My latest recording made using the Drums, Bass & Organ from the _BADLUCK.STY (Xtra PAK).

I have added vocals plus rhythm, lead & slide guitars.

The song was mixed using Audacity and various effects such as reverb and echo added.

I wrote this song in the late 70's for the band that I was in at the time (ie. Aces High).
An original live recording of it can be heard at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68z2hYXitGU

Love the laid back groove you have happening on this.
Great riff, very hypnotic and memorable. Nice job on all the guitars, I especially like that tasteful outro solo. Vocals sound good too.
Good song, enjoyed the listen!

Thanks for listening until the end.
I really enjoyed building up that guitar solo.
I tried to get a Doors feel to this song, but there's not much chance that an old guy from the North East of England can sound like Jim Morrison. laugh

Very cool tunes. I did the Doors vibe right away. Super vocal and very nice work on the guitar

This definitely has that trippy 70s vibe going on. Sounds a bit like The Doors in my opinion. Nice fade out at the end. The vocals and guitar sound great. Over all very well done.

What a tune, Andyman smile I really enjoyed the vibe of this one, it had me swaying for sure! I agree with those above who said it in that this reminds me of The Doors, for sure.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

You've certainly kept that seventies vibe a live.
One small criticism at least to my ear is that the vocal gets a little lost in the mix.
Other wise I really enjoyed all fascists of the tune.
Well done.
Rob

Thanks for the kind comment Scott.
Yeah, I know what you mean about the Doors vibe.
It's strange how that only really came about after I had added the slide guitar.

Btw, I've just re-posted the song on Soundcloud as I've added backing vocals on the chorus.

There's also another new version of the song which has a slightly faster tempo and is sung in a different key by my son:

It's been said but, yes, the Doors feel is definitely there. And maybe a hint of JJ Cale with the cool laid back groove.

Very nice performances...vocals and guitar.

We enjoyed it!

YES! I caught some of the Mr. Mojo Rising vibe!! I think the vocals could be a bit louder. Cool stuff!! Take care. Greg

Very well done!
Your guitar sounds great and the backup harmonies work well.
I agree with others that your vocals would benefit from a boost in volume, otherwise its all good. Will head over for a listen to the faster version.
