I'm not a lead singer so my voice, when i sing, is what you're gonna get. I try my best but i'm not a lead singer. Ya need vocals in songs to work on mixing so I step up to the plate and sing if need be.
Just did a quick remix to tighten things up.
Appreciate you stopping and commenting!

on Switchblade ft Jimmy Stiles by theHumps
This is a wonderful, edgy rendition of Switchblade. This is what I call "dangerous" music. Go on witcha bad self. Bravo to Jimmy Stiles.
You're so right. Link Wray was ahead of his time. That pompador, swagger and talent influenced so many guitarists who are now revered.
My fav is his redition of "Unchain my heart":

Link was bad and cool without even trying. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Of course I'm marking this as a fave.

There are some good guitar simulation programs out there, they are getting better but it's nothing like a human performing with an instrument.
Appreciate the comments!

Hard to believe there are rnb and hip hop artists in the Rock n Roll HOF before Link Wray, what a shame he isn't in it when i consider him a founding father of r n r. Crazy....

fantastic groovy and yesss, it's hard nearly heavy :-)
your collab with Jimmy are always get a fantastic result as now...
just like a band play live in a festival at around the 70th...
thanx for the upload, fav, dl, handshake, Danke
I have a new idea going with Jim, just putting it together, a rockabilly cover. He plays by instinct, feel. When we record i ask him to prepare and listen to the song, play along with it but not to learn specific parts. He just lets it rip, i totally love this approach when working with him.

Outstanding guitar work. Kudos to Jimmy :-)
But you did your part very well: good production, solid bass line with a very consistent sound.
Keep up rocking!
Domenico
Yeah, Jim rocks, ha!
Thanks!

I learned to play acoustic on a Silvertone. Nice sound, bad action = bloody fingertips but honestly, I wish that borrowed guitar was still in my possession. Yup Danelectro made those for Sears.
Bass track i stuck to the original runs, no need to mess with that, used a 55 Gretch drum set in EZ Drummer, killer kick sound!
Thanks for stopping by, check out Norms Rare Guitars and their "guitar of the day" vids, completely awesome way to learn about guitars, especially the ones that matter.

on Snake Eyes ft Jimmy Stiles by theHumps
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!
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!

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.

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
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!
