"Soldier Son"

[tigue710]

not bad, you guys have played togehter for awhile, real tight. I think its a nice song, the vocalest might want to work a little on his lows in the song body but he has really good voice, strong. You guys have the reverb up a little? One of my favorite effects. Have kinda of an early 90's sound going. Do you have any other songs recorded? What kind of covers do you play when you jam?

We just finished another original, Matt, called "Broken Bottle", that we recorded at Rocking Horse studio in Pittsfield NH.
I should have a mix of that soon.
We do alot of various cover songs from Allman Bros to STP and we also do some Motown.
I believe there is reverb and echo effects on the vocals. I wasn't there for the mix, so I can only go by what I hear.

Here is the updated version, not the one on Myspace.

cool... I use reverb on my recordings (I dont record much) just to clean it up a little. I usually just do vocal and acoustic guitar, so the reverb helps a lot. My pop's is a drummer, when I was a little kid I used to go to gigs with him. I still remember being like 5 years old and dancing with the bartenders! He was in a band called Fountain head when I was a kid, they were a real big band in CT. Everyone thought they were going to make it big but turmoil split the band up. He still plays out though and they just bought a reeeeeeeeal nice digital sound studio recorder. It records some insane amount of tracks, like 160?, burns the CDs and everything. It also has a built in studio. There own recordings they make with this equipment sounds 10 times better then the studio stuff they did. The band hes in now is called out of blue, and they do mostly 60's Motown rock style music. A lot of Chicago, that kind of stuff. I just play guitar for fun myself, but I've recorded a few originals. I was trying to sell them but cant find a legitimate outlet. If you ever hear of Paramount group out Nashville, STAY AWAY!

Excellent! You have a "keeper" there. It should work out to be a very popular recording, especially considering the situation in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Thanks, Rich.
We did three takes on this song and this one I thought was the best drum sound to it.
Some of the other takes the drums were too busy so I did one last take. The one you hear on the mix.
Sometimes less is more.
I tried to keep it simple for people to relate.
Also, we purposely tried to give to it a middle eastern sound to it, esp. the guitar intro and tag.
We have an intro that is almost the same as the ending, but we thought to try it this way first.
Either way, we're getting ready to master the mix.
