All I knew is I had a project, and working with Tim and his buddies was tremendous fun. The CD was called "Them Trains, Them Bones, Them Western Blues" and it was one of the first times I really could co-produce as well as just press the buttons. In the Control Room it was mostly just Tim and I and Tim completely trusted me with all of the engineering stuff. I pretty much mic'ed everything for a clean and natural ambient jazz sort of sound.

One time, I remember quite clearly he wanted to precisely match a guitar sound from a stevie ray vaughn record. We'd A/B our sound with the CD of the record until he was satisfied. I had done a similar thing only once before, I had to match a piano sound to john lennon's "Imagine," delayed reverb and all. Those sorts of things always seem funny to me, but the musicians seem to think it's mad crazy.

Looks like he recently made it onto a compilation here.

In any case, the following are a few samples from that album from my old DAT master.
