General Information

Ian Whitcomb is a name you might recognize if you grew up in the 60' and were paying attention to Top 40 radio. As a young musician/singer in his early 20's, Ian rocked onto the pop charts with a novelty tune called "You Turn Me On". Since that time he has become an acknowledged expert on and performer of American Songs and songs of the early 20th century. A thoroughly likeable character, Ian Whitcomb brings a unique energy to his ukulele and accordion playing...but it's his infectious singing that you will enjoy most.

About the Recording Approach

This recording is NOT an attempt to "document" a live recording of Ian and his musician friends but instead an exploration of the creative process of making and recording music on videotape and using high-resolution digital audio recording equipment. AIX Records uses no EQ, dynamics processing or artificial reverberation...everything you hear is as the musicians played it. Both "audience" and "stage" 5.1 mixes and a PCM 96/24 bit stereo mix are included on the disc on the DVD-Video side. However, it is the DVD-Audio 96 kHz/24 bit tracks encoded with Meridian Lossless Packing [MLP] that elevates the listening experience well beyond a traditional CD or even a live event. You can chose to listen from the middle of ensemble and hear the sound of the instruments coming from all directions or place yourself in the "best seat in the house". The dynamic range and fidelity offered by the 96 kHz/24 Bit source recording makes this recording come to life.
