Today I'm sharing a New John Cale recording. Transferred and Flac'd for the first time anywhere.
First and Foremost, check out this John Cale website: Ex-Velvet Underground member.

It has all you need to know about his touring past, except for this brand new recording.
John Cale: vocals, piano, acoustic guitar
B.J. Cole: pedal steel guitar
David String: violin
Todd Reynolds: violin
Martha Mooke: viola
Dawn Buckholz: cello
I was not familiar with John Cale. I had to do my homework on this to figure out the set list.
This recording had a lot of mic movement and bumps, which also caused random dropouts.
I spent a lot of time fixing these areas and did a decent job at balancing the channels.
Other than that, the sound quality is very nice and clear.
John does a very unique version of Elvis' "Heartbreak Hotel".
Track 13 does cut in due to a tape flip.
Track 17 fades in due to a tape stop.
The final track is a Leonard Cohen cover.
This guy is quite talented.
Thanks goes out to Ken for taping and sending me the recording.
