After ten years - a newly recorded Geronimo Cowboy tune.

It's been ten years since me and Mike Vlahakis have recorded anything together. A few months back I got an e-mail from Mike asking if I wanted to do another album. So, we just finished ten songs.
 
Mike wrote the lyrics, sang, played bass guitar and the keys - I wrote the music and played guitar on this one.
 
I'm not sure how many of these tunes I'll post - probably a few -  the first one is called "Give It A Whirl".

    I really like this Mark - nice n sleazy.
    I've got a cold at the moment (man flu) so my ears ain't what they'd usually be but I think I can hear clipping - maybe rein in the final master a tad?

    Thanks daryl - appreciate the comment - appreciate you taking the time. I don't mix these tunes - Mike does - so if there's clipping - then I can't do anything about it.
     
    Thanks again.

    firts off, I have listened to many of the GC songs,
     
    (p.s. on this day  in 1886 Geronimo was forced to give up the gig, see the link below if interested)

      you are a very good guitar player, it is all very tasty and not over indulgent.  you also have a very wide palette and never seem to repeat yourself.  Not to many guitarists can have that talent.
     
    The songs are well thought out with a meaning, nothing just thrown together, I can tell you took your time. 
     
    The folks you work with bring the goods too, it is a solid effort alll around.  for me though, the guitar playing is the best part, it bolsters the songs but leaves lots of space for everyone else to find a place and present a cohesive presentation, you and the band should be proud!

    I liked Mark, I agree with Daryl there are some tweaks needed in the mix but the feel and groove come through and sometimes that is all you really need.  Nice one

    Jesse - thank you my friend - appreciate it.
    Wookiee - Thanks for the comment. I don't have anything to do with the mix on these - so, it is what it is. Thanks again.

    Mark,
    Nice and raunchy cowboy guitar tune you got here. I like the way you veer into dissonance on the solo.
    Cool, raw stuff. No crits- it sounds like you got what you were going for.
     
    Cheers,
     
    Bert

    Silence is so accurate

    Hey Mark!  great to hear you guys are back at it and BUSY!  nice guitar work!  
     
    I agree with Daryl I'm hearing some clipping distortion throughout the mix
     
    performances - vox, guitars, keys,  all great stuff!

    I like the "in your face" mix - very raunchy.  I especially enjoyed the organ - that sounds excellent in this song.  Good rockin' tune - nice job guys.

    I used to own a money clip. That was the good kind of clipping, IMO.
     
    The song is cool.
     
    Love that dissonant guitar at 2:20ish. Tre cool.

    I almost missed this one.  I'm glad I caught it.  I like the nice raw sound to this.  The vocals are doggone good and the organ is a nice touch but your guitar playing really carries this song.  Nice one lads.
