Well...after thinking that would be my lot for this year...
I had done a rough demo with a Simon Phillips Drum Loop Set in the style of The Stone Roses...so I thought I'd give that a go. I didn't like my lead vocal and I was goofing around with some online voice generators...it was very nearly Bugs Bunny...but I settled on Morgan Freeman...very kind of him to oblige
Well...to virtually oblige...
I thought I'd likely not include this one, but then I thought the artificial voice might make it OK when it otherwise wasn't very good. After all...if it turned out rubbish, I could always blame Morgan...
Some lead vocalists can be such divas...
I have another demo I did which was intended to be a "Cure" type of thing...but I've sort of ran out of time...and I don't see much point in posting something half-assed just so I can say "I did it" so I didn't quite manage 14. Even though there were a couple of so-so lyrics I threw in, I just about scraped enough together for an album...11 songs coming in at 32'48"
A final "Thank You" so much to everyone for their super encouragement...it honestly made a massive difference to me...and helped enormously.
I whacked them all into “Amuse” to put out as an album which is due to be released on 25/03/23…so that’s it done with…all written, played, recorded and mixed in 25 days.
We have a gig tonight and then I'm off to put my feet up, lounge around a pool, stuff my face and quaff cheap plonk for a few days :)
