All realtracks here, apart from the vocal and the drum kit. Mixed in Logic Pro. [Link no longer valid]
Cruising down the highway My girl by my side Ocean far below us Ocean deep and wide Deep and wide
My girl sits in silence She don’t know what for Silence is a virtue When you’re running from the law From the law
Watch her in the water Watch her get undressed Freedom is a pretty thing I know I think I guess I think I guess
Cruising down the highway Shark nets hunt me down Coppers in the shadows The cops who run this town Hunt me down
My girl she knows nothing I pray it stays that way Her innocence is a flower If it only lasts a day Lasts a day
A shark is to the ocean What greed is to a man The strong alone survive The rest of us are lambs The rest of us are lambs
You’ll read it in the papers Boner’s on the run When I disappear forever You’ll know the [*****] won They won
----------- Here are the Realtracks: RealTracks in style: 1732:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockFunky Ev16 090 RealTracks in song: 2619:Organ, Rhythm Funk Ev 100 RealTracks in song: 2525:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm FunkWahWahChords Ev16 100 RealTracks in song: 2403:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FunkyFolk Ev16 110 RealTracks in song: ~586:Harmonica, Background Blues Roadhouse Ev 120
I started with the _TXBLZFN.STY style but customised the instruments for the song eg the harmonica is not in the original style (but suited it so well!).

Terrific groove and cool lyrics. The back track is very nicely layered ( love the harp & B3 together!). Your vocal has an interesting treatment and echo: I`d be interested in how it was achieved.

Thanks Scott and Robert. The vocal is radically filtered top and bottom for a telephone-like effect. There's a bit of distortion and widening on there too. The echoes are a throw delay automated to emphasise certain words in the song. It took me a while to get the sound I wanted but ultimately was easily achieved with Waves CLA Effects plugin.

Howdy,
This is really different from you! Love the vocal effect and the funky beat. Cool song and a pleasant surprise! Best to you,
Alan
PS: I like the way you used the wah-wah for the lead break - interesting!

Cheers Rob and Alan. Yeah a fair bit of experimentation for this production. I found four wahs from the same family amongst the Realtracks and used them all. The most melodic I saved for the instrumental choruses. I considered other lead options but thought nah keep it funky from head to toe.

Oh yeah, we love it when a forum regular takes you to a new music place.
The vocal effects and wahs are both creative and effective.
And the dark lyric is great.
It's literally ALL good.
Superbly cool!!!

Cool song!! Has a great feel. I really like that megaphone style on the vocal for this song. Harmonica works great! Nice job!! Take care. Greg
