T-Bone Shuffle

[derek_r]

I've been away a while - my laptop finally gave up the ghost after many years. Got a new one now Struggling to find any time and space to practice my singing at the moment. I like to do it when the house is empty, but we've got a houseful at the moment and there's always someone around. Might be a year or so before things are back to normal. Blame the recession.

Anyway, here's a clip of me with the band. I don't think I posted this here before, forgive me if I have. This is T-Bone Walker's T-Bone Shuffle. We just have fun with it - kazoo's and what have you.

Definitely got an "Elvis" vibe going on. Old school. I like it.

The reverb is a little intense on the vocals but that is an editing preference. Was this a demo track that you might work up in to a professional release later?

I would say, keep the arrangement, just back off the reverb a smidge.

Thanks Ronws. This tune always seems to go down well at gigs so we did a recording off the desk, the sound engineer man fooled around with it, and the result meant we had something to put on our website. We keep threatening to go into a proper studio but so far we've always gone down the pub instead!

Not many blues men around here. Sounds pretty good. It had an authentic 50's feel to it.
