Rolling Stone Article On Easley-McCain Fire

No further news is available, but I can tell you everyone I have talked to here in Memphis is totally bummed out right now. We are all just quietly saying a prayer for everyone involved in the studio & the many bands who had master recordings stored there. The big loss, besides obviously a plethora of important memorabilia and the wonderful memories associated with the studio, could well prove to be master recordings by several different artists. This story is pretty much all we know right now.

As someone on the Goner Records board so aptly put it, "I feel like someone I know just died".

UPDATE: Andria Lisle and Chris Davis have some further information on the fire at the Memphis Flyer website. According to Andria, "The echo chambers and the master tapes stored at this facility appear intact, but studio owners Doug Easley and Davis McCain won't know the full extent of damage until after an insurance inspection later this week." This may be a small sigh of relief for several bands whom I know that have been working at Easley-McCain recently. Hold tight everyone.
