All Night Tears


Good to be back after a very long illness.

I put this together back in November - a couple days work (maybe 7 or 8 hours total), It's a strong and powerful guitar blues, somewhat in the style of Gary Moore. The snare hit is poretty strong in the mix. I backed it off a bit, but when I did, I lost some of the "attitude" of the song, So I put it back. I like it better being a little strong.

Any comments and/or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance - hope you might like it a little.

Hope 2023 treats all of you with best of everything.

HI Ray. I've been a Gary Moore fan since the first time I heard "Still Got The Blues". Tghe man could pack a lot of emotion in tyo 3 or 4 m inutes. Always liked his tyone, too. I massaged the lead guitar on this with the five-band equalizer several times before gettiung the sound I wanted.

Glad you liked itg - much appreciated. Thanks for letgting me know. Best to ya, mate!

Alan...I definitely love the style of this....it has some muscle to it and yet a real sultry feel...bluesy-rock ballad for sure...would be a cool soundtrack to the right video material...very cool arrangement of the solo guitar...and I love the slow, slow fade out of the music at the end (too many folks cut the tails off too early)...glad your back and hope you feel well...crank'em up and let's hear some more!

Good to have you back, Al.

Your song definitely has a great Gary Moore vibe to it, and since I love Gary Moore, I love your song too, simple as that.

Great job!

Hi Mario ...

I've missed so much excellent music over the past few weeks. Glad this works for you. Gotta love the Blues!

Glad to hear you're back in the saddle.
A great use of BiaB and I too like Gary Moore's style a lot, I could almost hear his vocals in your song.

Great job.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Oh, yeah, Alan, this song has a TON of attitude. Man, I love this style of guitar, and you gave it a wonderful bed to lay down that magic. All Night Tears is a terrific name for this.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Alan,

Didn't know you had serious health problems. I hope you are ok now?
Your song definitly is! What a great sounding song you made. Very catchy, especially the solo.
You are getting close to Gary now (let's forget for a moment you weren't playing the guitar...)

Enjoyed it all and glad you are back. I missed you and your comments!
And best wishes to Di,

Hans

Alan, I love loud drums and this is just right. You nailed the GM tone , the eq and the delay + reverb fit perfectly. Great mix. I surely did enjoy it! Feel better, Tom
