pigdog wrote:interesting choice of music, i was very much taken by the music from the mid 19th century just around the US Civil war some great examples from Ken Burn's Documentary called Civil War very evocative music and at some point almost like a lament. your discription of the music is very much what we would called roots music. interestingly i find plenty of similarities with this type of music with the ones i heard in ireland a few years back i would suggest going for the soundtrack of Stanley Kubricks film : Barry Lyndon as a follow up to this album

audiostar wrote:“Jazz at the Pawnshop” (half speed LP)
For a few seconds, you’re overwhelmed by the thought that you may have been transported to Rick Blaine’s Café Americain, the fictional bar/cafe from the hit 1940s movie Casablanca...
With this half speed pressing, delicate music appearance and excellent details are reproduced with superior clarity. You can hear every slight chime of glass, conversations and background noises without losing the spectacle of the music.
As soon as I fired up Jazz at the Pawnshop in my audio system, a re-creation of a conspicuous sound field with a good blend of body, imaging and detail, engulfed my listening room. On Duke Ellington-Hodges’ “Jeep’s Blues” (Track 6 Vol. 1), the horns came alive, and I felt as though I was right there in Stampen enjoying every minute of it. The rest of the tracks: awesome - FIVE STAR
