"This is great music! I recorded the band live to a DAT machine using one stereo AKG C24 mic. No mixing, no fuss. Rainer was a master at getting his sound on the spot. Howe and Giant Sand accompanied perfectly. I used a pair of Neve 1081 mic pres and then direct to a pair of Neve 2254 compressors and onto the Panasonic 255 portable DAT 2 channel recorder. Listened through headphones. Great room with the swamp cooler. Lot of cubic footage. Real thick adobe walls. Made for a great sound. Rainer was the real deal. A deep soul in that man. His passion comes across. There are not a lot of artists you can record like that. We had a blast! Thanks Rainer".
John Hanlon - August 2016

A Simpletown production with assistance from Amazing Black Sand, John Hanlon, Kate Hyman, and thanks to Giant Sand.
