Female Vocals On Numbered, Limited Edition MQA Encoded 24kt Gold CD!
My LIVE Stories was recorded live over two days in the world famous Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, USA and is described by Susan as her 'best recording yet'. With an ensemble of top notch session musicians and a first class recording environment inside a 100 year old converted church Susan performed a selection of her favourite songs from her previous albums along with new songs. The recording, mixing and mastering was made at 24bit / 96kHz to capture the full richness of the performance. Highlights include the bossa nova influenced Billie Jean, the blues tinged Cry Me A River, an up tempo Perfect and a spine tingling performance of Desperado.
"As the Music Editor of TAS, I receive a lot of music in my mailbox. I play everything, and much of what I listen to attempts to be, and for the matter truly is, sonically impressive. Occasionally, though, some recordings sound so good that they catch me off guard (and in a good way), and when I played an SACD of Bob James' Espresso for the first time, that's exactly what happened... Espresso marked my introduction to Evosound. Because of that record, I contacted the label, who sent a representative sampling of its catalogue... Sonically the recordings were impressive, with clean, natural sound framing sparse arrangements that used a lot of acoustic instruments. The four vocalists I sampled came from different places - Hong Kong, Canada, the Philippines, and Scotland... .."
"Featuring 17 live-in-the-studio covers of well-known pop songs, Susan Wong's My Live Stories (2012) opens with Carole King's "You've Got A Friend" from 1971's Tapestry. That performance dos a splendid job of setting the tone for My Live Stories, as Tapestry immediately drew attention for its unvarnished performances and sound, an aesthetic shared by Evosound and much of the audiophile community. The ballads on My Live Stories include "Sometimes When We Touch", "Love Will Keep Us Alive", "Desperado", and "Something". The recording favors sparse acoustic instrumentation supporting Wong's crystalline voice..." - Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound, July/August 2019
