Description : This song is about 2 criminal brothers, one wants to call it quits, the other has a different idea. I knew before starting to record I wanted to do some Ring of Fire styled horns, which are OK for midi horns. Update: I edited the horns slightly, doubled the horns and eq'ed them to make them fuller in the mix and gave the whole song a once over.
Description : Every so often, like a couple nights ago, my neighbors across the street go out to their front lawn and have a rip roaring argument. They go outside, I guess to keep their 3 kids from hearing it. I can hear them fight with my headphones on, he. Well that's the inspiration for this track.
Description : Hard rock, a bit towards the punk end of things. Turned on the distortion on the Fender Downtown Express bass pedal and I'm playing my Epiphone Les Paul Standard using the Marshall Guv'nor guitar pedal. Moog Theremini theremin lead. Our character seems to be down on his luck.
Description : Here is a more modern cover of the classic Melanie Safka song that I loved as a child. Her voice was strong and haunting at times and her songs were powerful like her hit Lay Down. Look what I did to her song, electric guitars and harmonica, oh my.
Description : Ever think about your skin, what it does, where it starts for instance. Has a Moog theremini lead, Epiphone Les Paul, Martin D10 sapele acoustic, Fender Jaco Jazz bass, EZ Drummer, cocktail shaker, guiro, pop/rock. The title is Skin but had to change it to Skinn because the title needs to be 5 characters long. ugg
