Featured Mixes
Dan Daley is a musician and music journalist who divides his time between Nashville and New York. He recently brought us some 24-tracks from 39th Street Studios in the early 80s for us to restore. The lyrics and vocals are superb. We’ve got them ready for streaming release.
The tracks from this 1989 live recording were sent to us by a friend. We did albums with this band in the 70s, and had a blast with this remix of music from their reunion.
We were sent the 24-track master tape of some 1990 tracks by Nashville singer/songwriter Linda Hargrove. Linda wrote many hits for others, including “Tennessee Whiskey”. Here’s our mix of her rendition of “Let It Shine”.
Tommy Miles brought us a 24-track he recorded with Spooner Oldham in the 80s. Here’s our 2023 mix of one of the tunes.
Here’s the title song from Kay Vega’s album, released in his native Germany in 2024. We produced, sweetened and mixed based on arrangements and tracks from Tommy Harden. We produced the vocals remotely at Studio Wong in Berlin; thanks to engineer Olli Wong.
Brad Smith, a friend of TRC for decades, was a talented songwriter, and we recorded lots of his stuff. For some reason he recorded this tune twice, in 1983 and 1993, so he must have liked the song. Here’s our 2021 remix of the tracks we did in 1983.
We recorded albums for this iconic Indy rock band in the 70s, then a live performance in 1980 or so. We restored and remixed that 1980 tape in Nashville at our Studio Five.
The tracks from this 1989 live recording were sent to us by a friend. We did albums with these folks in the 70s, and had a blast with this remix of music from their reunion. This is Faith Band, with special guest Asher Benrubi.
Hannah Schaefer is a Christian artist who wanted to cross over to pop in 2017. She has real talent, so we produced up some demos of her pop tunes and shopped them to the labels. Her agent was negotiating a contract with a major label when she decided she wanted to stay in Christian, where we had no nibbles. Jake did a great job with all the instruments, arranging and engineering. Mike got to produce. Both mixed.
Chuckie Bush recorded and toured with “Baby Face” Edmonds, Manchild, and under his own name. This is the “A” side of his 1982 TRC Records release, produced with Gary Schatzlein and remixed by Mike in 2024.
Country
We found the 24-track master tape of a 1986 album by Jim Purdy that he thought was lost. Here’s our remix of his fabulous cover of an “Alabama” hit.
Kay Vega, a prolific country singer/songwriter from Berlin, released this song on his 2020 album. Arrangement and tracks by Tommy Harden. We built this American publishing demo with new vocals (Jackson G) and a TRC mix.
This 24-track master came over the transom. Recorded by the poorly-remembered Allison Hahn. But well done, and we enjoyed mixing it in 2025 (probably recorded in the late 80s). Anybody knows where she is, send her our way.
Our friend Allen Price is working on an album. For some demos, we’re doing the lead vocals and the mix. Here’s a link to his composition “Bendin’ Guitar Strings”.
We produce music for Kay Vega, a prolific singer/songwriter from Berlin, to distribute in the EU. His main genre is Americana, but this tune has the potential in the U.S. Jackson G sings this demo, with arrangements and tracks by Tommy Harden and production, vocals and mixing here at TRC. So far, not released here, so let us know if you want Kay’s tune.
Rock
Recorded and remixed in Nashville in 2023, this is part of our “21st Century Classic Rock” project to record 60s and 70s covers with current techniques. Thans for Rudiger for vocals and Jason Harris for guitars. Our favorite Faith Band song.
Larry Crane toured and recorded as lead guitarist with John Mellencamp for many years. This is from his self-titled album, recorded by us in Indy in 1984 and produced by Gary Schatzlein.
Our favorite Guess Who song. We riffed off the live version to create this in the studio.

Jingles
