I've just been re-visiting some old favourite albums (that is collections of recorded music for our younger readers) by Poco, a band I listened to a lot long ago. The production ranges from very good to blisteringly so but what gets you is the vocal and instrumental excellence, attributes that are less noticeable today IMHO. A great deal just sounds warmer and more musical to me too and I guess that's the analogue processing as opposed to today's digital methodology. Not knocking the digital world, I couldn't record here without it but dammit those old records do sound good and I see fewer artists who really can sing and play nowadays. However I'm not the target market of today's producers (thank goodness) so no big deal. Just glad I lived, played and was a part of the golden age of rock through the 60's. Old farts unite.
