Work of a real musician - the details are so crazy. Real uplifting funny bluesbrother - good job, not my music, but makes me smile (and i dont smile that often if u watch my avatar, hehe). That transition around 3:20 is great built up. And the mix is real outstanding!
Glad I could bring a smile to you. Actually, it's not really my style either. I'm more of a jazz and funk guy, but my training in music is quite genre extensive, that sometimes earlier training just kinda makes it's way into something I'm working on, so I just go for it.
Feelgood song with that pro bass line from the first row...Man, it is smiling and smiling and smiling...so happy and of course dangerously super technically...hahh...no words, I'm looking for but don't find the proper one...outstanding...thanx for the upload Scott, Danke
So glad you like it and took time to comment. I appreciate you mentioning the mix. Allot of times it will sound very different on others system, so it's good to know the mix is good.
I agree with static it has that blues brothers sound to it all day lol. I haven't herd a lot of tracks like this on looperman always nice to switch things up and listen to some new stuff. very good job.
Well this is a crazy bit of gospel-jazz Blues Brothers madness that would go nicely in that film. Extremely energetic and good for some silly dancing and for soundtracking some farce scenes.
They're mostly not my kind of sounds but I totally appreciate all the work that's gone into it. Also, very impressive for one guy doing it all(just you, right?) as it has a lot of very natural, unsequenced feel.
Actually, this is so damn energetic that it's probably too long (haha, that's coming from a guy who makes 18 minute tracks) so this is definitely one to completely tire people out on the dancefloor.
When are you going to do some more spaghetti Western?
Thanks, SN. I appreciate your listen and comment. I did use some loops with this one, so not all me. To be honest, when I do a track I don't usually have a particular genre in mind. I'll get about half of it done, than it begins to take direction of where it's going. Than when I determine what it's sounding like, I further that direction. This one started sounding like a gospel holy roller type sound, so I said, 'who am I to argue' than took it there! Even when I work with Franco, Ferryterry, I'll hear something he didn't and take it the way I hear it, and it usually works out to both our liking...but I digress.
If fate takes me towards another spaghetti western track, I'll do another...Who knows.
Glad you tracked this one down. Always look forward to your comments of my tracks. Yep, love my oldies and since they don't make new oldies anymore, I have to create them myself!
And wishing you a prosperous and melodic New Year as well!
This is so cool, absolutely love the funky vibe you have here. Great bass, sweet guitar, LOVE the LALALA's!!!! Some nice musicianship and song construction, all the instruments get their moment in the sunshine in some way. Great horn tracks, you play?
Thanks allot, Wayne. I really appreciate your kind words. Unfortunately, I can't find much of todays music that I like enough to put in my collection, so I love creating music that sounds like it is not from the last few decades. I guess you know your getting old when you say, 'today's music just aint what it use to be!'
what do i think.em well i love it my friend. really nice vibe and the vocals really compliment the style with all those drum roll offs just adding depth and character. nice
Thanks allot, Cosmic. Glad you like my track. I don't think I've heard from you before, so I appreciate you chiming in and hitting me up with your kind words.
Well....you up an went funky on us in the very best of ways Scott...Haha...this is great stuff man...just the kind of uplifting listening that gets a smile going & the parts moving...70s were absolutely great funk years...although I would have to confess I hadn`t heard it until James E Brown (The Godfather) hit the airways...& how could you not love what was going on....I a big B3 organ fan since Green Onion days (yeah I`m that old)..haha...super job on this one Scott....Best of the season to you...Ed
Hey, Ed, always a pleasure to hear from you and reading your kind words. Yeah, I think the majority of my music collection is made up of the 70's. Don't feel bad...Green Onion and other Booker T and the MGs songs are sitting proudly in my collection, and who, of our age, doesn't like The Godfather!
Super cool track here! I'm loving the wah guitars very much, and I can't get enough vintage organ, so this does it for me! Definitely an uplifting vibe! I think it would be funny to fill out the lyrics tab with "La la la la" or something like that... he he... Each part of the song has it's own vibe, which I like. Very good mixing on this one too, it sounds pretty vintage! Sweet track!
Thanks, Spivkurl. That is exactly what I was going for. I love that old 60's and 70's sound and instruments. I will be doing much more of this stuff in the future, in between the Latin/jazz stuff I do with Franco.
I took your suggestion about adding the la la's to the lyrics tab...Thanks!
You are right, Danke. I didn't notice the similarity to the Status Quo song, but now that you mention it, it does have that same sound. I guess it's a tremolo sound? You would know better, but it was that 60's sound that was used allot back than. I love the fact that I can create old music, today. I'm so glad you and a few others here feel the same way. I think if an actual band did this, they would find they could make some good bucks!
Great title too. So nice to hear drumming like that (excellent toms!) and good structure. Solo (2.55) is so full of life! The only thing is I was feeling like a bridge was missing (2 other chords repeated to get us back to the G / F / C / Bb) but the breaks are perfectly placed and lovely 1960's 'stereo recording' (hard left / right instrument panning for those lucky people with 'stereo' record decks!).
Top work, beautifully recorded and just...full of happy.
Thanks allot, Maff. I really appreciate your kind words. I always wondered if anyone else remembered the hard left and right panning of the early days. I have thousands of the early stuff and sometimes it's hard to get a good sound with today's hi tech equipment.
Scott, what a beautiful tribute to your sister. I'm sure she is smiling as she listens to it (I know I am). You have mad skills my friend, and this track shows them off nicely.
Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Sensational in every way possible.
Thanks so much, Bear. I appreciate your kind words and compliment to me. It's high praise coming from you. I have been following your talents for quite some time. I also have tons of your loops from here.
Beautiful track. You did an amazing job with this, especially as a memorial. I am deeply sorry to hear about the loss. I do wish you and the family well. Phenomenal piece!
Wow Scott! This is great! Some nice drum playing you got going on. I also love the acoustics in this piece. Excellent work my friend! Got this in my favs. =B-)
Hey there sorry to hear of your loss. Stay strong. Hints of a pop ballad and r&b in there as well. Your drumming is exceptional, as sparse as it is. Nice song. Good times and Happy vibes from this one =)
Thanks, RS. I appreciate you checking out my track and hitting me with your kind words. I haven't noticed you before. Will have to check out your music.
I too have a problem with terrible old sound quality though one of my favourite groups is a 30s/40s gospel group called The Golden Gate Quartet.
Anyway, this is very cool though the quality of the brass starting on 1:14 is a problem.
Drums are great, so's the sax and guitar and violin. Sounds like lots of fun to make.
This could be even better with some improvements in the sounds.
Please check out a live harmonica looper called Son Of Dave as he makes cool modern versions of old music - a bit like what you've done here, except all he uses is his voice and harmonica. He has a few good albums.

I thought I'd post something a bit different. You don't usually see a rocking gospel track here.
You ended my evening with a smile!
