Hey Joe Opus/Red Meat [Pure DSD]

Hey Joe Opus/Red Meat is Blues Singer, Guitarist and Songwriter Otis Taylor’s 14th album, originally released as a CD (and on Vinyl LP) on his Trance Blues Festival label. It is now available in Pure DSD 64 Direct from the DSD Master Recording.

Joined by former Allman Brothers guitarist Warren Haynes, Jazz Trumpeter Ron Miles, Singer Langhorne Slim, and Violinist Anne Harris, among others, Otis has created a psychedelic suite of 10 continuous songs threaded with urging motifs, dynamic textures, and hypnotic passages interplaying with Otis’ signature lyrics and vocal style.

Hey Joe Opus/Red Meat was originally recorded at Boulder, Colorado’s Immersive Sound. Engineered and mixed by Mike Yach and Mastered by David Glasser at Boulder’s Airshow Mastering.

Recorded exclusively on the Sonoma DSD Multitrack Recording System, it was remastered from the original Direct Stream Digital (DSD) master mixes by Gus Skinas in Pure DSD 64. The sonic result is an exclusive Direct-To-Master DSD 64 recording with exceptional presence, detail, clarity, and dynamics.

The reissue production of Hey Joe Red Meat was done using a Sonoma DSD Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in Pure DSD 64 and mixed on an analog console. During mastering, the album was monitored on ATC SCM 50 and Infinity IRS V loudspeakers driven by PS Audio BHK Mono 300 power amplifiers.
