Hi XxyounG, Thank you for your kind supportive words about this track. Playing the instruments onto this track didn't take that long, about 2 hours in total from start to finish. Learning to play all of these instruments, now that takes the time!!!! Cheers Slap...
Political expediency is the same the world over...it sucks but this tune doesn't....love that guitar in the background it does an excellent job of finishing off the main horn phrase.....When you see these girls again give them a big rap from me....great harmonizing with super clean delivery..nothing beats it!....very cool job...cheers planet
This song is just great!...it's very reminiscent of times gone buy but you've put a whole new contemporary spin on it..nice guitar solo too!...this web site needs to have a SlapJohson Day!...where all you're music is showcased....I can't believe a track of this quality is languishing here and not had more plays....I suppose the greater majority of looperfolk are very genre biased....needless to say it's bloody marvelous...cheers planet
My piano comes from the windy city..that's as close as I've been to it.....this track really points the way towards a great area of American culture..it's such an enormous influence on us all...YEAH!..I can hear that liquorice stick mate!...very sweet,and the slides great....Jeez you are one versatile fella!.....Horn sections always do what nothing else can..they simply levitate tracks...oh..the funny thing is when I have the flu and am near death..I actually sound like a blues player!(talking that is)....very enjoyable piece....tres' chiaroscuro!....... planet
Find a way to bottle that talent and ship some to me. The song is awesome. There's nothing wrong with it. Wouldn't change a thing. If I sent you some lyrics, would you consider doing some of them? BTW, I put up a new tune, fear of committment, please let me know what you think.
I would never get that cause I cant even read notes =P but you can clearely hear that in ur trackz, simply professional. nice melodies btw! awesome compilation
This is a great song, the music is so well played and tight, the vocals are really cool and I love it when the sax kicks in around the 1.55 mark, excellent song Slap.
You are certainly a monumental talent. Great song all way round. I thought the vocals were good as is. Gives it a nice bluesy/been there, done that/too many late nights with a bottle & a smoke, feel.
Hi Mokeone, if I drop the vocals down an octave I might sound like Tom Waits. To be honest Mr E is right it's a high song and I wasn't at my best, so I intend to sort them out this week. I'm glad you like the song. Chicago just blew me away and I had to do something about it. Cheers Slap...
The dissonance between the incredible parts, performances and production versus the lyrical 'woe is muse' message makes this many layered in more than arrangement. Maybe you FELT emptied, 9 brilliant tracks in one month, but the music lives here.
i saw you were online so i decided to check what u were up too and i found this :D
i quite like how the vocals fit into this song and for me it painted a nice picture of Chicago. even though i havent been there this is how i would imagine it
Thanks Helven, I was online at a gig when you reviewed this track. I'm sorry I didn't have my email open. The place had free connection, so I thought I'd check the only site on the web to fill some time in between sets. Thanks for the review, and keep walking tall my friend. Cheers Slap...
Yeah wonderful music.. i will download today....gosh I love this site and you folks... this will be todays project to see if I can abuse your song...with me..
I love these rocking numbers and you can't go wrong with an all girl vocal line up...they must hold you in absolute awe..you are the human musical one stop shop!....and to top it off I hear you've got a son that will one day potentially eclipse your playing abilities.....it's an understatement to say,but my faith has been restored (my faith in boogie that is) ;)..cheers planet
Eh up Planet! Thanks for stopping by and taking time to give this stuff a listen. Our kid (11) has just become the youngest in the U.K if not Europe to pass this diploma. They are filming him next week for the news, so I will email you the piece so you can give him a watch and listen. As you can imagine I am very proud of him and his talent not only on sax but also on piano, he already plays a mean boogie woogie! Cheers Slap...
A very simple uncomplicated sound that sits well against that lovely clear voice...this one would work well with just an acoustic guitar in any place you could care to mention...cheers planet
It's rare to come across someone that it so obviously talented. I glad that you took the time to share that piece. I couldn't help but think of my husband and how much I love him. Excellent job!
Hi Peppermint, Thanks for dropping by and giving one of my tracks a listen. It is a track for people with partners. Sometimes we take our other halfs for granted, this was one of those times when I sat and thought what life would be like without them around, and then I wrote this to say thank you for being around, if you get my drift. Anyway thanks for the review. Cheers Slap...
