Bapu's first post in the Songs forum. Cover of the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues".

Although I do collaborate in The Coffee House Band. This is my first "indie" post.

In Feb of 2009 I got together with my band members from 30 years ago. We recorded about 16 songs live into SONAR. We ended up with 11 decent ones.

This one, Roadhouse Blues ended up being a minor collaboration with our own nonat on harp. He goaded me into posting this here.

Let's see if julibee or rick goad me into posting their collaborations on two other tunes?

    :-) Cool morrison tune. It's a little rough but it has a live garrage band feel to it, so it fits. Please don't wait so long for the next one? Great vocals, and harp. Actually? Everything is pretty great, really wonderful performances all the way around.

    Drummer needs a click track to play to ...other than that it sounded like it was fun doing it.


    Whoa.... to you ...oh...earth and sea...
    for the devil sends the beast with wrath.....
    because he knows the time is short.....
    let him who hath understanding.....
    reckon the number of the beast.....
    for it is a human number...
    it`s number is.....
    666

    So if JESUS rose from the DEAD
    Does that mean he`s the ORIGINAL ZOMBIE?

    Yeah, he actually turned a so-so version into something a bit more magical, IMO.

    Hi, the guitar and harmonica are very nice. I always love a good blues tune. All the instruments are good. This is a very good cover of this song. Good job.

    Frank, 

    You are a first time goader for me.
    Only your hairdresser knows for sure (if you're a goadist).

    Thanks for the nudge.

    Great stuff Bapu, authentic and live sounding. Just out of interest what mics were used on the snare / hi-hat? The drums sound very Sabian  / Mapex to me (great)

    Easy to hear why Frank wanted you to post it. It grooves. Really enjoyed hearing a tune with "life" in it and not so mechanical.
    Maybe it's an appreciation from growing up in a garage band and a  very cool take on a great tune.

    Bapu,
     
    As already mention a little rough around the edges but it does have a live feel about it.  The drummer gives a certain Chicken Shack swing to the tune.
     
    Nicely done great harp.

    on the snare / hi-hat?


    snare was the CAD Pro-7 snare mic. I have a 57 but did not use it.
    hi-hat was my DBX reference mic.

    This brought back some memories....spirited performances all round here. Vocals are spot on, and Frank's harp is just right.

    Bapu, you've got the Blues, and they sound great.  You have captured that raw feeling of the Southside Blues! 
    Great job.

    Ed

    You old fart!

    This took me back to looking for roaches underneath the manky old matress we used to crash out on.

    I can even smell the half-empty cans of crap beer utilized as ash trays from here.  I guess what I'm saying this whole thing is authentic at least.

    Have you tried hormone replacement therapy to counter this urge to re-visit your youth?

    It makes me glad that Johnny Rotten burst in on the scene and woke us all up before we did ourselves irrepairable damage (maybe he came too late for some of us).

    A perfect example....of what I'm not sure.....but a perfect example nonetheless.

    Well done.

    Ed, I love that "Chicken Shack" line.... it's perfect.  And it fits.  And I love it.  And don't you DARE.  But only 'cause I've lost the link you sent me, and I can't even remember how I sounded.... ;)
     
     
    Oh never mind.  I found it.  M'kay.  Go for it.  I'm wailing on that one!   ;)
