Performance: Sonics: |
Anyone who doesn't think this recording is spectacular has a sad life. Wow. I had a huge collection of SACD and DVD-Audio, but alas, bad economy, and I had to sell a bunch of them. This one fetched a big price, but honestly, wish I wouldn't have sold it. No matter what you play this on, it sounds spectacular. A prime example for those who say that the source is what is most important in a system. From the opening cut it takes you back to a Sunday early afternoon in the late thirties. Their voices are spectactular, the tune is playful. Each one tells you why this gravely voiced man was so beloved and the music so popular. Of all the discs I sold I miss this the most.
It knocked my off my chair in my office on my stupid little office system and didn't disappoint me no matter where I listened to it. It's special.
But, it's not flat 20 - 20khz +-0 db nor is there any bottom end, but who cares. It's like having the guy in the room with you and he and the woman he sings with make you smile.
I'm somewhat of a rocker/singer/songwriter fan. I like Crosby Stills Nash, Yes, Metallica, Dave Matthews. But this Satch Plays Fats is my favorite disc of all time. Even more than Fragile, which held that spot for me till I heard this disc.
