An amazing storyteller, Alvin received incredible accolades for this recording including Stereophile's Record of the Month in August of 1998. It is a record of incredible depth, both sonically and lyrically. MFSL's engineers said, "When we heard the original analog master tape for the first time, everyone in the room's jaws dropped. The emotional experience of hearing what Alvin and his incredible band captured in the studio was absolutely stunning!" The Blasters rocketed out of California during the punk and new wave explosion writing great rockabilly originals and what they called in one of their hits, "American Music". When both brothers in the band finally released solo albums, it was lead guitarist Dave who was utterly transformed into a country noir chronicler and dust bowl balladeer. Each subsequent album refined his sound and songwriting and reached the highest standards with Blackjack David. It is a record of incredible depth, both sonically and lyrically. The SACD also features new liner notes from Dave Alvin and Americana newspaper columnist and music critic Dave Hoekstra. MFSL, also known as MOFI, properly known as MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB was the grandfather of all audiophile labels. Their LPs and CDs were highly sought after by audiophiles, because, quite simply, they were the best available at the time (most still are). Unfortunately the original MFSL company no longer exists. Thankfully, others have taken up the audiophile gauntlet, using the MFSL name to issue high quality, great sounding CD product...this is one such title...FACTORY SEALED no less!!
