Synopsis

Product Description

This 5.1/stereo hybrid SACD is an essential recording for anyone interested in contemporary folk music. The recording quality is excellent. The music and lyrics are quite beautiful. And as the big commercial record companies implode all around us, David Elias proves that much of the best contemporary music is coming from private labels today. He also proves that quality recordings can be made inexpensively and that the SACD format just may survive - Reviewer, Acoustic Sounds

CD Reviews

An icon among singer-songwriters of America

Michael J. Downey | 01/14/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"With the release of "Crossing," David Elias has re-affirmed his place as an icon among singer-songwriters of America. For David, it seems truly a crossing of old and new technologies - warm, wooden, acoustic instruments recorded on state-of-the-art Sonoma DSD equipment. Also crossing exciting new tracks (the gritty, gunslinger Dobro of "Morning Light/Western Town," the vivid, honest imagery of"Crossing," and the signature David Elias way of making a yearning, existential paean sound hopeful, as in "One More Savior") while breathing new life into a few of David's classic tunes ("Mend My Mind," "Heaven's Destiny," and "Changing Down"). But the real irony of David Elias' "Crossing" is the friendly way it greets you ears on first listen, and then finds it's way into your heart thereafter. And once that happens, you're a fan for life. Lucky for us, David's prolific songwriting keeps us fed with gems like "Crossing.""

David has a winner with this disc!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I'm a big fan of multichannel and this disc doesn't disappoint. The 5.1 mix is outstanding; great separation on all channels. I believe the way this disc was recorded it the main reason why it sounds so good. Thank you David. Hope you continue to produce multichannel music in the future."
