Description : This song is about desire (forbidden fruit). I'm sure this little story will ring true with a few here. I have pulled all the stops out on this, 9 piece horn section, soaring lead guitar intro and link from my Les Paul, bass and tenor sax solos (first bass solo I have ever recorded). The song has a blues flavour with a twist of slow latin mixed. I don't know how that happened, but I'm glad it did.

All comments welcome,
Cheers Slap...

Hi ElectricKitten, I'm glad you liked the bass solo so much! Up North in England we say "The Dogs" as in dogs bollocks, meaning good or cool. But the real question is "Are dogs bollocks cool"! The last time I held a pair they were warm lol...

This is epic, reminds me of santana, Only crit is that the lead guit is too far "back", less reverb could bring that great guitar line to its rightful place at the lead of the band. Otherwise great Mix, great playing.
SLAPJOHNSON
SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown
Hi Acrylic, I will look at your suggestion on the guitar issue, I feel you have a valid point. Being a woodwind player firstly reverb is a effect I always use, however I have to start thinking of the guitar as a guitar and not as woodwind. Thank you for your kind supportive words..

Super!...Love that line "I could dance my life away"....When you hear one of these compilations of one individual's musical dexterity you think...Holy Cow,there must have been a logjam in the reincarnation switchboard the day this guy was born..there's about a half dozen different muso's inside him!...and to top it all off he's just put a lot of Bass players out of work!(great solo by the way!)...I'm in agreement with Bill..we should give up playing or at least find an instrument you can't play...Hmmmm..this is going to be hard. lol...fantastic track mate,smooth and smokey and way sexy...cheers planet :)

Hi Planet, or should I say Mr 1000+ reviews (well done Man). I loved the studio pic you posted, wow! What a set up. I will post mine up soon (to be honest, mine's a very small one! Studio that is!!!).Thanks for the kind words on the track, I've been kind of busy doing other stuff to get the lyrics finished on this track. So today I pushed everything to one side and cracked on. The music's been finished since July! But then again I do have 38 other tracks that need finishing off. If only we had more hours in a day!

Cheers Slap...

I love this track Slap.
I'd have loved a deaper bass solo though, but the high notes worked great.
Are you using an octaver on the lead guitar parts because something sounds wrong with it, pitch wise. Other than that it's perfect.
Great track.
SLAPJOHNSON
SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown
Hi Helix, I did'nt use an octaver pedal, but I did cut and paste the guitar and transpose it down a octave. It kind of clashes in places! I have now remixed the song and removed that part, I think it has now fix that problem. Thanks for pointing it out... Cheers Slap...

Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!

Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.

Enjoy and download away.

Description : A sultry, seductive, and fairly short acoustic blues number. It is an instrumental and only took about 2 hours to write, record, and get a decent mix. Enjoy! Updated: I added some slight echo to the electric guitar and widened the stereo fields of the acoustic rhythm and leads.

Description : Fresh out of the studio after 10 weeks of deliberating, planning, writing and performing.
This could be classed as Country Blues or Southern Rock...either way I think it may get your toes tapping. So grab your partner and jump on the dance floor with this one.
I am performing the following instruments...vocals, electric guitars, slide acoustic, bass, harmonica, organ. I wrote the following instrument parts in MIDI....drums, percussion, piano, horns. This was a beast to master but I think it turned out okay.
No loops used.

Description : UPDATE 26/01/2014: Improved loads of things in what is probably my greatest chillout alternative blues piece. Ambient, ethereal, groove-based delta slide blues. Contemplative and melodic. Multiple, layered , sometimes shimmering resonator guitar parts with solid, warm synth bass, an ethereal bed of pads (which are actually guitars) and second electronic drumkit to contrast the acoustic kits. I thought this was perfect a few years ago but it wasn't (and still isn't). Now has clearer drums and lots of small awkward bits of guitar have been trimmed. Quite a minimalistic and short piece for me - I don't just keep bringing in new instruments, as I usually do. This should really chill you out...
