Jesus is Risen

First..... a little back ground on this song. I originally wrote it back in 2000 and recorded it on my Tascam Porta One....and it sounded bad.... so it kinda languished on some tapes and eventually was forgotten. Last spring...around the time of Easter, I remembered this song and went looking for it....but I couldn't find it.

So working from what I could remember after 10 years, I started a re-write of the song and recorded it in MC4.

Shortly after getting it kinda ready (early summer 2010) I contacted Albert and asked if he would like to do video to it. He agreed. I sent him a copy of the Jesus Film and we were planning to use clips from that DVD..... my wife saw the preview and asked about copyright infringement. So I asked for permission. Tat was, after all, the only proper thing to do. Now remember.... they GIVE THE DVD AWAY FOR FREE.... but two days later I got an email from them. They said "NO"!

So we were back to square one. Albert and I both tried to find video and stills to use to put the video together but with Albert's health issues and the lack of good PD content, plus Albert had a number of other projects in the pipeline, we decided to scrap the video version for now.

So, with a few weeks remaining until Resurrection Sunday, here, for your listening pleasure is the audio version of:

JESUS IS RISEN

I hope you enjoy it.

This is great! Awesome mix, too. I love how it's telling the story (like all good country does). great guitar work, too.

Christ is alive!!! WOOOO

 This sounds great Herb!

I have a lot of master tapes but no 4 track player anymore to play them with from the late 80's. I do have the mixdowns, but the idea for the song is the only thing worth trying to resurrect so to speak.

This is cool! My point is, I wish I had stuff from the past that would be worth letting others hear. A lesson learned, meaning do your best and make it count if you want something worthwhile.

This is cool! Sound great and an conversion re-do!

finding the cymbals a bit OTT, maybe need to tone down the highs on them?

otherwise, love the gospel organ and the violins! very old-fashioned country style, which i guess makes it new and fresh in the year 2011!

That is just plain awesome!

Beautiful!

ENR... thanks

Vechung..... bass is like cowbell... you can never get enough..... that's what I forgot to add.....cowbell..... oh well, maybe next song.

Lovely Herb, I loved this.

Love the song.  Perfect time to give our maker all the Glory with Easter right around the coner.
Cut some of the Highs and boost the bass.............:)

This is great, Herb.  You must have sent it to me some time ago cause I definitely remember hearing it before.  Anyway, nice job all around. 

Well done, Herb.
Love the slide work, and that organ is just classic.

Yep, just checked--I sent the track to you in December.  Anyway, this turned out nice the way it is. :)  I just KNEW I'd heard it somewhere. :)

Hi Herb,

Great mix and singing/playing!  Love the organ and dobro fills.

I need to borrow some hands because I wanna give you 40 thumbs up on this one.

Herb, this is really fantastic - your voice is really top notch. This recording is so pristine - very nice.

Janet, Mike, Gr, Reece, Scotty, Tap, & Mark,  Thanks for listening, and the compliments.

Reece, I agree on the crashes.... I might have to fix that.... later. Right now I'm fried on it. I'm at the point where I don't want to hear it for awhile. (if you know what I mean)

I completely understand that!
