I think thats right, we are listening to the technology, listen to Hank Williams from the 50's, the songs are glorious, bona fide classics although the actual
sound of them is often awful.
Same with the 60's, i think of Don Rich as sounding big, deep, clean and twannnngy, listen to those originals, some of them are positively weedy compared to how i
think they sounded.
You still can't beat a good tune though !
