I just finished mastering Austin Stahl’s (Private Eleanor, Small Sur) first solo record, The Things You Carry. It’s a great record. Wonderful lyrics and beautiful melodies. He recorded it on his cassette 8-track at his house. You can download the record for free here.

There’s also a bonus record called 1982 which is his birth year and contains songs released that year. My favorite is definitely the Bruce Springsteen cover of “Used Cars”.
