Well done. I'm all for free speech, but I question motives of those who want to burn books, flags, etc. for any "cause". I think the burner's seek attention for themselves more often than not.

Yes, I can see why you wanted to cover this Chris. A great performance all round.

this one is so very cool!! everything

very cool!

Wild! :D

it's one of these songs you'd wish they'd go on and on.. most excellent!

Badass!! Feverish playing - I love it. This will suffer many, many listens from me - So glad it's a 320K mp3. Norm, you rocked it, too - Brilliant percussion that is not overdone and fits in perfectly!

Damn! That guitar work is as raw and tortured sounding as it gets. Very cool! I'm gonna go rub some salt in an open wound now!

:)

Rrrrrrr!!!!! You're a growly lover! Buddy would be proud. :-) This is the definitive AT cover, guys. Chris's vision, as it should be! Nice one!

Gritty, raw, cool Tramp tribute. I think the fretless guitar is excellent. perc matches the raw feel.

There's certainly a kernel of something really good here. I'll stay tuned!

The story cracked me up. Your fretless guitar would be perfect for slide guitar, i'm learning slide some now , easy to do basic style but hard to be great at it as are all things. Great vocal on this tune,i'm impressed.

Badass, yawl. I can attest BG is microtonal having seen him, his strings bends are often slightly sharp, an amazing gtrist when he wants to be.

I'm digging this raw riff, actually the whole piece is raw...nice!

Nice tune, sounds like Jimmy Page material

Here it is baby: This is your best vocal work ever... not nearly as sexy as the sister's rendition (and I love the shock value of a girl singing this one – I really hope that gem gets posted too) but your enthusiasm is infectious and it brings me joy to hear you torturing your fretless guitar. Was that a bit of a laugh I heard at one point? Well, it works for you. Call me country… Trap set? We don’t need no stinking trap sets. Tambourine, cajón and cymbals.

Everything I like. Distorted guitars, solid bass line, serious percussion, Hardly a train wreck Sir. It rocks.

Perfect ending!!

Damn, you parked this one right in between the flats and sharps. There's a lot to listen to.

Beautiful!!Great work here!

my dad at one time helped with a radio show - if I remember correctly Tilden High School in Chicago had a radio transmitter. This would have come from there. My son traced this back to about 1923. My father tended to bring things home from where he worked, etc. He even brought home, as far as I could tell, the entire Data General railroad traffic controlling computer - vintage early 70's - the programs were loaded via punched paper tapes - when it got replaced. And no, it wasn't used on this piece. Ben has it. But at 1000 Hz he should be able to get it work if he feeds it the right kind of electricity.

I love the floating feel this has.

also - you have an astounding memory!

Ha - this riff is mine? I sure don't remember it - now I feel embarrassed about my comment :-)

excellent! I love the opening guitar riff and cool ending!

Nailed Tom's voice!

Very Tom Waits - love it!

wow your voice sounds so like the Kinks!

love your voice here!

I found my answer "These pieces are recorded live in my home studio. They are made with an electric guitar played through a laptop and a dedicated hardware looper."

What do you have in your ambient rig? I am enjoying your work!

Hi Bethan - I have no idea who played it - but they did an excellent job. The midi file I found somewhere in the 90's.

wow - another side totally! I like the string / piano combination.

Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.

I love that metallic sound!

The cello work is especially good.

nicely done!!

excellent - this is a great song perfectly played and sung!!
