I just bought a new Epiphone "inspired by Gibson" Les Paul Standard and a newly reissued The Guv'nor guitar pedal. A lot of sound for the buck. And I do like to mix my drums loud. Form years of band practice and playing in clubs, the drums always are the loudest thing in the room. Unless you have "that" guitarist, lol.

I mixed this one for 2 months and still am not overly excited about the mix. Just needed to move along and post it.
Take care man!

The distorted vocals is something I've been messing around with lately. When all you've done in the past is a normal matching backup or harmony with some reverb or delay it can get old so I've been playing with overdrive as an option. I appreciate the good feedback though!

A few bands influenced me, Wolfmother and the Guess Who and the Sheepdogs come to mind.
The Guess Who and the Sheepdogs, great Canadian bands, eh.
Thanks

A few weeks back I bought a new "inspired by Gibson" 60's Epiphone Les Paul Smokehouse Burst and a newly re-released "The Guv'nor" Marshall amp emulator pedal, the JCM 800 is the amp it is based on. Totally new sound and gives me a new approach to making music, harder edge. It's pretty awesome!

This is a very cool strange macabre song. absolutely unique as a piece of art. Great work. Makes me think of the film Stand by me.
I was wondering if anyone would mention Stand By Me as it did come to mind as I was penning this one. It's a little dark I suppose but not meant to be, it just has that "off" sort of feel to it.

This is so surrealisticly cool :-)
That mandolin kinda guitar is gorgeous at around 1.20 ... the whole one is a bit Nick Cave like for me ... dark alt one ...
I know, I wrote many times but this is one of your best bro ... :-)
fistbump with my like and dl of course,
Danke
This one came together and I was surprised myself by the overall sound and feel of it, a happy accident as my favorite painter Bob Ross would say. I wasn't going to add any vocals at first because it was different sounding and I liked it. I didn't want to mess it up by adding vocals.
Alt/rock but no genre here. That Nick Cave is such a bad seed. sorry.lol

An interesting subject matter for a song I thought.
Hey, check out this hour long lecture from Gresham College that a professor, Carolin Roberts, gave about the science that happens when a body is found in a river. She is a specialist, it's pretty interesting.

I watch a lot of lectures from universities all over the world about interesting topics, mostly scientific. Weird subject matters can inspire interesting songs.

Glad you laughed at a man in a mid life crisis with a scandalous woman he randomly meets. Like an episode of Married with Children with Al Bundy. lol

That's a fresh song.
Something funny. Something dynamic. Something raw or rather wild.
Something crazy. ..... So many something.
Is it too many? NO, certainly not.
It's like cooking, there could/should be some spices in it.
For all those who thought that they would get something here that was almost tasteless and for those who hoped to get boring monotony here, this POP song is probably not for them.
But I liked it and I would like to have another plate full.
stay tuned

It turned out good, fun. Got a decent response to the humor in it while trying to keep it sounding serious at the same time.
Thanks Joe! Haven't seen you around much, be well man!

my first thought when I read your title "Kansas City" was "Les Humphries". That's not surprising, though, because Kansas City is basically indissolubly welded to Les Humphries in my mind.
It was a band, a group from the 70s, named after the founder, an Englishman living in Hamburg at that time, which had hit after hit ("Kansas City" was one of the biggest of them) in Germany in those years. You will hardly know Les Humphries, of course, but from my generation, even today, everyone in Germany certainly knows him at once.

Kansas City seems to dynamize... both with Les Humphries and with you! I really enjoyed listening to your version as well.

I did not Mr. Humphries till now, nor his song. When I first think of a KC song it's by Fats Domino, the classic.

You and the character in the song have fond memories of KC!

You are a writers writer.
I can feel the honesty in
every track I've ever heard
of yours. It's like you can translate
what you think into music with such ease.
Over the years I feel like I know you, just
from hearing your music.Always sounds LIVE...
Great track. Faved.. PEACE from the North...
I like writers that write simple straightforward songs like Eddie Spaghetti of the SuperSuckers or John Prine and Johnny Cash. Telling good stories comes across as honest music if you can get the listener to buy into the story you are selling as the singer.
Thanks Mr. Jynxz!
