Current Featured Artist-
Cletis Carr
Cletis finished recording an e.p. at Soundshed in 2012.
He wanted to create a sound similar to Ryan Adams' album 'Ashes & Fire' - nice choice!
This song is my particular favourite.
I used M/S stereo on his guitars to acheive a full guitar sound that would fill up the sparse stereo image
