Golden Hits Vol.1 is a retrospective collection of songs spanning from 1995 to 2003. Songs were selected from the first four albums i’ve released. The songs were re-recorded with lyrical adjustments and arrangements using only guitar and voice in the folk tradition.
Mike Vasquez engineered the album at the Sweat Box studio. It was recorded live to 2 tracks on tape with no overdubs.
I usually tour alone and play the songs with no other instrumentation so I thought it was fitting to do the collection in this form.
Golden Hits Vol. 1 is a precursor to a new album entitled This Guitar, which will follow in the Autumn of 2013.
Sixteen songs pressed on 200-gram double vinyl mastered at 45 rpm for highest fidelity possible. Packaged in gatefold jackets with lyric insert and digital download card.
