Tony – ‘A feel good Blues Song ! I’d been playing around with this for a while, singing at parties and rehearsals, but it never had set words or arrangement. So, time to tidy it up and produce a definitive version! First thing I wrote the final version of the words, leaving out some of the ‘party’ ones such as ‘My girl is foreign, my girl she’s Japanese, she loves me best when she gets down on her…’ yep, maybe in a live version! Next up I put down the lead vocal and a sort of acoustic-harpsichord sounding guitar over a simple drum. At this stage it looked like it might have an ‘unplugged’ feel. When Joe came over he put down a couple of different guitar ideas, all great but overall we knew the track wasn’t quite there yet. So, while Joe went out to the car for some gear I added an extra slightly distorted rhythm guitar and reset the rough mix entirely. When I played it back we just knew it was right, smiles of satisfaction all round! A cool twelve bar groove in Am. Chocolate biscuits and coffee to celebrate!
‘Joe – ‘This is one of my own favourites, I’m not sure why but,for me it just works.A simple little song , nicely recorded and sung by Tony.
I added a few backing vocals and some easy going lead. Yep – I like that one’
