专辑简介:
Not much needs be said about the artistic merit or historical importance of Poco's seminal "Pickin' Up the Pieces." I think it's pretty safe to say that the genre we've come to know as country-rock would not sound as it does without it. I think "landmark" is a pretty apt desciption of the LP.
Honestly, I was pretty surprised that Audio Fidelity chose to release it. Happy as hell, of course, but a little shocked. Some of the company's release choices have been pretty suspect, if not outright baffling, IMHO. But I'm hardly complaining. "Pickin' Up the Pieces" has deserved a first-class mastering on digital for a long, long time. BGO's two-fer from years ago that contains the album isn't bad at all, but this is now clearly my go-to version.
The SACD sounds amazingly open and detailed, and the harmonies are sweet and full. Unlike some, I'm not fond of everything Steve Hoffman does, but I think he got it right this time. The album probably sounds the best I've ever heard it in my room. It's really a great job. At times, I thought it might be a little bright in spots, and perhaps it is, but maybe that's on the master tape. Who knows? Regardless, it's not anything I consider at all serious.
For anyone looking to pick up a great-sounding digital version of this landmark recording, methinks this is the one to get. 曲目列表:
