Blow Baby Blow

Another rock/funk piece (fourth one) I put together about a year and a half ago for the ladies' exercise group in our area. I haven't been able to find the style and tracks. I remember one horn track was midi and the other two were paired RTs. I also remember the style name had "JB" somewhere in it. There's also a little influence from Candy Dulfer's version of "Pick Up The Pieces". It's loud and uptempo for a vigorous workout. The ladies seem to have liked it.

I also used it as somewhat of a tribute to the great musicians who backed James Brown.

In a couple of places, it's a bit more quiet than in most of the song. I had planned to insert a few words in those places then decided against it but didn't remix it as such. Hope you might enjoy it some.

(I've been without Internet most of the past five days, so haven't been around very much.)

Cool - reminds me of side B of Thinking about Little Willy Johns & a few nice things...
The B side is a bundle of mid period Brown tracks without vocal or melody. The midi horn track is probably the one that sounds a little synthy on occasion. A cool funk rnb workout nevertheless.

Nice work on this one! Love the groove on this, and the RealTrack arrangement is superb. It flows remarkably well, and had my toe tapping within instants. I can imagine this sounding unreal in a live setting.

Great job and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

Alan,

This is a superb listen! Every aspect of the music and its production sits really well within the arrangement. The notes and chord changes flow with precision and intent and lead the listener along on a really fine music journey.

When I read that you created this for an exercise group, the image of pounds just flying off came to mind! It's a very energetic composition!

Please say 'Hello' to Di from me.

I wish you both well,
Noel

For somebody that, as I recall, cut his teeth on country you have got this funk thing down!!! As in James Brown get down!

Man, that is cookin' -- great work. As I've said before talent + BiaB = some amazing productions.

Superb!

Thank you, Ray. And you're right about the midi track. I was a bit surprised at how decent it was, though. I felt it blended pretty good. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again.

Hi Deryk,

Always a pleasure to hear from you and the other PG Music folks. Glad it works for. And I agree - this would have even more "jump" to it in a live setting. Best to you.

Hi Noel.

You are always so kind and I appreciate that very much. I don't work nearly as hard on my music as you do, but I have fun doing the basic stuff I know how to do.

I passed your greeting on to Di and she blew you a kiss - gonna have to watch that girl! We both enjoy your music and your visits so much. Wishing you the very best and more thanks.

Alan & Di

Hey Joe! (That was the title to a Carl Smith Country song about 1953)

Thank you very much. I did my best to give some life & energy for the girls. I'm delighted to hear it comes across as such. Many thanks for the very kind words.
