All I used here was the Yamaha nylon string. No effects, no other instruments, just was how the mic picked up what I was doing. I wish I had gone longer.
You might not believe this but, on all the tracks except "Lookin' For Love" I used an old Yamaha nylon string guitar. Rhythm instruments when used where either an old kick drum pedal against some packing foam that is screwed to the back of my old bass amp cab (cab isn't being used), stomping a kids tambourine or just my foot bumping on the floor (which I didn't realize until later was being picked up by the mic). Thanks much for listening :)
I like it more than Johnny Cash version of Depeche Mode song. I know your song only shares name and i actually expected this to be a cover. I'm curious, which software do you use for recording?
Haha, no Mercedes Benz huh ? :) I've got an old '74 sportster (I know, not considered by some to be from the "Harley years") I've got to get back on the road... cop issue years ago :( Like your raw sound:)
A few of you may know this from my old account. If not it's a new one Ha, Ha.
Seems to be from another Time and Space now ..... And a silly video for youu ...

Swamp Thing is a custom built guitar by Tony Louscher at Luthier's Workshop in Green Bay, WI. I wrote the main riff three years ago and it sounded "swampy" to me. For the 2020 RPM Challenge, I dusted off the little riff and created this tune…
We decided to give the kids an outlet that wasn’t pandemic or lockdown based this February, and made an album as a family for the RPM Challenge 2021. It was just the most precious, funny, brilliant month.

A raw & acapella unleashing with no effects whatsoever - aural apologies but RPM deadline looms and I wanted something full frontal.
Caveat leo feminam!

I'm digging the poignancy here. Such a beautiful mournful vocal.
