 |
|
| Bit of a work in progress. I found this "Alabama" cover on an old 4 track cassette last week. I like the drums, bass, and piano. I think the single guitar needs replacing with two better sounding ones, and of course a couple of vocal tracks by someone other than me need to be added. |

Awesome! I wouldn't change a thing, except to let me lay down a vocal track, I do a pretty good Neil Young. That's the song Skynyrd wrote "Sweet Home Alabama" as a response to.

Hey no problem jimmy, give it a shot. The problem I have with the guitar is the fact that the tuning gets pretty dicey around the last verse. |

Well If I were from the south I'd have issues with a Canadian hippie scolding me too, but you can't argue with the music itself IT ROCKS!!! |

You're a damn fine guitarist. You're in a band where they tell you that they won't play your song selections? (Mentioned on another thread) Have they really listened to you play? They're idiots.

The problem I think is the age difference. The singer's got a good voice, and is a great guy, but he's 13-14 years younger than the rest of us, and he questions a lot of my picks as being "too obscure" just because he hasn't heard them. The latest one he thought nobody in the audience would recognize was "Diamond Dogs" by Bowie  |

To be honest "Rebel Rebel" off the same album would be a better choice. Unfortunately we can't do too many deep cuts in a band, unless you're an original act and throwing a cover in once in a while.

Too obscure? Let's say you have 40 tunes in a show all of which most everybody would recognize. What the hell is wrong with sticking an "obscure" tune in once in a while? Maybe in the third or fourth set. Is the audience going to get up and leave if they don't recognize ONE tune? We PERFORM MANY obscure tunes and some originals each set which NOBODY knows. Never lost a crowd yet...

We already are doing Rebel Rebel. My Fender Esquire thru my Supro amp really nails that intro. |
