     Check out this marketing gimmick. Maybe the pope should sanctify him.

     Yeah. I think the recording sounds a bit too good. Whoever mixed it is either an unknown prodigy or an experience sound engineer (or even engineers). This is a little higher quality than a local studio or home mix. I'm not buying his story either. He's a product.
     
     I would go even further and question whether he wrote the songs at all, or if he did, whether he (or someone else) hired a professional song writer to arrange them. While they are simple in form, being simple is harder than most people realize. A lot of producers spend a lot of time simplifying the arrangement to make the songs they're producing more palletable to the general public.

     It would likely take someone more talented than Johnny Cash and the Carter family to write and produce the quantity and quality of songs that’s being claimed.

     Machismo repeated this.

     It would probably be difficult to reverse engineer exactly what they did to make that production. It does seem as if it was a professional production though.

     It’s unlikely that anyone can to obtain that clean of a recording in the country. The sound of nature (wind, leaves rustling, animals, etc.) never stops. They didn’t even bother putting foam on the mic. The vocals likely came from a good-quality sound room using a high-quality mic. The guitar also sounds extremely clean.

     The camera having multiple shots is another giveaway. One person rusting around to take multiple camera shots would have likely also been picked up by a good mic. Also, the camera image quality is very good. A good-quality lens (look at the ability to focus) would have been needed. This wasn’t shot on a shoestring budget. This was likely produced using nice equipment.

     They’re trying to sell a story that isn’t plausible. The guy isn’t genuine.

     @Humpleupagus nah, not a chance. The vocals sound much closer mic'd than shown in the video. The guitar is too rich to be purely using the piezo. And besides, there are multiple camera shots. The way this is done in practice is 1 camera man, and multiple takes.

     Although I kinda want to get one of those guitars now.

     That was my opinion too. I just wanted to know if another audio guy thought the same thing. The vocals also sound cleaned up to me, possibly pitch corrected with the noise removed with something like waves z-noise. They're almost a bit too smooth. I also don't hear any significant sibilance or pops, which suggests it's been de-essed and compressed. The heavy reverb hides a lot though, so it's hard to tell.
