on Your Love by MWRatridge

Danke,
TY. Yes things are good.
And ty about the acoustic work...I use a 1995 Takamine Santa Fe Dreadnaught acoustic.
I used 2 rhythm acoustic tracks. On the first track I mic'd the acoustic. On the second track I used the onboard pickup without mic'ing. On the second track I also used a capo on the 5th fret to give the chords a second, layered voicing.
The lead guitar acoustic work was done with the onboard pickup to give it that extra "springy" presence.
Glad you enjoyed my old friend. I hope things are well with you also.
Mark.

on I Wanna Know by MWRatridge
Hey bro, by chance have you ever listened to much old Alice Cooper? I guess your guitar playing here reminds me of Coops earlier stuff. Glen Buxton and Michael Bruce were excellent guitarists. Its a solid track and I really dig the nostalgic feel of it. A guy in one of the bands I actually played my first gigs with was really into Cooper and he used to drive us crazy in practices playing Cooper albums to get us to pick a song to work up. I took a liking to the music and he and I worked up a song called "You Drive Me Nervous" from the bands "Killer" album. We always got a lot of requests to do it after we started playing it.

Neo,
Yes I've heard a lot of Cooper over the years and he def had some awesome guitar players in his lineup.
I cannot discount the fact that my style could have been influenced by some of his songs. I have often called my style a mishmash of many influences and many styles.
TY for the listen. I have submitted this song to a local FM radio station for air play and it is actually being considered!!! Woohoo! Even just being considered for air play after being a musician for my whole life is a huge score for me. Waiting for the yes/no answer (which could take weeks) is gruelling though lol. Hoping.

Perfectly performed! Sounds levels are cleaned, tracks mixing is really good.
The natural hoarse of your voice bring to this song an aditional color of rock genre (i don't know if the meaning of my words is correct, sorry for that :))

Really good work, congrats! took real pleasure in listening to this one

Kyle,
TY and sorry for the late response.
Yes this has always been a personal fave but it needed some modernizing. I tried playing it this way when I was a worship leader and the congregation were like "huh" lol. It worked out better for me this time ;)
Thanks Brother,
Mark.

Hello! Always good to ear "the human" behind the music. Well done! Hope your wife appreciate it!

Yes she did ty. The chorus has become a personal anthem for me. It' s a well written song but the what would you expect from the likes of Kris Kristofferson? It's a good reminder to take life slow and not let it overwhelm you like it can. It felt so real when I was singing it too.

This is awesome, grateful dead, acid trip, story book time, hollywood movie, me and my sister, a car driving through a desert, the shot zooming away from a helicopter camera, a buick riding through the Nevada desert, fear and loathing in Las Vegas, Johhny Depp and Benicio del Toro doing drugs, the sun rises and you're still awake in your hotel room, then 9 in the morning becomes 12 midday, then you finally go to sleep but only for 2 hours

on Another Saturday Night Tribute to Jimmy Buffet by MWRatridge
I have a pretty scratched 45 rpm of Buffet's version, I've always loved this track! Overall, Sam Cooks music is great and I liked Jimmy's version and I totally forgot about Cat Steven's. The backups work, I think they could be even louder. The lead was very cool and unexpected, liked the tone and how it built up. Long live percussion instruments! Vocals are strong all through, nice job with the vox too!

Waye,
Good to see you my friend. TYVM for the cred.
Backing vocals, yeah....I played with them a lot during the mastering and finally decided to drop them into the back because I found myself listening to them and not the lead vocal line. lol
