...college charts, and it brought about a quick smile. For our band the Humming, Matthew was both engineering and producing: simply put, an engineer captures sounds onto a recorded medium, whereas a producer is responsible for getting the best performance out of the band. The latter job includes instrument choice, style and tempo suggestion, specific note review, song selection and an overarching vision for the project. This relinquishing of control was both inviting and disturbing for us. I remember feeling distinctly, after going through pre-production rehearsal with Matthew, that I had no idea how The Humming's debut would...

...trio opened with Brahms' Piano Trio No. 2 in C Major, Opus 87. Throughout the first movement, the strings and the piano traded the melody so smoothly that the exchanges seemed barely perceptible, as though the sequences had been performed on a single instrument.

...that he got the biggest applause of the night on David Letterman last Thursday when he repeated the "trust" mantra. Indeed, when Gore in the debate brought up the Dingell-Norwood bill, a bipartisan effort to solve the HMO problem, he might as well have pulled a shiny chrome instrument out of his back pocket and performed an invasive procedure on one of the Undecideds. In the face of details, Bush seeks refuge in his own good intentions, expressed in a warm bedside manner. "You can quote all the numbers you want. I'm telling you, we care about...

...barely opened mouth as he looks over their house and belongings. (Watching videos from this period, Jones' lips are so close together it's amazing that any notes come out at all.) Adding to the pleasure is some excellent session work, in particular a well-plucked dobro - an instrument not used much by country singers of the period - as well as some great fiddle and pedal steel. "Sings Like the Dickens" was rereleased in 1995 by New York City?based reissue specialists Razor & Tie, who have done a fine job delving into the archives to find old stuff from Jones...
