Hi folks!

I've done another Steely Dan Cover. I can't help myself, it's too much fun!

It's really not finished yet, the mix is really rough (and so are my vocals in places, yikes!)

Anyway, here 'tis:

Daddy Don't Live In That New York City (No More)

There's kind of a story within the recording of this song. The guitar I used I bought sight unseen from Amazon for $140 brand new in the box. I already had a set of Seymour Duncan pickups laying around so...

I'm telling you, this guitar sings. It's one of those magical marriages of wood and pickups that somehow goes WAY above the sum of it's parts.

My band-mates call it "The Unicorn", because things like that only exist in myths, right? 

Also: The main guitar part on the original recording was done by Larry Carlton, one of the G.O.A.T.'s. My apologies Larry.

OK, so I redid everything except the vocal, bass, and solos, and added another rhythm guitar. Also a (hopefully) much better mix.....

I like it a lot better now!

Born Under A Bad Sign

Thanks for listening!!!

Just jamming with myself basically, getting back to my roots so to speak...

Anyway, this song was written by Booker T. Jones (if you don't know, Google!) and covered by everybody from Peter, Paul, and Mary to Joe Bonamassa. And now me!

Born Under A Bad Sign

I had planned to make this a whole production thing, with horns and back ground singers and all, but I kinda like it like it is, just bare bones and fun....

Hope you enjoy it!

I have remixed 50:1 Gas To Oil

I think it's a lot punchier and cleaner now.

I hope you enjoy it! 

Thanks!!

This is just a lazy groove thing perfect for an early summer weekend!!!!

50:1 Gas To Oil

This was inspired by a Jeff Beck tune called "Big Block".

I once heard that originality is a result of people unsuccessfully trying to imitate their influences.......

Hey! I'm an original!!

I NEED YOUR HELP!!This is a song that a friend of mine and I wrote. It's our first collaboration and we'd like your opinion. This is actually a rough mix with a first vocal take but you'll get the idea. 

Thanks so much!!
