Best Home Recording Equipment for Americana Music - High-Quality Audio Gear for Musicians & Singers | Perfect for Studio, Live Performances & DIY Music Production

The cover of this disc shows a diagram of the type of recorder used on these Jim Croce "Home Recordings", a basic reel to reel and microphone. Too many reviewers are complaining about the audio, meanwhile forgetting about the significance and history value of this rare recording. The audio is really not that bad, not as bad as say listening to Charlie Patton or Blind Lemon Jefferson old 78 recordings. The only real problem with this one is, it lacks Croce originals, there are none. Some songs on here are the blues and Croce does some fine acoustic work on here playing various blues riffs and notes, while you're listening to this recording try to imagine Jim Croce as an old blues singer, most of the best blues recordings are presented with vocal and guitar only. There are a few tracks of "country Jim" on here with the standards, Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried", Dave Dudley's "Six Days On The Road", Jimmie Rodgers' "In The Jailhouse Now", Freddy Hart's "The Wall", Lefty Frizzell's "Mom And Dad's Waltz". Listen for the fat woman song and Tommy Collins' "Pickles". Jim Croce's "Home Recordings;Americana" is exactly what the title says it is, nothing more, nothing less. Let's hope for more Jim Croce material to be released.
