Standhaft Bleiben - Feat Phatkatz Bayou Blues - Joecramer

Very interesting take on a classic blues vibe here! I can't think of any other blues songs which I have heard which were written/sung in German, but I think it works just right, especially in this case! You also are tuning in your vocal style! Those cigar boxes are really sounding good, and it's been cool to see Burton making and using them in music. Brings a new spice to Looperman. Very fun song to hear, and I enjoyed reading the lyrics. Thank you for understanding those of us around the world who are simple minded, and have yet to learn any other languages fluently. Great song!

this one is beautiful, joe! I'm so glad I heard this collab, its an excellent twist from the original. Your skills are improving a lot so kudos to you for that as well :)

Something special as always ! Also this time the vocal delivery gives to the song very distinct carachter...
Essentialy typical blues, yet emphasized with undeniable
progressive accent! Very well done !!

hello Joe

This is a very nice song! I can really appreciate a kind of a natural ambiance and a 'live performance' sound-image of the recording that Rhodesy mentioned. I think you achieved some good recording results - for this kind of music some rusty low sound qualities are much better even, I guess.
Did you use any special reverb or just captured the natural room ambiance? This sounds good and very convincing.

Overall the song is much more a 'narrative' or 'melodic speech' because the actual melody consists of just few notes (without actual 'blue' notes) but it works fine and it probably fits better your type of songwriting. Slow tempo and the low pitched voice make the song sound quite dark (regarding to the vocal tone). Some proper blues melodic patterns incorporated into your singing will probably give more proper 'blues' feel - that would be recognizable straight away as Blues style. You can also add some harmonica parts too. Overall this makes me think you decided to keep vocal line safe and 'minimal' for this project so far and that sounds fine.

Apart of all this it is a nice song and I like your songwriting work!

Best to you, Alex

Always a great raw/real experience upon a visit to your place Joe!
I wish i was sitting in an old bar in Berlin watching you guys play this all night.Beer mugs raised to you!Cheers.

Rhodesy:)

Hi guys. The cbgs and bass sound great. Joe's vocals really change the feel of the song. They sound like they're happening in a different space, creating a trippy dissonance between the two. It's weird, it's different, I like it!

You're getting really good at these arrangements! Love what you've done. You're voice sounds so sinister on some of these. We need our own poster like this ;) https://www.cbgitty.com/gift-ideas/razzy-daddy-spasm-band-historic-themed-12x18-poster/ I want to eventually record one with all different cbgs being used, bass build in the plans too, ordered the tuning keys and have the neck wood set aside. We'll have to get you a soup can homemade mic to keep in the spirit of home built equipment LOL! :D Keep it up Joe! Many more coming your way!
