Bound for Sound:
reviewed by Martin DeWolfe
And for something completely different, the following recording
has to be one of the most natural sounding ever made. Leave it
to Pierre Sprey of Mapleshade to capture the human voice and its
accompanying instruments in a more organic and natural way than
ever before. Pierre's latest assault on the recording art, and
voyage into the land where no other recording engineer has ever
gone, has arrived in the form of Bob Willoughby's "blues,
booze & oldtimey soul." Start with James Carr's, At the Dark
End of the Street. It'll have you wanting to serve Bob Willoughby
and Amy Sarli drinks and finger food-the boy and girl have come
over for a spell, or so it seems when track 4 is played. In all
my CDs and needle discs, none have a more intimate expression
of the human voice. You are the microphone, you are in the studio,
what else can you want? Other songs include Sugar Babe, A Hundred
Years From Today, and Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You? Singer, Willoughby
ads his own inflection and tenor that says something a little
different from interpretations of the past. He sounds deep and
willowy, but then again, Willoughby is a blue eyed, lanky white
guy who sounds as black as Muddy Waters, and as relaxed as John
Lee Hooker. This is one interesting dude. "Blues, booze &
oldtimey soul" is a recording of reference quality that goes
into my "Hall of Fame" with other recordings of Exceptional
Merit such as Clapton's "Unplugged", and Red Norvo's
"Forward Look." This is an instant classic for the audiophile
and non-audiophile alike. Bound for Sound: reviewed by Martin
