I met Matt Ross-Spang thanks to Mark Rubel.
Mark was an amazing knowledge and super generous chap who sadly died not so long ago. RIP to that legend.
I'll never forget that trip to visit some of America's most amazing studios.
We toured most of the iconic rooms in Memphis which is the city where Matt Ross-Spang has always resided.
We went to Sun where Elvis, Johnny Cash, Howlin’ Wolf all recorded and then on to Sam Philips recording service which Matt helped restore to its former glory. What a place! Just full of history and so beautiful both aesthetically and sonically.
Matt has had quite the journey.
He started interning at Sun Studios as a teen and now he has been awarded the key to the city of Memphis!
Somewhere in the middle of this wild ride is what we spend of our time chatting about in this pod.
From humble beginnings to mixing Elvis, getting those Grammy’s and the key to the city of Memphis, Matt has seen and heard an awful lot of good stuff!
