This is like Christmas (new cd) and a New Years Party all at one time.The Coggs describe the difference between the new cd (Mean Dog Howl) and the last one (Blackjack and Cigarettes) as:

“The new cd captures what you hear when you see us “Live ” a little better. To me, everything just sounds a little crisper, without sounding new.”

He is absolutely right, you hear each instrument like you are in the room with them, what a sound.

“There sure is nothing special about the way I record. I do the setup and the recording and I have to play too, so I like to keep it real simple. Just set up the microphones and go. The drums were recorded with 2 overheads and one on the kick and one on the snare, in a kitchen, that’s it. A lot of room sound in there to keep it real sounding. Everything is recorded on a half-inch 8-track reel to reel tape machine (that’s the secret weapon).”

If you’re working for a major record company you should take note, this is how you record a great cd.
