Description : Genre Americana

A note of jazz and blues here. I think its a big one, but I think all my songs are big ones. Lol

You might need to read along with the lyrics, not sure how great this mix is. Maybe its good, I think I'm too close to it.

I turned up the vocals on the chours. So it should sound clearer now.

Amazing sax, great song!
Btw what I learned from Manuela: rather than turn up the vocals, it's sometimes better to compress the instruments and sidechain them to the vocals. This creates more space for the vocals.
Merry Christmas my friend!

I always use compression on my vocals. But I do not have much control over the instruments, I get the instrumental in full form I could buy track outs... But I dont have that kind of cash on hand.

This is very classy - classic soulful blues with your own twist- the lyric is great, the vocal performance is spot on and the production sound is excellent.

Thank you, Paul. Really, I treat looperman like an open mic, there's not too many places like it on the internet. Just a common crowd, almost like a small twitter circle. Or a group at a local bar or something, where we've all gotten to know each others work. I always try to bring a surprise.

Description : One another guy who ordered this track then didn't pay and doesn't respond to my messages.

Boogie crossover (its just a fragment), every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.

Almost 8 hours of work.

Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!

Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.

Enjoy and download away.

Description : A sultry, seductive, and fairly short acoustic blues number. It is an instrumental and only took about 2 hours to write, record, and get a decent mix. Enjoy! Updated: I added some slight echo to the electric guitar and widened the stereo fields of the acoustic rhythm and leads.

Description : Fresh out of the studio after 10 weeks of deliberating, planning, writing and performing.
This could be classed as Country Blues or Southern Rock...either way I think it may get your toes tapping. So grab your partner and jump on the dance floor with this one.
I am performing the following instruments...vocals, electric guitars, slide acoustic, bass, harmonica, organ. I wrote the following instrument parts in MIDI....drums, percussion, piano, horns. This was a beast to master but I think it turned out okay.
No loops used.

Description : guitar on right run thru my friends mesa rec 25. It has an absolutely gorgeous tone. The guitar playing D, C #, B is run thru guitar rig 6. The the pushed back guitar on the left is also run thru the mesa. My UNC chapel-hill decision letter is coming out tomorrow and I'm super stressed. Whipped out my guitar and recorded some stuff. Hope you like it.

I love Mike Dean

Description : UPDATE 26/01/2014: Improved loads of things in what is probably my greatest chillout alternative blues piece. Ambient, ethereal, groove-based delta slide blues. Contemplative and melodic. Multiple, layered , sometimes shimmering resonator guitar parts with solid, warm synth bass, an ethereal bed of pads (which are actually guitars) and second electronic drumkit to contrast the acoustic kits. I thought this was perfect a few years ago but it wasn't (and still isn't). Now has clearer drums and lots of small awkward bits of guitar have been trimmed. Quite a minimalistic and short piece for me - I don't just keep bringing in new instruments, as I usually do. This should really chill you out...

Description : This is for 3v3. I liked her vocals.I kept the name "Worth It" added a rap beat and keyboard.The problem I was having when using the vocals in Ableton Live it crackled some. Was going to add rap vocals then found out she's going to have a baby(my Daughter trying).
