Mark Wayne, Producer and Multi-Instrumentalist (including steel guitar, dobro,upright bass, guitar and drums) Wisconsin, USA

I met Lou Ferguson years ago seeking advice on some recording issues.  I quickly learned about not only the caliber of gear in his recording facility, but his knowledge to implement such equipment to bring out in his clients the highest level of passion and professionalism possible.  All that is important, but equally valuable is the comfort level you experience when you record at Lou's studio.   

In tandem with second to none service in recording, is Lou's ability as a songwriters' songwriter.  When you hear Lou's songs, it no surprise that few can match how his lyrics and melodies 'take us away from it all,' simply making us feel better.  We all need that.  

I'm honored to know the Producer and the Songwriter:  a refreshing, real, generous, and brilliant individual... Lou Ferguson."

Along with that, I found Lou to be a highly personable and thoughtful human being, which added an element of warmth and friendship to the recording adventure."

Lou showed himself to be knowledgeable, confident, and dedicated to getting the sound I was after. I had a great time recording; Lou was helpful and encouraging at every step of the process. He genuinely loves music, and that shows in the recording, editing, and mixdown. Wonderful process, excellent results.
