**Scott Parnell** · 06-28-2006, 02:20 PM

Here is a classic for yas all,,,, Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In The Sky" I Used my Pod 2.0 and my mex strat and my jackson for the guitar parts,, used guitar pro 5 backing,, and asked JPF to add some vocals over this. I must say that JPF sure did add some killer vocals to this,, and thankyou for doing so bud. Hope ya all enjoy.

Yeah!

I love it guys! The best cover of this song for me was the one made by The Kentucky Headhunters, remember them? Awesome stuff dudes!

You did a great job capturing that 60s fuzz tone. Thought John could be a touch louder in the mix. Liked your fills a lot. This is one of your stronger covers. Good post Scott!!

Hi Mr. Parnell.
Very nicely done. You werent kidding about the vocals. I'm here to tell you man. That cat can sing. I wish the level would have been set a little higher on his mic though. A great job done on a good song

Gr8 cover guys!!!!

Well its hitting the sixties feel for sure , fuzzy overdriven cab sounds swell , and you added your own touch , nice ,, but these vocals just hit all the targets , very authentic , and in my book sitting just right in the mix . and well done for beating me to this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 circles guys

This was MARVELOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**JPF** · 07-01-2006, 05:18 PM

THanks everyone for the great comments!!! Really thought Scott did an awesome job here....liked how he kept the "spirit",if you will, of the original, but still made it his own!!!! And yea, the vox is a tad low in the mix...totally my fault...ears had gotten tired and should have taken a break and gave it another listen, but i had made Scott wait long enough for it as it was!!! Thanks again folks!!!!!

Whoa, my mind drifts back..................a lot of memories in there, great tones and singing.

Do I detect some serious Billy Gibbons influence here!!! This sounds to me as how I would imagine the track if it was covered by ZZ Top!!!

Brilliant job on guitars and vocals, loved it.............. much better groove than the original IMHO.

well i hesitated listening to this because i really wasn't a fan of this song. then i thought well its scott and john so it should be worth listening to. well i was right in giving it a chance. you guys really did a nice job on this. scott the guitar tone fuzz style was really cool and john always come through with a killer vocal.
