Rhythm & Brews is a night spot in downtown Chattanooga and is the host of a lot of good bands. Gary Bartley and Ranse Whitworth are friends of mine who both play the keyboards for their bands. Gary for The Blues Hammer band and Ranse for The Beaters. Both of these bands have played at Rhythm & Brews and I thought it would be fun to write a song about all three as if Daniel & his All-Star Rhythm Band were playing live at Rhythm & Brews as a tribute to my friends. Rhythm & Brews Well I gotta get down To the Rhythm & Brews Downtown Chattanooga And I wanna hear the music That lifts me up From two great bands That can really bring it to ya And the Blues Hammer Band Has a real smooth sound And when the B3 cranks You can see Gary smile And my heart starts pounding As my feet hit the ground Oh the Beaters They can sure play that Ole rock n roll And Ranse knows his ivory yeah Cause it’s better than pure solid gold Yeah all right It’s my favorite sound Oh yes it is Can’t you feel it All that rhythm & blues The boys are jumping As they bring it on down So come on join the fun Get to Rhythm & Brews Have a party Make some memories With your friends All right now let’s Bring it to an end All RealTracks with Daniel Hensley on all vocals Style - _TBLZSHS.sty Drums - Blues Rock Shuffle Bass - 1583 - Craig Young B3 organ - 674 - Chris Nole Guitar - 1584 - Brent Mason Slide guitar solo - 418 - Steve Hinson Guitar solo - Sol Philcox Special effects HP AMD Athlon(tm)II B28 processor with 3.4 GHz 16GB ram - Win10 pro - Mixcraft 7 DAW with Waves Diamond effects - 32" Westinghouse flat screen monitor - Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 interface - Studio Projects B1 mic - Sony MDR 7506 and Sennheiser HD 202 headphones - 2014 BIAB.

You really captured the live feel here! I felt like I was in a bar, having a beer and listening to some great blues! It can be hard to capture that feel but you nailed it.
This is so good that I had to crack open a Budweiser and listen again.
You nailed this one!

Cool work Sonny and Daniel!
This definitely sounds like a live ambience.
We take it you added some 'live' samples?

Sonny and Daniel. Knockout for sure. This is really well put together, and some of the playing is just sensational.
Daniel's vocals are absolutely fantastic.
What a great delivery, all 'round.

Very interesting concept piece here man. Kind of like the Southern Rock version of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Rhythm & Blues Heart Band, Featuring Daniel Hensley and his All Star Band.  Were you doing it for the benefit of Mr. Kite???? Great job man, very creative and a rockin' good sound. !

You nailed this one! Mario you can have the Bud, I'll take an IPA! Make that two! This makes me thirsty. Nice crowd noise and the reverb on the bass and drums really adds to the live feel. Once again great vocal and arrangement. Outstanding job! Tom

Thanks Rob and Anne-Marie, you would be correct. I took a live audience download along with a few other sound effects to try and create a live feel. I listened to one of the live recordings of the Blues Hammer Band (mentioned in the song) and got a few ideas from there recording. Sonny

Love that line, Sonny.
This is terrific. Daniel is in great form.
Great "live band" sound. A fun listen. Killer mix.
One of your best (among a bunch of solid offerings).
Nice!

Sonny,
Incredible! The style of the song is different from mine, but I think there are a lot to learn how to make songs and use BIAB.
And R&B! Great sense of humor.

Hi Sonny.
An impressive piece of work you've put together, here. It's not easy to get a live sound, but you've captured it perfectly.
Loved everything about this track. If I close my eyes I'm right there in the club.
Terrific.
ROG.

Were you doing it for the benefit of Mr. Kite???? Great job man, very creative and a rockin' good sound. ! I actually have that album on reel to reel that I bought back in 67' but no, Mr. Kite was never a thought in the process of this song (lol). Thanks David for sharing your thoughts, I do appreciate them. Sonny Hi Sonny and Daniel,

floyd I am always game for something different (kinda like you and your punk rock song) to stir up the pot. There is so much that can be done with BIAB and basically we are only limited by our imagination. Thanks Floyd for the kind words of encouragement. Sonny Sonny,
