Okay Andrew R. , this ones for you bud. Had a little fun with it in the intro. That was the surprise.
I put the bass line down and arranged the drums Saturday morning and returned later that night about 10:00 pm . I worked until 2 am and laid…
I was finally able to finish this one up over this past week. Like always I am never satisfied but I have come to a point where I just tell myself enuff is enuff and move on to the next song...pheww! Hopefully it sounds good on everyone elses…
Awesome song. I like this version, loving the wah guitar in the left channel. You got good taste in music! I love the cover of this by the band Rare Earth. Good cover!
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
Yes. Captain Beyond was remnants of Iron Butterfly, Rod Evans original vocalist for Deep Purple(One of my favorite vocalists ever), and johnny Winter. You nailed it. Psychedelic Jazz Rock mostly. They're one of my all time faves. Check out live at montreaux on youtube with Captain Beyond.
Thanks for stopping by
Peace

Well done. Curious how royalties work when covering music for free? Do you have to pay anyone anything? Hendrix is awesome.
Good cover. Out of Hendrix I have I don't know this song. The riffs remind me of Dancing madly Backwards by Captain beyond. Though almost without a doubt Hendrix did it first. Captain beyond was 1971 I think.

YESSIRREEE!
This is the bizness. I knew you could pull it off :)
Particularly love the bridges ("That's why") and how they slam into the chorus. Always loved those bits...
And the solo, and the guitar on the last chorus/out - sounds like you've got walls of plexis rattling the control room windows.
... and lol at sticking EXP on the front of it.
This one needs a FAVE of the FAVES button.

I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…

I came back for a 2nd listen ... I think you're a good player. Not really into covers unless they are redone and reshaped into something original. I like your voice and pretty good production quality. I think you could have stepped the lead up a bit ... let it rip at the end ... maybe a bit more volume and drive. Really good though

Reg crawled out of his bunker and wandered down the hill where Jip 1965 found him and dragged him round to FDR,s cave,the beer flowed,the whiskey jug was emptied and we all turned into AC/DC. And then we went down the Rum Runner and rocked the…
Another one of my lil ditties that I started writing at the bowling alley. First game I bowled a 204 the rest of the evenin the games were less exciting. Get me high, then strike a blow
I wrote this after I sang with a friend
at his mother's funeral.
He had always wondered
why he looked nothing like his brothers...
DOOR MAT
Key - A
A) My daddy treated Mama like a door mat
D) Me and little brother didn't like that…
I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…
Another one jip1965 sent to me for playing with!
Silent and magical
Calming and practical
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Filtering through the air
Twinkling in our hair
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Dancing on the leaves of trees
Shaking…
This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…
FYI, there is a glitch in the number of listens on this track. The other day 70+ listens popped up from in one day from another alonetoner. Has this happened to anyone else? Strange.
As I reflected on the 100th anniversary this past year of the ship's sinking, this song brought me back to the piano and this was the rendition that was produced as I thought of that fateful night. Original music by James Horner and lyrics by…
Ok - a collab between myself, Lady Jane and FDR. I hope the MP3 does it justice. Nice one you guys.
I put the basics together, FDR did lead and suggested the theme on "gliding", and LJ created the words, sang, added some effects (chimes, woodblock…
Standard tuning, very cool approach than. I thought some of it sounded standard and a couple parts had me wondering. Nice work. The vocals remind me of a version Zappa did of Purple Haze. I have been on the fence like Mac has been about doin a tribute. I say do it. NIce job kavin.
Reg has started to face some facts while at rehab.....

I like :)
Great groove. Makes me feel good.
Awesome song. I like this version, loving the wah guitar in the left channel. You got good taste in music! I love the cover of this by the band Rare Earth. Good cover!

Sorry I think its actually the song Raging River of fear by Captain Beyond these riffs remind me of.

Ooooh!, Yeah!!
I think Jimi would be pleased
Rocks , well done.
Ooh that took me back, the days of great B sides on records. Rock on Jimi !!!!

..particularly like your vocal on this one - another rockin' Hendrix classic to add to my favourites list. Well done, James..
Still loving this one.
Great job....just love the guitar work, and your voice....smokiiiin.....
Still remember hearing that LP in '67, blew my socks off & it still plays .........Good job
Very nice!

A whole box of awesomeness.
A+ buddy. Amazing work!
Nice! Hadn't thought of this tune for a long time. Great job!
Comments made by JR James
Wow never heard this Shania tune! Nice work!
Ahhh....love it love it love it. One of my faves. Perfect rendition.
Balls to the wall. Turn it to 11!
You could sing about Corn flakes and we would all still be in awe. Thanks for sharing.
I dont know where to begin. Special stuff , my lord.
So damn soulful.
Haaa! Great job. Very cool vocals. Taking me back to Loggins and Messina era.
Pheww, your vocals are killer. That is a great 2 minutes.
Love it. What a vocal on this. You always connect the listener with the song. Another beauty added to the catalog.
This could crush thru brickwalls and tear steel I - beams. Nice finger grease!
Oooh....nice vocals , love the bridge section changes.
Okay, after a few tweaks, spaceship sounds, fuzz guitar and a better drum track I am happy now.
FYI, there is a glitch in the number of listens on this track. The other day 70+ listens popped up from in one day from another alonetoner. Has this happened to anyone else? Strange.
Beautiful music and playing.
Flowin nicely ....hell yeah.
Reminds me of Simon n Garfukel. Then its starts rockin.
Good right from the start. Nice wash of synths in there. Very nice vocal as well.
Standard tuning, very cool approach than. I thought some of it sounded standard and a couple parts had me wondering. Nice work. The vocals remind me of a version Zappa did of Purple Haze. I have been on the fence like Mac has been about doin a tribute. I say do it. NIce job kavin.
Great writing and lyrics.
What tuning you have goin here?
