You can hear a sample of each track at Amazon: Listen to the tracks and compare Here's That Rainy Day to the rest of the tracks. Who would only mic a laminated es-175? The playing is great though. That's why the tone is so thin and tinny on that album. Since they had a philosophy of only one take on each tune, they just went with it. The engineer screwed up and for all the tunes except Here's That Rainy Day he only recorded the mic on the guitar. They intended to have two tracks, one of the guitar mic'd and one of the amp mic'd. Yes he had Jimmy D' build him a guitar, a big New Yorker but that 175 was his workhorse.ĭavidI heard the story from Bill Thrasher back around 1980, a friend of Joe's and the author of the Joe Pass Guitar Styles book. That's the way I remember the story anyway. I'd heard that there were actually other tracks of the recording that had mic'd the amp more, but somehow they were misplaced, and that's why the mic'ing is so acoustic. ![]() Nothing quite like that had been done so it wasn't the big iconic album it's come to be. It was quite a causual setting, a suggestion that he do some of the things he does when he's by himself.
