Just doing a little Jerry Lee tribute using BIAB, used the Texas Blues, rocakabilly style. Corey will add some Jerry Lee licks to this when he gets around to it, and I will resubmit the song. Thanks Cliff

[Link no longer valid]

Well we were sittin on the couch listening to some rockin songs
the radio was giving us a taste of rock a billy tone
an Jerry lee was cooking up a little bit of rock n roll

He was making that radio jump like a fly on the wall
we were gettin into it listening to ole Jerry lee squall
his piano was bouncing every particle in our soul

Chorus
There was a whole lot a shakin and bakin going around
and great balls of fire from heaven were coming down
I can tell you Dr Jerry had us all feeling just right
Preacher dont teach it, we're rocking with the killer tonight

Instrumental

We had to get a little air and rest between a couple of songs
but only for a minute cause they played them all night long.
He had the bull by the horn and he wasn't gonna leave it alone

Chorus

Well done Cliftond, this was wonderful! Excellent mixdown on all of this and the instruments are layered nicely. Quite enjoyed those guitar licks and the lyrics are quite fun too. Thanks for sharing!

Thank You Joe!!!

Thank You sir, we were listening to his album last man standing done in 2006, how good he still played and sounded then, and of course we were listening to all of his classic hits to kinda get the feel here.

A good JLL vibe, for sure.

The chorus is especially nice...

Rockin'

Man did you capture that 50's rockabilly sound perfectly!

You had me from the first measure on this one.

That definitely in the JLL vibe zone!

Super song!

Thank you Dee Jay, hope to get Corey on the piano this week. Will post as soon as he plays it.
Posted By: rayc Re: Rocking with the Killer Tonight - 06/22/19 10:45 AM
Great fun and a cool vibe - I look forward to the 88 additions.
There's some powerful sibilance happening in the 1st verse - and only occasionally after that that could be addressed when you get to adding the piano licks.
Rockin'
