has i...
