Show Me What Love Is-SpellJammer Feat Slap Johnson - AllenV

Thank you so much Marie,appreciated but never necessary as I feel giving and sharing is only right since I've been blessed with a talent that never is a chore and wonderful talented friends also...I have no choice but to give back anytime I can and am very happy to do so!

Allen.

Ed!!
How did I miss this review...I gotta get my priority's straight.

Thank you so much and these guys deserve so much credit.
It's interesting how Spell and I do these tracks,he sends me the complete produced song with percussion,keys,bass..it's his melody.
I layer guitar tracks around Spell's but on this one I backed out the guitars and added Slap's sax first then worked around both of them.
It took me quite a while but working with this talent and the outcome was worth it.

I appreciate your listen and review my friend!
Allen

Thanks again Baggettcindy,I appreciate your review and agree with your comment!

Allen

Thanks for this great review CyberSon!
SpellJammer had the wonderful melody and I just worked around it.
Everything fell into place when Slap joined in.

Thanks again,your comment is greatly appreciated by all involved.
Allen

Thanks so much Matthew!
The really cool thing about this track and Slaps part is that he played along with our track,we didn't use any loops from his awesome library..which would have been fine but this really brings him into the collaboration.

They both deserve all the credit..SpellJammer can always bring out the best in me,without him I would just play a bunch of old Van Halen licks :)

Thanks again,your review is very encouraging.

Allen

Thanks Jkingz!These guy's make it fun and easy to play.
I never could have done anything like this without them!
Thanks for the review.

Allen

Thank you for the great comment Haro,the credit goes to my collaborators!

Allen

Thank you Jcan...I play by ear and just follow the foundation that is given me and SpellJammer and Slap helped me build a nice house!
I appreciate your review of this and we hope to get Slap back in our tunes.

Allen

Gord!!!Sorry I missed your review.Thank you so much my friend,we love sharing these songs,i'm living a dream to play with these guys!
The best to you also!

Allen

Thank you my friend,I'm looking forward to the new year and new music from all of us!

Allen

Sourmango!Thanks for checkin this out and commenting.
One of my favorite words for SpellJammer and Slap is smooth also.I'm glad you enjoyed it cause it was a joy for me to play on this!
At some point we hope to convince Slap to do another with us..I can't credit him enough for the magic he did on this tune!

Allen

Thank you SBM!This would be a great team to tour with,I am spoiled now for sure..playing live is not the same without all this looper talent :)

Thanks again!
Allen

Thank you Daniel!I'm always torn between my love of rock and smooth clean guitar so I'm trying to have both...if possible!These collabs have brought out some of the most enjoyable music I have ever played.
Between Kikajon and SpellJammer I'm a very lucky man!

Allen

Thank you my friend!These guys make it easy to sound good,I just play along :)

Allen

And a G'day mate to you Estefano!
I'm not joking when I say that we work hard on these songs,Spell and I..I thought I would never be satisfied with the mix and there was a lot to mix...lol!We do pour our hearts in this and I'm pleased when that can be heard.Slap spoiled us with his addition so maybe we can petition him back for another!
Thank you for your support,it's why we're working on ideas for the next one :)

Allen

Thank you very much Steinaa.I agree that genres can get in the way of some good songs and I know I've missed some great tunes myself because of that fact.
This was such a group effort.I am always pleased to start with a well crafted melody from SpellJammer,complete with all keys and percussion and his quality out the gate is fantastic so a lot of work has been done right there.I do spend long days layering in guitars around him and more time mixing,to me that's the key and eats a lot of time but I haven't found a way around it...Fun yet work,with a payoff and Slap Johnsons sax really completed the feel we were shooting for.Nothing is scripted here so these songs from Spell and I take some time to complete...we can't push em out very fast and they remain very much inspired,they inspire me to do more and I hope they do for you.
No lie my friend...I have both versions of your song Remember Me on my mp3 playlist at home...it moves me every time!
Thanks again,

Allen

Hey BM,Thanks for listening...this is why we do it,for positive reviews like yours!

Oh....and a zillion dollars would be cool too :)
Allen

Thank you Chriss...I keep saying it,surround yourself with these talented people and they will pull the best out of you..or at least you'll try!

Thanks again!
Allen

Hey Becca!Thanks so much for those nice words,I do appreciate them and your talent also.When we all get caught up we really should do something together,I am a fan and need to visit you more,you went from a couple of songs to a lot...fast..I can't keep up :)

Allen

Hello John,how are you!I am very fortunate to get to work with so many talented people...you gotta spare song?
Thanks for the review and Fav :)

Allen

Hey Jim!I appreciate that...thanks for checkin' it out!

Allen

Thanks again haven!I'm glad it worked...I got a little nervous at times...I thought I would never be satisfied,matter of fact I still hear things I would like to change but if I don't move on I won't ever make any more music...lol!

AV

Hello Alen!Thanks for stopping by and listening to the song and you know I appreciate your comments.
It was a pleasure to play with these guys!
You know you were the first one I collabed with on the site...I still love that song :)

Allen

Thank you for the very wonderful descriptive review,
I'm pleased we could further your listening journey!

Allen

Hey haven!That would be SpellJammer on keys,he does a great job.I appreciate your mix comment,I didn't realize just how much work goes into mixing.I kid you not...I have at least 8 or more mixs of this...I couldn't make up my mind and the more I mixed,the more I wanted to mix lol.One challenge was that Slap played to the track minus guitars and as I added them the dynamics changed so I had to adjust his levels real time,I couldn't just set it and leave it...lol.Another learning experience but I'm glad it payed off and you enjoyed the song!

Allen

Thanks Kieser!These guy's make it very enjoyable and smooth is a great complement since thats what we were shootin' for.
