    Definitely got a rocky, country blues thing going on. Great live guitar take too. Play it with a live band in the right kind of bar & the audience would love it. This is a very clean, professional sounding track. Great job.

    Thanks!

    Someone on youtube did a professional video for it filmed in L.A. where they were able to digitally remove all the vehicles on the highways and streets while people skateboarded down empty once busy roads. But the guy took it down, bummer.

    Appreciate the comments, sorry for the late response.

    Very fantastic rock piece you two have created here!

    The guitar is obviously a driving force here, but all aspects come together to make this such a potent song. I found your vocal work to be a bit out of the usual that I would expect on your profile, and in a very good way. Soon after they came in, I started thinking about Primus, or more specifically Primus songs which are not as much based around insane fretless classical style wandering bass solos, but more based around rocking out and making a lyrical point. I'm sure the rural twang in your voice added to this impression, but it was also the guitar parts which reminded me a lot of the style of Larry LaLonde.

    This political climate is surely an interesting and frustrating state of affairs. The election year and the year since has finished the job of ruining my trust in our current system. I will most likely discontinue voting for federal officials until the electoral college is done away with. I can no longer consider myself a liberal, and that term seems to be more of an insult than anything now. I can barely see the lines between republicans and democrats, nor can I believe that things would be much different if things had turned out different in the election.

    It's funny in a way... last month I got elected to our neighborhood association board as the "neighborhood development chair." I was to be a go between from the citizens to the government agencies (city council, parks board, etc...). The position lasted all of two weeks before I was forced to step down. In discussing neighborhood issues with some citizens, and then having several of my responses censored by other board members, I realized all at once that there was no way I could represent these people. They offended me, I offended them, I wanted nothing to do with their plans, and they wanted nothing to do with my suggestions. It all comes down to too many people who are not willing to be part of the solution, but are all too prepared to contribute to the problems they complain about.

    Sorry, I guess your song just brought things up, which is a good thing! People need to start thinking and observing more deeply, rather than just letting everything get out of hand.

    I really enjoyed the song my friend! Thank you for the DL! Big FAVE!

    Thanks Spiv. Yeah, the political climate sure is a little crazy these days.

    I know what you mean when you were describing your neighborhood political rise and subsequent fall. I told people not to vote in the last prez election because the candidates were lacking in believe-ability, honesty and integrity. As I am not a hypocrite, I couldn't bring myself to support people I don't believe in. Yet I was told it was wrong not to vote your conscience and to not vote. My conscience is clear and have no regrets not supporting any of the candidates yet I'm sure those people who scolded me are regretting their decision to support either candidate.

    Thanks man, appreciate the comment and keep believing in what you believe in.

    Cheers!

    This is really a nice one. Has this "live" play something that makes songs like this so real. Everything is cool in this song and well played. The mix is nicely made. I enjoyed the listen really. Rock on Wayne.

    Thanks, appreciate the comment!

    Getting that live feel is how I want it to sound, my songs happen to have that feel somehow and I like it. Recorded music should sound like a band is performing it, sometimes songs sound flat and too polished when perfection is the goal. And there is nothing perfect about my mixes, ha.

    Wayne, this has a nice throw back sound to it, I really like your vocals with this, they go really well with the style of the track. Jim's guitar is awesome, has a great tone and really cool licks to it. Thanks for sharing this and has a great sound that we don't always get here on the loop.

    Thanks Kyle! Jim can play the guitar really good and it's fun to watch him play. One hell of a stand up bass player too! I hope to get some tracks of him playing on one of many vintage Kay basses he has.

    Appreciate your visit!

    fantastic track Wayne

    raw and dry...it comes from the viscera...very, very cool...

    that guitar tone is too good...like plug in, volume max. and play...

    vocs are also good, specially in the chorus where you are the backgrounder for yourself, I guess...

    all in all, one of your best, handshake, Danke

    Reply by theHumps

    Thank you! I did all the backups on the track. When Jim comes over he usually plays a lot louder than I do when I record guitar. Along with his attack on the strings, it seems to make a big difference, made me rethink playing, recording and mixing guitars a little different.

    We're working on a couple more and I ask him not to work the parts out so they sound rehearsed. He works on them a little to get the feel of the track and as I like to get his first instinctual musical ideas recorded, we open a new audio track and let him rip and keep doing it till we both feel we got something. Every track is real good but different in it's own way. It's fun to work with him and watch him play, humbling, yeah...

    Cheers!

    hello Wayne :)

    what i mean by writing "chris spedding"?
    i apologize but it will be easier for me to copy paste informations about Chris spedding from wikipedia :) i thought you knew him lol

    Christopher John "Chris" Spedding (born Peter Robinson, 17 June 1944)[1] is an English musician, singer, guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and record producer. In a career spanning more than 40 years, Spedding is best known for his studio session work. By the early 1970s, he had become one of the most sought-after session guitarists in England. Spedding has played on and produced many albums and singles. He has also been a member of eleven rock bands: The Battered Ornaments, Frank Ricotti Quartet, King Mob, Mike Batt and Friends, Necessaries, Nucleus, Ricky Norton, Sharks, Trigger, and The Wombles.

    AllMusic has described Spedding as "one of the UK's most versatile session guitarists, [he] has had a long career on two continents that saw him tackle nearly every style of rock and roll, as well as sporadically attempting a solo career. The fact that he never quite broke through to stardom, except in his native England and parts of Europe, and in professional music circles, is more a result of bad timing and worse luck than any lack of talent or commitment on his part."[1]

    Spedding pursued a solo career and released his debut album Songs Without Words in 1970. Since then, he has released fourteen studio albums, and two live albums. His solo albums have met no success, failing to chart anywhere, while his only single to chart was "Motor Bikin'"

    Ahhhhhh. Well thanks so much for informing me of that, I was unaware of Mr. Spedding but now I have something to look up and explore.

    Things make a bit more sense now. ;)

    Hi Wayne,

    Absolutely refreshing to hear something like this... very welcoming collab...rough and straightforward in best of ways. Besides, it's very nice to hear you in excellent vocal form which makes very strong element of the tune...man you can sing really well! Thumbs up!:)

    Compliments_____Leon

    Reply by theHumps

    Hiya Leon! Jim has the ability to play the rhythm and lead parts at the same time and the little tasty crunches between the phrasing, I think, adds to the whole way he plays. I asked him to give me separate rhythm and lead tracks too and with the bunch of tracks he game me I had way more than enough material to make something.

    The vox I just went for, I'm not a lead singer, more a backup singer. But it's fun to belt it out so why not throw some singing down, it is what it is, ha!

    Thanks!

    Hi Wayne,
    Good to hear something so "fresh"!
    I like this song a lot: it has some touches of the Clash of the beginnings (Give'Em/London), specially your voice and the rhythm section: Clash never had such a great solo guitar player :-)
    Good work on the bass ... and I would never believe that these drums are programmed: they sound so "live".
    Again... well done!
    Ciao, Domenico

    theHumps
    Reply by theHumps

    Thanks Domenico, Jim and I both love the Clash! Yeah, Jim's guitar playing eclipses anything Mick Jones could do. And when he can play the frets off a guitar(and stand up bass too)why not feature him? I'm certainly not a lead singer so his playing needs to stand out.

    I do a lot of chopping up of the drum midi files and notes to get a good enough variety of fills and interesting bits. I am able to separate the drums into 8 individual tracks in Ableton which allows for more options when it comes to editing and mixing the drums. EZ Drummer is adequate for me, it's midi of actual drummers playing live.

    Cheers!

    Hey Bleep! Chris isn't on this track, I sing on this one. And I'm not sure what you mean by "spedding", that is not familiar to me.

    Thanks again for stopping by! This one is all about Jim's guitar which really set the tone for this one, it's his musical idea but lately he's been a musical juggernaut! I hope to record some of Jim's own songs in the future and also have him help on a few of mine as well.

    Hope work wasn't too bad. Take care!

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
