I wrote this song several years ago as a fun, foot-stompin’, rockin’ blues crowd-pleaser to close out church services, and like my previous song, The Way The Truth The Life, finally got around to recording it – actually I attempted to record it a lot over the years, but just couldn’t get a good vibe with it. Most of it had to do with how I was singing it, which was kind of straight up. But last year, I decided to have some fun with it, and do kind of an “Elvis” voice, and that’s when it changed the whole song and got me over the hump. 🙂 Here’s the song:
I just used my Fender American Deluxe Strat in this one for all guitar parts, and ran it through my Roland Cube 30 set to “Classic British Stack” so I could get that mid-rangy Marshall tone. I cheated a little with the lead and added a software overdrive plug-in to give the lead even more bite and sustain. Ahhh! The wonders of software! 🙂
Hi, I liked the song thanks. Good sound quality too. Did you play all the guitar parts yourself?
What sort of recording setup did you use?
I played all the parts, using a Les Paul and a Strat (though the Strat sort of takes center stage). My recording setup is really simple: MBOX 2 into my Macbook Pro, using Logic Express. The amp was miked with a Sennheiser e609; cheap, simple, and very nice-sounding.
