Recording the albums!

We recorded the albums Studebakin' and Studebaker Rebel at the Max Stout Studio in beautiful downtown Skidmore, Missouri. We arrived in our 1963 Studebaker Champ 3/4 ton pickup truck.

Jim Calhoun

Scratch track rhythm and vocals were done first.
It is easy to be swamped when recording 20 songs in three days. Every phase had to go smoothly to reach the goal of 20 songs, performed and recorded well. The atmosphere was relaxed, which permitted the creative process to move right along.

Chris Calhoun

Candid shot while doing bass tracks.
Chris was surprised to see a camera in her face at the end of putting on the first bass track. She was able to get good tracks most of the material in just one take! The bass she is playing delivers a warm, woody, almost upright bass sound. It really records well.

Working hard laying down lead guitar tracks

To get the authentic "vintage" sound that this project needed, the Calhouns used only vintage instruments. The guitar Jim is playing is a 1965 Harmony Silhouette. The newest guitar used was a 1972 H22 Harmony bass, the oldest was a 1959 Harmony Monterey. Although a modern Roland JV1000 was used for several keyboard parts, when possible, a nice Hammond C3 Organ was used. The organ once belonged to Earl Lee Hooker, John Lee Hooker's cousin.

Mark Reinig

Max Stout Studio Manager and Engineer
Mark has a fine studio outfitted with GREAT equipment, and he is a top notch technician, but his biggest assets are his fantastic musical ear and unmatched patience! If you are looking for someone to record with, Mark is your man!

Dave Small

Recording Artist and Entertainer

Dave provided harmony vocals and a wonderful insight to several songs. Dave has a recent release on Max Stout Records called "One World". It is an outstanding album.  Click here to order a copy!

This 1964 Harmony Broadway was used as a lead guitar for two cuts and as a rhythm guitar is several others.

Sometimes our flash malfunctioned, but Chris still struck a pretty pose!

Jim gets serious with a riff!

Chris recorded all of the keyboard tracks.

She used both a Roland JV1000 and a Hammond C3 Organ

Giving a song some bluegrass flavor with the mandolin.

Mandolin was used as a lead instrument on one song and as a rhythm instrument on another. It just "felt right".

Recording the only fiddle part on the project, in the song "What Kind of Picker Are You".
