T Bone Burnett on New Ionic Original Recording of Blowin' In The Wind by Bob Dylan 

T bone has a voice like liquid velvet and I could listen to him recite the dictionary. I think his reasoning to produce this ionic disc is an artistic triumph, anything that shows up digital streaming for what it is. The fact we can’t hear it is a shame but he has made a great stand against giveaway music which ultimately is not fair on hard working musicians who in my opinion make the world a better place. His reverence of Bob is heartfelt and warm and I for one salute him, Bob and the indestructible acetate.

Right up our alley. Thanks for posting.

Lovely video Lovely voice Lovely man.

Discussed in detail at the EDLIS Café

it's amazing isn't it. T Bone Burnett was about to cry over those long ago memories. T Bone has a discussion over the dark side to social media and the harm it is doing. search it out.

Very cool stuff. 🤘

the best sound is always and only on the master tape like it or not🥳

WOW and Merci.

But now that Bob sold his catalog, T Bone cant use the song on this video without a copyright strike. Ahhh Progress!

Thank. .. Informative & entertaining

Bob leaves me howling in the wind

first.....and thank you Bob....

"What is the best sounding media.....without hesitation the acetate" can't possibly be correct. As any electro-mechanical process, such as cutting an acetate, can only degrade the original signal (by loosing information and creating distortions) the best sounding media, by definition, must be the original master (tape or file) the acetate is produced from. Every additional step, post playback of the master, can only ever degrade it - schoolboy physics

Wow

1:50 cool !

This is nice, but I was waiting for the song to play...

Ever heard of 2 Track 15 IPS Analogue Tape ? ^^

I've never heard of acetates as anything other than disposable discs of works in progress. Interesting.

That was cool till I saw Christie’s, then it became suspicious…

I look forward to paying 389$ per album

Dear T Bone, love the new improved vinyl medium BUT ... what next? If it's not s marketable it's not real. One copy is bullshit, unless you explain WHAT NEXT!

Bob's voice went to sh-t around '95, but the early work is classic.

T Bone attempts to make a point favoring "acetate" i.e. records, by saying it is "the best sounding medium", while admitting that with every play of the needle on the recording the sound is degraded. His own statements indicate it can't be the "best sounding" if, at every play, the sound gets worse. This is the flaw of 'record only' fans who state superiority of the medium, while admitting the sound quality diminishes. Also, the statement that digital medium standards are only getting worse all the time doesn't fly. David Gilmour's remastering of Pink Floyd's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" shows with digital you can revisit the recording and digitally improve it from a technical and remastering of the tracks. Good luck on doing that with some aged 1" tape of an analog recording slowly degrading somewhere in a vault.

Boring
