Cover of Loggins and Messina's 1972 hit Angry Eyes Written by Jim Messina and Kenny Loggins.   Performed by Robby Robbins(The Band19) and Markno999.   Originally 7:40 in length and somewhat of a "jam" we reduced the song to just over 5 minutes to keep the song more listenable.   Robby did all vocals, saxes, organ, marimba,and Mbira.  Markno999 did guitars, xylophone, bass, and drums - also did the mix with a little help from Danny Danzi.   All the good parts of the mix are Danny’s, any mixing problems are mine 
 
This song has a lot of moving parts so may have some mix updates based on comments.   For those not familiar with the original, or Loggins and Messina, it starts out a bit Country Rock and then goes into a jazz rock jam format with several solos before going back to the country rock vocal style.   Comments welcome on any aspect of the song.    Thx.

For those interested the guitars are played through a Line 6 HD500, Bass is Trillian, Drums are Superior Drummer, Percussion is EZDrummer Latin Percussion, Organ is an NI Organ from Komplete 8, Horns are JABB except for the Sax Solo which is Mr. Sax T. Marimba and Xylophone are recorded from a Yamaha Motif Rack-ES.  A number of Waves plugins are used throughout including Kramer Tape and SSL Bus Compressor and SSL Channel.  Also using some ProChannel EQ.

:-) It rocks HARD! And we started working on it "in the spring" LOL! I can't believe Mark hung in there this long with me and I'm really pleased with the final result. It was an "extremely aggressive undertaking..." The saxes were the most fun to do, and the Hammond (for me)
 
And I think Mark just nailed the mix, and the percussion and drums. It really glues it all together (it goes without saying that he kicks arse on the guitar)

One of my favorite!  Nice job you guys.  I like the solo break.  I played on Jimmy Messina's first album after L&M.  He is a great guy to work with.

Tim - Thanks for the listen and comment.   Glad to hear a long-time fan of them approves;)  I like all their stuff quite a bit, as solo artists or together.
 
Frank - Thanks, appreciate your comment.   This was quite a beast but a lot of fun to work on.
 
Regards
