Heres one for all you Old School players like myself - Memphis Tennessee.

I did this song a long time ago, like 1993 - but I still think this track is kinda cool. For one thing I was doing a lot of experimenting with vocals - so you all get to hear me sing on this one - complete with background vocals!

The main slide guitar was my old Gibson SG with PAF DiMarzio's and a Kahler. (The guitar is no more) Note background slide fills..

Drum machine was a stupid old Yamaha with pads - I was actually hitting the pads with drum sticks - how low tech eh? But it's all I had at the time - so I just went for it.

The song may be too long but I didn't care - it was all for the fun of the music.

Hope you all have a listen! It's a real raw sounding thing I think - kinda Johnny Rivers like Hehehh

Thanks!

Thanks so much for listening everyone!

You all don't think it's too raw sounding?

Got your booty shakin' eh Rain? A nice booty I'm sure it is too!

One of my FAVS! Great Job!

It's an old recording of mine. Did it all on my PortaStudio - theres tape fade outs in it if you listen closley. (The vocals fade out in some spots due to tape degradation) It's not perfect at all - but still fun..

You are one hell of a slide player man. Who cares if it sounds raw it's pretty damn good. Vocals are class too.

Thanks Phil!

The vibe on this is really cool. It actually feels kind of like a vintage recording that you'd hear on a 45. The slide sounds great and the whole song just rocks - a lot!! :devilchil

Thats a good description Ksdb - I totaly agree.

I'm glad you like it!

this is brilliant. I love the playing but the drums are brilliant mate! I love it when the beat goes slightly off it makes it so human. but as for the rest I have to say the playing and the singing is superb. It also helps that this is one of my favourite Chuck Berry songs.

Top job!

Brilliant? Think maybe thats a little much there Goport old pal? Thanks much though. Yeah the drums, OMG - imagine me wacking on those Yamaha drum pads - what a sight I bet it was. Yeah the drums are barely* sufficent. But like I said at the time it's all I had.

Thanks Goport, Rock On!

PS - I got a Dulcimer for Christmas! It's cool!
