Salt and Wood by The Blue Moss: One Ribbon Mic in a Barn

Review of The Blue Moss’ Salt and Wood—one ribbon mic, one barn, two voices and a barking dog.

1 min read

The Blue Moss’ Salt and Wood was recorded with one ribbon microphone placed between two voices in an Asheville barn, doors open to the October night.

Salt and Wood — Singing with the dog

A dog barks during the bridge. Calhoun kept it in the mix because it sounded like harmony.

Porch light on — Barn doors open

Recorded with barn doors open wide. The barn holds all the harmonies.

One ribbon mic — Between two voices

No overdubs, no isolation booths. Just one microphone and two voices in a wooden room.

Salt and Wood is available on the LyricsMirchi archive with full lyrics.
