This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…

This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
Nice version of a great old song...
Alex Harvey is regarded as the writer around here. Saw him at the Rubaiyat in Dallas back in 1975. More recently , at the Blue Bird in Nashville. He just came in unannounced with his buddies and sort of took over the place. Tanya Tucker was 13 when she recorded this song and it was what made her famous until she got too into her Elvis thing. Then Married Glen Campbell and that went real bad.

I like the Tanya Tucker version. I have to tell you this is pretty professional and all, but I sort of wish you guys had traded verses to sing rather than just lines. I wanted to hear the particular singer go on a little longer. But it is great cover of a great old song.

OK, I'm hooked. I just hit the replay button again.
Great vocal synergy between the two of you, and the resonator guitar . . . well . . . it just brings it over the top.

Ah! Tanya Tucker - that was the name!!
And, er, DAW? What DAW?! No DAWs in use here! lol
I usually synch vocals by singing them again until they're right... We didn't really have that luxury, though - in the end I've got quite fond of the "rough and ready" vibe on it (it did bug me at first!)

This is one of my favourite songs of Helen Reddy's (although that's already a cover of the Tanya Tucker version)!
Nice, bluesy rendition. :) The vocals are heavily out of sync though - you should fix that in your DAW.
Instrumental fusion of an Asian-flavored pentonic scale with a G minor-based American Blues scale. The Asian scale is a D 5th version of the Koto scale, performed using the Pan Flute setting on a Yamaha E313 KB, while the Blues scale is performed…

Apologies to George but I love the song. Its shocking to find out that Paul and John rejected it until George dragged Eric to the studio one day. Imagine the White Album without this...
no effects of any type on this for good or ill.
The verse and the chorus are pretty much the same thing except the chorus is louder and heavier. I consider that a gimmick and a bit of a cheat, but I very often really like the way it works out. Shoot me.
The lyrics are about being afraid…
Well I seem to have a few songs with dreams and oceans in them. But then I do live on the ocean.... and I do dream ... daydream. I bought a cheap yamaha acoustic guitar from a garage sale for $50 and decided to try recording a song with it. I…
I thought going into 50/90 that I would need to do some quick recordings of really simple arrangements. Maybe just acoustic guitar and voice. Nope, not really.
This isn't meant as filler. This idea is something I noodle on almost every…
You can probably interpret this song in a few ways, but the inspiration was based on a move across the country to start a new life. I find there's an interesting tension between settling into your new home and getting use to a new environment…
The verse is a 12-bar blues phrase, but the rest of the song isn't. Clever? Probably not. The lyrics are kind of about work stress, but maybe not completely. I can't really tell anymore. The guitars are all Stratocaster.
Mixed up confused…
Something tells me I'll be mixing this one again soon.
The lyrics here are specifically about 9/11, but I guess it would apply to any major event. I was just listening to the accounts of people who were there at the time and comparing their…

I like it a bunch.....So did Kimmy
Beautiful Andrew!
Splendid.

A couple of pros. Nice track ya'll.
Sneaking some collab action in. Nice , oh so very nice! Makes me happy to hear this. ;)
Nice job, wonderful harmony.....
Spectacular vocals & harmonies , just so good - a wonderful pairing guys

Great sound :)
i dig you man!
cool raw rock an roll bro!
Nailed it.
Very nice production :)
Nice one guys,like it!

Fab' vocals and a spotless production make a great song!

Your original songs are the best ones. Great stuff, Andy!

And this one too, like it :)
That works in a strangely hypnotic kind of way. Nice one.
Cool version! Liking the vocals.
One of my favourite songs too. Nice version.
Oh good grief. Fabulous sound and playing. I'm getting used to this 1 minute business as well (just!)
Well that works! :)
Fabulous. Still loving that telecaster.
Free beer? I'm in :-) Wow... this rocks!
Flip, that works... I wouldn't have thought putting drums on afterwards (with no click) would be the easiest option.
Aww, gorgeous sounds. And, actually, I can't hear that it's a cheap guitar. Sounds fabulous.
Love it. How did you get the bass sound? Please don't tell me you actually have an acoustic double-bass... (not allowed one here!!)
Wow - wot a sound... I was knackered by the end! Loved the burp
Very tasty. I always start in an acoustic mood, and then something just comes over me and I get all Roy Thomas-Baker about it...
Like the organic feel... a lot.
Trippy - like it :) You got drums!!! *jealous* I'm not allowed them - no space in Mrs R's office/writing-room, apparently...
And another nice one... you're a LOT more productive than I am!! At least I've got some time for doing some listening now...
Nice one :-)
Wa-ay too short though!!
Go Jimi! :-)
Oh yes, nice one.
