[Chesky Records]

Chesky Records is proud to be celebrating its 30th year of operation in 2016. One of the ways we're highlighting the tremendous catalog of artists we've recorded over the years is to ask you, the fans, who some of your favorites are.

Wow, Rebecca Pidgeon knocked out Amber Rubarth? Interesting. I bought Melissa Menago's new album and it's fantastic (definitely a must-have for audiophiles) but... Rebecca Pidgeon has my vote again.

 

[Brooko]

I have both albums already.  Melissa for me.

 

[JaeYoon]

This is too much for me. I cannot vote. XD it hurts too much to pick one.
 
I love both

 

[ViperGeek]

While I'm a big Rebecca Pidgeon fan, listening to "Little Crimes" by Melissa Menago sways my vote in her direction.  Such presence and natural personal vocals when listening through LCD-4's, I'll be grabbing this album off HD Tracks tonight.
 
And thanks for @Soundsgoodtome's comment about Amber Rubarth.  "Scribbled Folk Symphonies" is on my short list too.

Just 19 hours and this is closed again.
So, I miss out on voting for Rebecca Pidgeon again.
 
Something must be radically wrong with the running of this contest.

Ah, maybe her voice and the LCD-4s have better synergy. This hobby is crazy

Scribbled Folk Symphonies is a more mature album with great additions as far as the band goes. Musically much more pleasing and the room it was recorded is fantastic. Her "Songs" album also from Chesky is a great reference album if needing to test systems but imo musically is a bit bland. IMO of course

It probably doesn't hurt that "Little Crimes" is recorded as Binaural+.  That's almost cheating.

[Soundsgoodtome]

I think Amber Rubarth's Chesky records are binaural+ as well, Rebecca Pidgeon on the other hand is just stereo - really well done stereo.

I forgot to mention in my original reply, my (current) favorite album by Rebecca is Four Marys.  Many of the tracks are on my ever-morphing "Wow!" playlist: Texas Rangers, Fhear a Bhata, Johnnie Cope.  Pure headphone porn.

Yeah, pain in the rear- missing the chance to vote, and the discount code!

 

[Randy Myers]

I voted the last round (very sorry I missed this one ).... with the discount I picked up Melissa Menago... excellent album! However if I had been quicker on the draw (like last night since the night before I got Melissa recording) I still would have voted for Rebecca Pidgeon.

 

[Vigrith]

Right?! Rebecca is great but Amber's my favourite. Went with Melissa on this one though I already own both albums.

 

[Buddhahacker]

Wow. This voting closed fast.  I wasn't able to place my vote since I was tied up this week.  It would have been nice if for the final vote it would have been open a bit longer and possibly close on a weekend and not mid-week to ensure everyone chance.  It's ashame.

 

[Randy Myers]

Soooooo.... who won?
