The hiss you mention is caused by the process of recording to analog tape, which will always have a more apparent noise floor than recording in the digital realm. Johnson's last album was recorded with almost all analog gear if I remember correctly. Analog still sounds better than digital in pro audio, yet it will always have some noise floor present, the type of tape and brand of analog recorder will determine that.
