Old Tyme Country - Randall822

Description : Here attached is a new country tune I put together using several loops I bought off a disk set. I call it 'Old Tyme Country' as it is close to being Bluegrass as well. (Bluegrass usually has a Mandoline, Fiddle and a 5-string Banjo, and a rhythm guitar at least).

This instrumental features no guitars or regular drums. Rhythm here is provided by a Dulcimer, a Shaker and a drum like instrument called a Djembe. (An instrument from Africa, looking like a tall Bongo drum)

An acoustic stand-up Bass is used along with a 4 string Banjo, and the Fiddle is the main instrument.
Put all these together and this is the sound you can have. Hope you'll like it.

Hi again Fila,

Thanks again for your comments here. Strange that I have only have 2 comments but 25 downloads...ha ha ha. Guess people do seem to like it as that is a good sign.

Yeah, that Djembe was a loop and I made it fit to the tempo. As you say, all the instruments I used makes more of a overall non-electric feel and down home sound. Guess all that was needed was a washboard bass and jawharp. Lol

Thanks again,
Randy

My chickens were a' cluckin' and dancin' to this one!
Needs some work around 1:00, most country songs don't usually stop and then start again as it gives hillbillies the opportunity to throw things at the drummer...you might try "breaking it down" as a transition (down to the beat for example).

Hello Stem0man,

Thanks for your comments on this old style country tune.
As for stopping in the middle of the song and starting over, I tend to do stuff like that.
Gives a fresh start. Since there were no drums in this tune, the instruments had to do all the work.
The song is about 2 minutes is all and thus gives the idea of the sound and style I wanted to get across.

Thanks again....I gave you a review back as well on your page.
Randy

I'm very lucky to be able to work with such talented people, and whenever I need them, they always answer the call. Rita, you deserve so much more. Thank you for being such a solid collaborator over the years. And Ci, thank you for being the spark that lit us on fire.

Description : Hmm, it's a very stressful week to wait for some biopsy results and then I made a decision - let's do something.
Surfing through the acapellas on Looperman I found quite interesting vocal track by RayKoefoed ( it's a 16 years old file ). Well, loved the lyrics either :)
Here we are - an electronic dance type track with a punk style singing.
The first time I was doing something like this:) :) :)
Chill out guys.

And here it is a "nightingale" singing in an unknown language (Aalle Elvish) in a fairytale world... Many thanks to Lesperado and Elven voice for this wonderful acapella ! (Please see lyrics in English).
This track, which I had uploaded last year too, required some extensive retouching. I hope you like it !
