The Audiophile Masters series has been one of our most loved projects at Octave Records. To celebrate Audiophile Masters Volume X, the 10th album in this series, we’ve recorded a special edition Covers Collection.

Well-known covers are something that have been requested many times by Octave fans, and we’ve had an excellent time creating this album for you! With some of our favorite voices and instrumentalists, we bring you the first in our new series of special edition Audiophile Masters albums. Recorded by Paul McGowan in Stereo Pure DSD 256.

This reference-style album takes us on a journey of classic covers done by modern artists. Kyle Donovan‘s voice soars on Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynard, blends beautifully with the vocals of Kate Farmer on Van Morrison’s Crazy Love and Can’t Help Falling in Love and gives us a simple yet elegant performance on John Lennon’s Imagine with Pamela Machala on piano accompaniment.

Tim Ostdiek and Jenny Balagna create beautiful harmonies on well-loved classics, Angel From Montgomery, Make You Feel My Love, Up Above My Head, and Cecilia. One of favorite Octave’s artists, Alicia Straka, closes out the album with her quartet on Let’s Fall In Love and Beyond The Sea.
