Description : Well....here is a tune I have been working on for about 2 months. The first part is basically country music, featuring Dobro, Fiddle, Piano, Pedal steel, Banjo, Harmonica and Flat pickin' Acoustic guitar with pull-off's- hammer-on, etc.
The second part of this tune is pure Cajun music straight from the bayou's of Lousiana, featuring Accordion and Fiddle.
Since I couldn't find any royalty free Accordion Cajun music, My friend Chris Miller from Lake Charles, LA, let me use part of one of his tunes so I could finish this project.
In return, I gave him all rights to use this whole song on his next CD if he wants to. (He won the 2008 CFMA award this year).
On this tune I am not playing the drums, fiddle, harmonica or Accordion (All those from loops). But I am playing all the rest of the instruments. I didn't put a lot of 5-string banjo in as I am a little rusty on that. Maybe next time. :-)
The song may be a little bass heavy for some as I geared it toward computer speakers more.
So if you like this type of music, put on your knee high boots, give a listen, and dance away.

Description : It was a long winter here, at Dartmoor. 4 Month of continued rain and damp. And suddenly (Drummroll), the sun came back. That did remind me of a collaboration with Silver Bella and her Acapella "Keep the Faith" from last year. A positive song which could have the potential to make a difference to the day. Thanks SB :-)

Description : This is my first serious attempt at a country song.
I am playing all instruments except for the drums....they are MIDI.
The song allowed me the opportunity to try my son-in-laws 1981 Gibson J40 acoustic, my new Dean Resonator Guitar and my new harmonica.
I hope you enjoy.

Glad you liked this tune as well. Cajun music isn't that popular up north where I am, but it certainly is in the south and in some European countries.
Thanks for your review.
Randy
Keep up the great work!
Wayne, the Humps
Sorry that I am a little slow in getting back to you. I am working 12 hours a day, everyday for about a couple months now.
Thanks a lot for stopping by and giving this country/cajun tune a listen and review. I am glad you enjoyed it. Guess I should do more fo theis than the rock I do.
I will give one of your tunes a listen and give a review back in kind.
Thanks again,
Randy
i did grow up with this kind of music while listening to afn, the radio-station of the GIs in Berlin and i love it.
Thanks a lot for reviewing one of my country tunes. My main roots are country, but I also do Blues and Rock some.
This particular tune took me about 2 months to put together. I used loops in parts that I don't play or own an instrument myself.
I usually use live recorded drum sets from www.betamonkeymusic.com as you usually have a choice of 16 or 24 bit wav files for drums. Not synth type drums you usually hear or make with a software program. Or if you have a drum machine, they do very well too. This kind of country don't take much drums so I am referring to my other tunes I did as well. Particulary rock.
I play 6 instruments so that helps too. All the other parts were done with the help of loops.
The Cajun part was made with the hep of a friend of mine in Louisianna.
Glad you liked the tune.
Randy
Wow.. In one way.. I am like hell yah! LOVING THIS.
And then in the other... I am like... I have this guy's E-mail address!!!?!?!? WOW I kinda know you!! lol...
The first part... Like... Don't be upset with me, this is FANTASTIC, but to me, just my opinion, I did want the changes to be smoother.. It felt a little jigsawed, and the edges got frayed... But The fact you did this all yerself... Randy... You rule.... This hobby of yours is really bigger than you, because you really make me think about music and how to turn peoples heads.
(for example... I wanted the harmonica to breath more... Like I could hear him getting ready and finishing....)
lol... Wow, Loving the banjos. That legato guitar stuff and the phrasing.. wow (that acoustic lick is definitely the standout) followed by the really fantastic pedal steel, that was awesome, but I love that Whoooooooooooooooooooooo sound... It sounded like a party.. I am really awed. My mouth is open lol...
I really like the cajun part. I guess I do think of fairs and county music, but I think about my first love.... She loved this kind of music.
And I do too.
(Ps thanks for e-mailing!!!)
Nice to have you back. I appreciate you giving me a review back on this country/cajun mix. This is the real deal! Doesn't get much better as far as original sounds, but I can agree with you on the minor stuff.
Smoother changes from one part to another, harmonica breathing. (Totally all loops for this part) That whooooo type sound is a guy yelling something like Aaaaahhhhhiiiieeee. Typical cajun yell. :-)
Thanks for the review and again nice to hear from you.
It you wanna a rock tune to play along with, check out 'Rock my World' when you get a chance.
I left the lead guitar volume lower in the first part for that purpose.
Randy
Oh and that Cajun bit...."Love it" Reminded me of that movie...what is it again..the one where the national guard are stuck in the swamp land...?? Shit!! Cant remember..but anyway..yeah, great song man...and the cajun bit blew me away!!!
Hey man, thanks for checking out my country/Cajun mix. I enjoyed doing that one a lot and put about 12 different instruments in it including triangle and washboard on the first Cajun one.
The harmonica part in the Cajun part was made by the fellow in Louisiana as he did that part.
The harmonmica parts I assembled from many loops from a new disk I bought, so they'd fit all together nicely.
Tried to make a sort of chicken clucking sound in one part..haha
Not sure of the song your talking about either.
Cajun music is just so cool I had to add it onto my tune.
Thanks for your review and am glad you enjoyed it. The 1st. country song I made is also listed, but that was the fisrt song I ever made with software and my playing together. I did it while I was learning Pro Tools.
Randy
Thanks for stopping by and checking out this tune. I played one of your tunes and left a review....so it is good that you didn't mind playing a tune that you don't normally make yourself.
I mean it looks like your into more hip hop style and that is cool!
I make/play several styles of music, but mostly Country, Blues, and Rock right now is a favorite.
Thanks again for your review and am glad you felt as tho you were at the county fair. Sparking an emotion or conjuring up a past memory is good,
Randy
dont know why but I kept thinking of the dukes of hazard :-)
would love to hear some pedal steel or banjo loops. You should do a christmas track with just pedal steel
I don't believe we've met! :-)))
Your right, this is really two different types of music, but no Cajun genre exist here.
'The Dukes of Hazzard' was a great weekly TV series. I loved that orange car and all the antics that went on throughout the show. And that cute Daisy Duke.....oh my, what else can I say....!
A silly weekly TV program, and later a movie, but once you started watching it, you usually got hooked.
The music they played was mostly country songs of popular artist of the day.
Pedal Steel and Banjo songs....well, I can do that. The banjo as I mentioned earlier here is one instrument I haven't kept up on as often as the other instruments.
But it has the same open 'G' tuning as my new Dobro, so I could almost do both together.
I don't think I can get something together by this Christmas tho with the overtime coming up at work. Guys taking time off to go deer hunting and trying to use up their vacation time before the new year starts.
Anyways, thanks a lot for coming by and for your nice review. It is certainly appreciated,
Randy
Ahhh, great that you got to hear this tune. I was thinking of sending you a private E-mail as I knew you would like something like this...with harmonica and all.
I tried to get a cluck-cluck-cluck chicken sound using it in a couple places. :-)))
Cajun is one of my favortie types of music, but as I mentioned in another note here, it isn't around here where I live.
If by chance your interested in hearing some more, here is that fellows (Chris Miller) web site. http://www.bayouroots.com
Has some short samples to listen to. His CD is available really cheap too as he mentions on the web site. Available from C'D Baby' and others.
Let me be clear tho, I am not trying to push sales for him at all! We just had an agreement to use part of his tune into mine.
Thanks alot for your review, I appreciate it.
Randy
So did get your boots on and dance the Clog maybe? :))))
I appreciate your long review and I feel good about the tune myself too. Making track after track of each instrument, so as to have its own style and sound and 'flavor', but yet fit in the whole picture without a stumble.
Not an easy task, but very rewarding when the whole project is done and you hear the results of your labours.
I think I need to retire just so I can keep up practicing my instruments.
I was really good on the 5-string Banjo once...able to keep up with Earl Scruggs and had the same detuners to get those dropped string sounds...like on his 'Flint Hill Special' song. So cool.
I am country at heart, but hearing me doing rock songs and blues, I just can't stop making any of them.
So anyways, Dave, thanks again for you nice comments. I've got a mean bass line coming to mind and I'll add that into my next rock tune.
Later,
Randy
