I thought I would put this out there. This is going to be available as a digital download presumably 16/44 Flac. I've already asked this question on Leonard's official site but no one knows or has bothered to answer.

Will this be available in 24/96 or 192? Because it should be.

I've already downloaded a flac version 16/44 from some site on the web and it was better than the Canadian stream which I thought for a stream was pretty good.

What I have so far is a superb sounding collection of tracks very skillfully recorded.

I went to his live concert and heard one of the best live sounds, in a hard to get sound right, venue. His backing musicians/singers are outstanding and a pleasure to hear live.

Thoroughly recommend this new album some of which he did play live at the concert ie: Banjo.

Another big vote for this album.  Just listened to four songs and thoroughly enjoyed Leonard and this newest iteration of XXHE.
