Here's my first song of the New Year, a funky thing called "Out Of The Blue" in the style of Tower Of Power (one of my all time favorite bands).

I hope you like it.
Thanks for listening and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I think you nailed TOP's sound! Excellent work! Love how the wide keys add interest between the horns.
 
Regards,
Dan
 
 
 

Very nicely done. Lots of great sounds going on and some nice guitar work. Enjoyed. Happy New Year!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Nice work, with the keys, guitars, drums, horns, all authentic to the genera. . .
 
The drums may could come back a tad, but please take that with a grain of salt. Good job on the tune, really good all the way around. 

Nicely done Bob. Especially like the rhodes solo.
 

Bumping this, because it does not need to be below someone who refuses to acknowledge anything but their own shizzy... 

Dan, John, Robbie, and Tim:
Thanks so much for listening and commenting guys, I'm glad you liked the tune
John, thanks for the kind words on my guitar work.
Robbie, you may be right about the drums, but I felt for this style they really needed to be "in your face". I thought about doing the same with the bass but pushing it too hard made the mix just to muddy for me too handle. I probably should have recorded it with more high end.
Tim, isn't that a killer solo? Of course I didn't play it, my keyboard skills are pretty much limited to step recording and I can get horn lines done after 20 or so takes :) . The keyboards were done by a buddy of mine who insists I credit him as Ebony Z. Ivory. He's a bit strange but he never lets me down.
Dan, saying I nailed T.O.P.'s sound is a huge compliment for me, much appreciated!
 
Thanks again guys!

TOP is a high hill to climb....and you made the summit in fine style.
 
This so good in so many ways. There is so much stuff going on in any given TOP song and you got that nailed.
 
Enjoyed this a lot!!

Fantastic stuff Bob, really got my head bobbing here I love the placing of the BGV's and that telephone vocal aside 'You might want to fix your collar', nice little touches. Excellent short guitar solo too.

Mr. Cain, that was great - what a cooking track! You obviously reflect the influence TOP has had on you and you've learned well. Very fun to listen to - nice job!
