Forbidden Blues at Coastal Trek

Dobro virtuoso Doug Cox, with longtime friend and collaborator Delta Blues Master Sam Hurrie, came to Forbidden Plateau to record a new album in the great room of Coastal Trek Health and Fitness Resort. Renowned engineer Miles Wilkinson was recording the guys with his miraculous mobile set up. Three large boxes, a couple of strong people and roughly 45 minutes saw the lounge transformed into a recording studio. The naturally resonant sound produced from the Timber Frame vaulted ceiling had Doug and Sam sounding their comfortable best, singing and playing blues like few can. With Miles at the technical helm sixteen songs were recorded on day one and the entire album was mixed and mastered on day two, by all accounts a fast production with stunning and beautiful results. The album will be released in a few short weeks. Coastal Trek is excited to have been a part of this compelling and soulfull process.
