Description : Ok! This is more of an up tempo Mod style track. Great bands like the Small faces, the Who, The Kinks is where the inspiration has been drawn from. I have added the toaster doing the off beat chant that swings the track back into the Ska genre even though the track is quite rocky.
A nine piece horn section sets the GSN trade mark sound. I have panned the guitar tracks so they don't get lost in the mix and added a change of feel through the middle solo section. Again all comments are most welcome, and I thank you in advance for taking the time to listen...

Cheers Slap...

It's a good thing we don't have a limit of what we can favorite here.... cause I'd have it full really soon I think. Dude... seriously this stuff is KILLER. You're an amazing musician, and these tracks are just such a great example of it. It takes a lot of thought for someone like me to put together a track with just a simple beat... but these are so complex with the bass and the horns and the fast paced vocals... I am just in awe.

You sir, rock :)

Smashing Good Slap. I have been gone for awhile but it is nice to hear some of the looper legends again. Sound quality is pro as usual, your sax work is damn tasty as is the whole track. Very nice work.

Nice! Sound quality is excellent! There is alot going on in this track, I love it. Sounds very top notch!I love that you play live instruments! not to many people do it and do it well. I'd have to say that you are one of them that do it and do it well. This is why you are a superstar here on Looperman.I will have to check out some more of your work!
