I bought an advance copy of Ultraspontane at his show last month and can hardly stop listening to it. There is some great music on it. (I'm even starting to like the stuff I don't like so much!)
I ordered "After You've Gone" from Jorgenson about 6 mos ago & was slightly annoyed that it was a CD-R with inkjet cover in a slimline jewel box. Sure, it sounds fine, but I paid $20 for it and would have preferred to know what I was buying. Is the one you have a CD-R also?
A friend who toured with John at that time told me a weird story that John's wife was an A&R type at Curb Records but even with that connection, Jorgenson had to foot the bill for the whole project, if they would release and distribute it. Apparently they didn't want to re-issue it as well (I have a CDA re-issue of it that I bought several years ago). Personnel includes David Grisman and Darol Anger on the hot club numbers. Worth checking out.

What a player.
I think it was recorded in 1988 ?
