I was listening to the first wondering how you were going to get guitar and bass into it... and there they were :-)
Huge sound, works really well. Vocals get a bit lost in it for my money - but I was listening to the guitars by then!!
Wow...Andrew you are too kind. As a teen I would fall asleep too Electric ladyland or Axis...etc...maybe in some weird way it subliminally affected me...haa!
Back for another listen. I went to bed buzzing last night because of this. Over breakfast, the missus had to put up with me explaining and miming the virtues of this performance... (poor girl)
That entry at 1:19 - crumbs. And 3:38 til the end... And the end itself... It sounds so "live" that I'm expecting crowd noises!
Woof! Lovely.
When you want to do it, you've got the "expressive Hendrix" thing completely and utterly pegged - how to play it and how to record it - I'm in awe.
I know guitarists - and you probably do too - who'll sit around saying "oh so-and-so just copies Jimi/SRV/whoever" ... don't ever listen to them - they're just jealous lol. They bought the right gear, the pedals, whatever, and they still can't make the sound...
You've got it in the fingers/brain/soul, and I find it a joy to listen to.
Magnificent stuff.

Steve Krell (SLKrell) and I have been feuding over the same girlfriend for a while now. In fact, there are several songs about her on Alonetone. Here is the latest in the story:

First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…
Love the message! Smaller living quarters, higher taxes, no jobs. Well done. Having a bit of the flu keeps it real. I had just finished a bout with that myself. Get your flu shots!

Skeen 130215
Melodic idea by Tiggy Acworth 23rd November 2012.
Made reality and added to quite superbly by David Bevan in February 2013. A perfect example of a living, breathing SKEEN. Music to live by?
Most definitely a click free recording…
Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
Comments on JR James's stuff
I didnt know how to do a mix when I recorded most of these tracks....way too much mudd and bass..
I was listening to the first wondering how you were going to get guitar and bass into it... and there they were :-) Huge sound, works really well. Vocals get a bit lost in it for my money - but I was listening to the guitars by then!!
Woo... running out of superlatives to use here. Haven't heard a track I didn't like yet.
Very nice take on this one.
Yep one of my favourites too
I just KNEW you must have done this one at some point :-) Lovely version
Wonderful flavours - great playing!
Lovely..
tasteful finergings
tuff coolness
Andrew...that is a great story...lol! When you love music as much as you and I do its hard to explain...
Wow...Andrew you are too kind. As a teen I would fall asleep too Electric ladyland or Axis...etc...maybe in some weird way it subliminally affected me...haa!
I like the tune! I saw G3 in '97.
Very nice guitar playing, thanks for the song comments!
OK... I've got to dust my strats off now (I've been enticed away by a cute 335 recently).
Thank you my friend. I have never been much of a shred meister but I try to at least phrase my lead lines to fit within the song.
Back for another listen. I went to bed buzzing last night because of this. Over breakfast, the missus had to put up with me explaining and miming the virtues of this performance...

Great vibe on the lead, Smart playing, not too many notes,but rininging Out all the vibe and tone!!!!!!!

Loving your stuff - fantastic guitars on this one. So much expression in the lead.

Honest song, tastefully done.
Cool tune. Dig the rap....reminds me of something Eric Burdon would do.
Like how it opens up with that hook. Catchy melody.
Like this alot. Nice to listen too.
Really beautiful music.
I like the lyrics and the dark atmosphere. More scorched earth!
Yes like those Seagull ac's. nice playin.
Great vocal and lyrics. The arrangement works perfect.
Tasty opening playing. Fretboard is smokin. Love the legato phrases along with the nasty soulful bends.
Inventive....def have that raga sound.
Good choice....nice.
Hot track. Nice production and songwriting.
Yeah. This is different. Nice combo of sounds.
Nice synth textures.
Love the message! Smaller living quarters, higher taxes, no jobs. Well done. Having a bit of the flu keeps it real. I had just finished a bout with that myself. Get your flu shots!
Brillliant.
Heart warming vox. Like the banjo, it works perfectly. Very nice song.
Very creative. This is art.
Wow. Very well done. A nice pick me up tune.
Nice one. Thats a pretty intense backing track. Your vox fit perfect.
