A new Pugtones tune.

This is the first new song Warren and I have done in almost a year. We added an organ player on this one - my lifelong friend Dan Bates who has played with everyone from Cold Blood to Frank Sinatra.
 
Warren wrote this one and recorded an acoustic version of this years ago - I got a hold of it and turned it into an electric version. Warren sang this one and played bass - I played guitar and as I mentioned, Dan played B3 organ.
 
Broke Again Blues.

Great performances, recording and mix guys

eph221 - thank you - I agree would be a good tune in a down and dirty bar with a few beers in your gut.
 
daryl - thanks man. I haven't recorded anything with Warren for about a year - so I got some practice time in.
 
wook - good to see you - hope all is good with you. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Great track gents.   Everything in the mix sounds good and that organ really pops.     Guitar solo really shines, thumbs up.
 
Regards 

Nice one Mark, and Warren, of course

Great blues track. Nice groove and sounds. Good job!

i really dig, how you guys held the meter back on this one...
reminded me of early Zztop, they were/are so good at the slower groovy blues vibes.
 
 
the addition of the b3 stuff, is just perfect.
 
i like the choice of the drum kit on this one.
 
excellent guitar solo
 
really, great performances all around.

===================================================================
 
Captain Able was once again manning the bridge on the mightly Songship as it plowed through the putrid soundwaves on the roiling -- but never rocking -- Sea of Sterile Pastiche.  Suddenly, Able heard an all too familiar sound coming from the hull of the ship -- an irritating droning croaking whiny sound that cheapened the senses.  Able quickly covered his ears while shouting to his navigator "It's those damned Barnacles -- they're trying to sully and sink the Songship.  Full speed ahead!"
 
Down below, The Barnacles -- Blahpoop, Steryl69, and Synkophant -- were desperately attempting to cling to the Songship in order to sink the towering song vessel.  And, as usual, they were accompanied by their faithful floating beta consorts, The Attaboys, led by Dymm with assistance from EphYOU.
 
As The Barnacles attached their tentacles to the hull of the Songship, they unleashed  a torrent of (f)artless lyrics which were delivered in a tuneless -- although auto-tuned -- fashion.  These dirges, sung without style, were accompanied by tinker toy faux reggae sounds which were grounded by thumps.  The Attaboys circled and cooed encouragement in the murky waters surrounding the Songship.
 
Able called out for the crew to ready for battle.  Soon, the air on deck sparkled as the Songship's crew played melodic song after song in various styles and arrangements.  Tuneful vocals singing well-versed lyrics rang out with resonance and interesting phrasing.  There was no need for auto-tune and the like.  Confronted again with the Songship's lack of banality, The Barnacles were driven into a furor.  Their only was to increase the volume of their monkey-like screeching.  In the midst of this cacophony The Attaboys -- having been given strict orders through underwater sonar messaging -- fell silent.
 
Nearly overcome by the mediocrity assaulting his ears, Captain Able deftly guided the Songship away from the area where The Attaboys were floating.  He then ordered the crew to increase the melodic sounds emanating from the deck.  Overcome by contact with actual talent, The Barnacles could not sustain their attack and fell from the hull into the swirling soundwave abyss. The Attaboys, floating leaderless, continued to comment amongst themselves about The Barnacles' greatness, but to no avail.  The Barnacles lay quiet at the bottom of the Sea of Sterile Pastiche, brought down once again by their own banality.
 
The Songship continued gliding into fresher waters guided by the most able Captain Able as new sounds were carried by fresh breezes across the newly christened Sea of Good Songs.

 
Rob-Thanks for the in depth listen.  Everything you said makes me, us, feel good.  I still can't get that picture  to work.  It's been 2 years since I was at your house.  I am knocking off the live band work, unless they really need me enough to pay well!  LOL.  I like your ZZ TOP reference.  I never thought of it.  Be well, buddy and come on down! 
 
Fredster- Thanks, buddy , I am glad to see you are still kickin around here.  I saw a FreddyJ tune a minute ago.  I am heading that way!
 
Allen- thanks for taking the time to listen and comment!
 
Bobby O- Thanks, man.  You have a nice signature panel.  Colorful and there you are!  Love it!
