"Play it Again" - Collab w/ Warren, Mark Cline & Eva

Hey
 
Been absent from the forum lately - life's got in the way of music. But I've missed y'all and hope you're getting ready for a good turkey day tomorrow.
 
I had the priviledge of getting Warren, Mark & Eva to help me take the scrappy bones of a quirky little psychodelic blues rock song and turn it into something awesome. It's rough, it's raw, it's weird... and I hope you like it as much as I do! Warren put a great amount of effort into finishing up his vocals right before he went in for major surgery, so gotta give props to my man for knocking it out of the park.

All input, feedback and suggestions are welcome!

My suggestion is that the drums need to be changed. At least in the begining before r-guitar comes in. It feels like it needs some sink-o-paytion. I like the vocals.

Hey Dave,
Great tune/collab.  The mix sounds AWESOME on my end especially the way the vocals sit in the mix.  KUDOS!

very nice..... love the tone and the song. 

Love the blues.............. :)

Another nice collab.    
I like Warren's vocal on this !

Holy Vocal Power! This song is twisty and I am amaze at how you guys/gal managed to make it all work so well. This has got to be one of the coolest productions I have ever heard. Love the ending! Nice guitar work in there, Markybro also. I gotta go listen a few more times now......C ya!

Wow thanks so much to each of your for taking the time to listen and comment! I can't tell you what a pleasure it was working with Warren, Mark & Eva. It was very interesting to see where this tune ended up compared to how I was originally envisioning it - they definitely took it to a better place!

I understand the comments about the drums in the blues sections and will see what I can do, but it was hard to give that right feel with the programmed drums. I couldn't quite get them the way I wanted & I'm not sure I'm good enough at drum programming to get 'em where they need to be.

I like this a lot.  Everything sounds right about it.

Hey, Dave,


I almost missed this beauty, I'm really glad I scrolled down the page!


This is spectacular!  You guys did an amazing job moving in and out from smoky Kansas City Blues to almost a progressive rock sounding verses and beautiful harmony layered sections.  Warren and Eva's vocals were dynamite,  the guitars were nice and punchy, and the drums and bass sounded perfect together.  The mix was totally pro sounding all the way.


Fantastic job by all four of you, great stuff!

Nope, Cream were never this good! (And I heard them live - a number of times - I wonder how may other people here can say that - darn I feel old!). This is smoky, down in the dirt blues - as good as it gets. Love it.

I'm gonna bump this for Dave.  I know he's been busy and I think this got to the back pages a bit prematurely.  I enjoyed playing with Dave, as usual, and it was fun trying to mix our lyrics into a viable arrangement.  Nothing ever has to be done to his musical tracks when we receive them.  So, this bump's for you, Dave! 

Wow, this is a grand collab for sure. Great job everyone. Love it

dlogan,

Great job on the song, vocals and guitars!  I also hear Clapton in this.  For the drums, I agree Jonbouy about the "straight vs. shuffle" feel in the verses (drums are straigh, guitar is shuffling).  I too like the blues and rock segmants. 
Sorry I missed this the first time around!

I got the blues, now..... Nice work, guys!!!!!

Cool.
It was a thrill to be part of a Steakbone lineup a while back (Bulletproof), and it's great to hear this bunch.
Nice job from all of you.
