I have to admit, I was not expecting something this smooth. This was outstanding work. This is one of them hidden gems you find by happy accident. I applaud your work on this one!
Hi, Ed. It's a rainy Saturday night in Ottawa. Pretty quiet. This track was exactly what I needed. Great RnB feel. You really nailed it. I like all kinds of genres, but RnB is for sure my favourite. Very tasty guitar work. Wasn't aware of SkiMidi's vocals. Definitely will check him out as you suggested. Like you, I've been on LM only sporadically but have resolved to visit more often and when I find a track like this one, I'm really happy I did.
thanks very much Eric. You can likely tell from the speed of my replies how much time I spend here.Gave up on finding acapellas as its all vocal fx and not really usable for actual music. Send some of that rain out here..its drier than a fart and unless that changes we`ll be missing farm crops this year. Just going to head over & see what you been up to..Ed
Ed! Good to see again! Also good to hear that sweet guitar again. Nice laid back track, has a bit of that vintage rnb feel to it. Keep at it pal, this is the fun part in life if you can keep doing it.
good to hear from you my friend. Guess I`m still addicted to this old guitar stuff as I can`t seem to quit.old widower now in a small apartment so guess its good to have the music to keep the juice flowing. big thanks for the kind comments Wayne. Besy to you and yours..Ed
Ed, how are you doing these days? I don't make it to the Looperman as much as I used to, so it's good to see a familiar "face" when I do, ya know?
I'd say this is an attempt that ended in success. It has a total retro-R&B sound. It goes without saying that I love your guitars. I always have. But I'm really digging the rhythm section on this one. It's got a great grove to it. The overall feel is very "summer-evening in the city". Like when you have no where to be, nothing to do, and time to just enjoy the moment, or moments if you're lucky enough to stay in that frame of mind.
Anyhow, good listen as always. I hope things are well with you.
Hi Aaron: good to hear from you man. Have hardly spent any time on LM myself the past few years. Been through a lot of changes here (its a long story) and I seem to be in a long mellow/chill kind of groove . Have kept some tracks posted on my SC page but really haven`t be very active there either. Big thanks for the generous comments my friend. Be over to check what you been up to shortly. Ed
The whole thing sounds quite lo-fi, which I find unusual for this style, but all the more interesting. And your guitar: So I can somehow hear the dear (God bless him) Eddie Hazel coming out of it...? A tiny bit? The sound, guitar and vocal track work excellently together. Compliment!
Cheers, Micky
ah yes Eddie was the funkmeister of guitar. Guess most everything I do would sound pretty lo fi Mickey..been playing since the 60s and dont know when to quit..not much interest in the canned commercial stuff that avoids compositional thinking (gees..I sound like my parents). Big thanks for the kind comments..cheers..Ed
Always appreciate comments on the production mate as my ears are half shot and so is my confidence in the mix..meters and old habits are my refuge...always good to hear from you dimestop. be over for a visit soon. cheers. Ed
and cheers back at ya. A sane person would know when to quit plunking on the old guitar but that leaves me out. Big thank for stopping by for a listen. Ed
HaHa..well my old friend, my ears are half shot and my fingers are failing but guess I am addicted as I can`t seem to quit. Great to hear from you. Be over to check out what you have been up to shortly. Cheers. Ed
This is a lounge great mircophone dropping the song. The bass if it had a sloghter stronger boost. It'd be an easy song to drop to a DJ playing Massive Attacks' Safe From Harm and people would think it came from the same band... or easily at any bar playing lounge.
Hey Ed! Sorry I missed this one, was going through the first of 2 hurricanes when you posted this, power was out for days, just got my new roof put on. Hope you are well.
Sultry track, love the composition, nice breaks and some great instrumentation and playing. The vocals hit the spot!
Scary stuff on our tv showing some of the storm damage..can`t imagine what it would have been like..we just mostly freeze in the prairie blizzards up here. Glad you are ok. Don`t get much music time myself Wayne. Have quite a few I could post but I don`t like taking forever getting back to those folks thoughtful enough to leave comments.Good to hear from you and big thanks for the comments..Ed
Hey, Ed!! I had to scroll through the comments, because I couldn't believe I let this one get past me; but, apparently I did because I saw no comments from me! LOL. Well, it goes without saying that you are one of handful of geniuses on this site. I was captured by the interplay between the guitar and sax--Brilliant! Without you mentioning it, no one would believe that your composition and the vocal were done independently of each other; it's a solidly cohesive work. Well done absolutely.
Hi Mykael...good to hear from you my friend and thank you very much for the listen & comments...I should really print out your comments and pin them on the fridge so I can tell the kids...see.HaHa...,uch appreciated...gotta head over to your page & see what you`ve been up to...Ed
Hello, sir. It's always a pleasure to see "the old dude" has been around. Think of it as a bourbon, my friend. We just get better with age.
Speaking of bourbon, this track could easily be paired with a double shot of Mitcher's US 1. It's high class, smooth, spicy, smokey and sweet all at the same time. And, it was meant to be enjoyed. The tones on your guitars never cease to amaze me. You definitely have an ability to match textures from instrument to instrument to create contrasting and complimentative layers within the track.
This one isn't as Ed-centric by way of solos, but the subdued restraint certainly allows the vocals to shine, and graciously shares the stage with the sax. Brilliant composition.
I hope things are going well for you these days. I hope the light has begun to shine for you again.
Hey Aaron...good to hear from you old friend. Appreciate the generous comments. I am still grateful for the addiction to music although life has been unkind in recent times & still hard to find the motivation and time I used to have...but no complaints...I am grateful for the many blessing I have enjoyed over the years, including the music friends. Winter will no doubt keep me locked in more and maybe the music will flow better. Many thanks Aaron...and my best to you..Ed
