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 nor obstatacle (except deafness) excluded.
credit for both drum tracks and the invaluable technical advice that got these recordings underway goes to bob korver.
warning/disclaimer; this is cd format and will not work on record players.
dont tell nobody/you cant get that stuff no more finally i can say; here it is! new for 2010. dont tell nodody is an outlaws song with a ripping slide guitar and you were in on the deal. you cant get that stuff no more is an old prohibition tune reworked into todays circumstance with a country sound; completed with banjo, mandolin and lap steel guitar. an audience favorite, but they never heard it this way! ian pearson on drums.
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 always a subjective topic. i can say these songs have life of their own and a feel that fits; like a 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 and dont tell nobody. 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 and being finished up next. stay tuned..
