Unsigned Treasures: Mark "Pocket" Goldberg - Off the Alleyway (2010)

Unsigned Treasures: Mark "Pocket" Goldberg - Off the Alleyway (2010)

Source: Something Else!

By Nick DeRiso Mark “Pocket" Goldberg's Off the Alleyway, a rootsy Americana recording with the flickering neon-soul of a blues joint, stays well away from the beaten path. His sound is as eclectic as the country's rolling byways, bringing in low-country pedal steel, back-pew harmonizing, the nostalgic wheeze of an accordion, and crunchy late-night guitar growls.

That's not the case with Tascam's DR-08. This linear (meaning it doesn't compress sound files) voice recorder, dressed in black and dreamy tangerine, uses tiltable twin microphones to compensate for a wide range of ...
