Reviews :
"Chad Kassem's efforts have resulted in a delicious live session... Tate reaches down to the soles of his shoes to deliver exquisite takes of two trademark songs from his classic Verve LP, 'Look At Granny Run Run' and 'Ain't Nobody Home', plus four others. The backing band is note-perfect for the session, the sound bordering on the cavernous. Best of all, over 40 years after his debut, the voice is intact." Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News
"...Gary Gold has worked with artists as legendary as Smokey Robinson and Chuck Berry. Recently he made his first APO recording as the drummer for the veteran soul singer Howard Tate along with other seasoned pros - and afterwards said, 'It's a step up from anything that any of us have done...the highest possible standards recording-wise. What a blessing.'...That this music is getting recorded and released is by itself a good thing, but the fact that it comes out on audiophile vinyl is a whole lot of icing on the cake. As for the sound, this was analog like I remembered it (minus the hiss, wow, and flutter), with a warm, in-the-room feel from the drums, bass, and acoustic piano and a rich, full sound from acoustic guitars." - Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound, April/May 2010
Direct-to-disc (D2D) recording refers to sound recording methods that record audio directly onto analog disc masters bypassing steps as master tapes, overdubs, and mix downs from multi-tracked masters. This approach avoids problems of analog recording tape such as tape hiss (high frequency noise).
