for this material I wanted to go with the old classic

stage mix, since as a trio every piece counts I wanted more definition
especially for the bass because it really is what fills in the space
and Pete is a good enough player to deserve his own channel :). Also
the track order was also kind of planned as a live set would go,
obviously the first cut is the most directly blues derivative but in
a live show such a song would be uptempo and a way to say "hey we're
here!" and get the audience involved and let the band warm up a bit
before getting to the more demanding stuff..
I think it was successful then, because as I was listening almost right
away came to mind listening to blues in a club or bar. There were a
couple of songs where I thought that if you added some chatter and
applause you could almost get away with making people think it was a live
recording.
I don't remember if you said, was it tracked live, or did you overdub parts?
