– Showcases Kotzen’s soulful, bluesy vocal range.
Open-back headphones (like the Sennheiser HD series) are ideal for hearing the "air" in the vocal harmonies.
Since Kotzen drums on the record, his hi-hat and ride cymbal work is energetic but not over-compressed. In the ballad "Love Is Blind," the shimmer of the ride cymbal decays naturally across the stereo field. Lossy codecs struggle with cymbal decay, often cutting it off prematurely or introducing a watery "swish" artifact. FLAC preserves the metallic air exactly as Kotzen heard it in his monitors.
Released on Headroom-Inc, 24 Hours arrived at a time when the music industry was fracturing, yet Kotzen’s vision remained laser-focused. The album is a masterclass in production. Unlike his earlier work, which often favored high-gain aggression, 24 Hours offers a warm, analog-feeling soundscape.
