Free Music Notes for Master of Disaster
Free Music Review: SACD is incredible!
Hit: 4 Stars
Most reviews here have focused on the CD version but where this recording shines is on a SACD player. Jim Dickenson (JH's co-producer) mentioned in an interview that they recorded MofD using the new Sonoma DSD recorder and said if it catches on it will revolutionize the recording industry. He went on to say that the Sonoma system is like being in the room with 1st generation audio. That being said, the sonic quality of this recording is awesome...I listened to the SACD then listened to Bring the Family SACD (an excellent recording in its own right) and the difference was amazing. The new SACD had subtle sounds that are simply not on the BtF disk. An example - On the track "Back On The Corner" after the 1st verse, a dobro cuts in (it sounds like a door creaking open) and you can only hear it in the left front channel. On the CD, the sound is no where to be found but in 5.1 it's clear as a bell. If ou close your eyes and listen to this SACD you'll think they are playing in your living room...A quantum leap forward in recording quality.
Master of Disaster Poster
Roots and groove mark this teaming of John Hiatt and the North Mississippi Allstars. On Master of Disaster, legendary Memphis producer Jim Dickinson and his sons Luther and Cody (the Allstars' guitarist and drummer, respectively) team with veteran bassist David Hood to give Hiatt's music a slow simmer rather than the high voltage fans might have expected from the collaboration. Yet the airy, organic interplay of the band provides the perfect complement for Hiatt's songs of folkish simplicity and lyrical grace. With the title track, he addresses the artist's midlife crisis and finds creative renewal in the process, a theme revisited in the country ballad "Old School." There's a ragtime spirit to "Wintertime Blues" and "Back on the Corner," the insistence of a tom-tom's thump on "Love's Not Where We Thought We Left It" and "Find You at Last," a slide guitar that slices and dices through "Ain't Ever Goin' Back." With "When My Love Crosses Over," Hiatt returns to the soulful, soaring romantic balladry that remains a signature specialty, while "Cold River" tells a story that probes the coldest resources of the human heart. The result is his richest and most consistently satisfying release since the late '80s. --Don McLeeseJohn Hiatt recorded Master Of Disaster with the North Mississippi All Stars as his backing band. The CD is being released as a Hybrid Super Audio CD. This CD plays on all CD players, including CD players with SAC/5.1 Surround Sound.
