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

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.
