the muddyshoes experience


cd

  some people put em out like stale biscuits. this is my very first finished recording. it is as good as i can do after more than 40 yrs of string slingin madness. where DID the pipe go? i think you know right now whether you will like this one or not. but what does it really mean? 

           this song could be the next anthem ...anathema to the system that denies us             

  kicking D Around is an instrumental that will get "yer toes tapping"  or whatever it is   that excites your molecules. everyone of you; young/old, neither race, sex or obstatacle (except deafness) excluded.  

warning/disclaimer; this is cd format and will not work on record players. 

  this is pure muddyshoes, i play all guitar parts, bass and vocals. drums are done by bob korver. the fantastic beat heard on "where did the pipe go?"  was created and  produced in his studio in LA. and delivered to me here and became the songs new  foundation.  the kicking D track was a demo done here teaching me some recording basics i needed to learn, never intended to become a finished track. it works, its the best ive got.  i never wood have got this far without his help. the year between those two tracks became......

lucky 13

l13


  lucky13 is my copyrighted demo recording;  representing my lifes work, the source of some of these songs go back a  long ways.  im sorry to say finishing it first is not possible   . .... still incomplete with drum machine tracks and frayed ends; a gem in the rough.  as a technical recording, it pales compared to what the industry can routinely produce.  as musical content?  thats a subjective topic, i can say these songs have life of their own, and a feel that fits... like good pair... of _ _ _ _ _! 

  a very special event took place doing this record. double tracking guitar parts! it changed everything. a whole new dimension opened up for me. i was the kid in the candy shop. i cannot reproduce these songs live. there are a couple things i may not even be able to play again!  you will find  different versions of  -where did the pipe go?/ kicking D around.  dont tell nobody/you cant get that stuff no more  will  be my next single. i am working on it now!  dtn features a ripping slide guitar and it is one of my favorites  to play live. cant get that stuff has remnants of an old blind willie tune, and is another crowd pleaser. no, it is not on lucky 13.  empty room  tells a story. empty room was a turning point in my music and sources back to the early 90s. if not for that song i might as well have tossed it in. drinkin whiskey and red dress are the oldest, tracing roots to the early seventies. stump blues is most recent. stay tuned..
