Late Night at Largo is a live album by Tom Brosseau. The album was produced by Mark Flanagan and engineered by Scott Fritz at Largo in Los Angeles, California.

Album insight

There was no audience present during the recording of Late Night at Largo, as it was recorded after the nightclub's open hours. "How To Grow A Woman From The Ground", "Maryanne", "Lonesome Valley", and "Fragile Mind" were later included on Brosseau's FatCat Records debut, Empty Houses Are Lonely.

Packaging

Stumptown Printers of Portland, Oregon created custom packaging for Late Night at Largo, which features a 6-panel recycled cardboard Compact Disc holder, liner notes printed on recycled paper, complete with a watermark, and soy-based ink. This album was released independently on Compact Disc only.

Guitar

Tom Brosseau used a dreadnought acoustic guitar for the recording of Late Night at Largo, manufactured by the Santa Cruz Guitar Company in Santa Cruz, California. Engineer Scott Fritz mixed the album using both the guitar's Highlander iP-1 Pickup and Preamp system and a common room microphone. Details of this setup were photographed by Mark Flanagan and used as paneling shots for the Compact Disc packaging.

Original Liner notes

12 songs recorded live at Largo, 432 N. Fairfax, Los Angeles, California. No audience, one microphone — the chairs were put on the tables, the waitresses and staff clocked out, the lights were turned down, a little traffic on the street, some people walking by on the sidewalk. The songs were performed to an empty room.
