Thanks to Joelle Jaffe for shooting and editing this clip from the Freight and Salvage, March 2009. We’re going into the studio today to make Laura’s new record.
Here’s my version of the classic ballad “Barbara Ellen.” I recorded this at my Brooklyn apartment using a Neumann-Gefell M582 microphone with an M7 capsule for the vocals, and an RFT Gefell PM-750 for the acoustic guitar. A Grace Design Lunatec V3 preamp and DA converter was used into Pro-Tools. Reverb is supplied via a standalone Fender ‘62 Spring Reverb tank.
Thanks to my friend Ryan McGiver for helping me record this song.
