Six Days on the ROAD(fixed)
Release
-->
Greg said I should release something...and I realized it had been way, way too long since I recorded. So here's an apeshit cover of a classic country song. I spent a full 6 hours in one sitting recording this song.
I was going for that blurry and sore feeling you get when you've been on the road too long. I've been working on my chicken shack guitar licks, trying to go for maximum cheese in terms of tone and playing. Watching 60's biker movies will do this to you. The guitar is run through guitar rig 2, the bass is just run direct to my mixer through a DI.
And yes, I know the ending was distasteful, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. | |

it's like something john wayne would have recorded if he had gotten kidnapped by the symbionese liberation army and fed peyote for six months

Dave, this has to be my favorite trucking song ever. What a different version,
so creative and fun. There's allot to like about this. Like teh beast that submerges
from your vocal breakdown. As for breakdown, How about that a.d.d. percussion break down
its dope. Your voice is perfect for this cause your so a bass.
Guitar, paino and bass sounds are great synths as (beats) always are wonderful. Also, I really noticed something...your guitar playing has come a great ways man. Sounds like your practicing allot. See I know we'd
work well together cause you work fast too when you have free time. I wan't an entire record of this
truckin stuff, its so freakin cool. I love the tragedy if it all, cause he dies. Maybe its the little white pills, lol.
MORE!
Your like the guy I wish I could pull out of my pocket to master my stuff, I don't leave the
house as it is, imagine if I could, I'd never leave home again. You give F.L. a good name.
You make me proud to use f.L., lol. If this site were filled with you and a few others I can think of
and no more I'd be much happier with the quality of this site. We should begin our own page.

Great stuff. The first time a track on here has made me laugh. I think the crash sound is enough without the siren and the hospital noise though, it's a nice full stop. 6 hours!! I'd be lucky to get that done in 6 weeks!

The part that makes me laugh is "I could have a lotta women but i'm not uh like uh some other guys" The rhythm of the lyrics in this and other Dave Dudley songs was just amazing.
And thanks for all the kind words, that edgy Joy Division sort of sound is a favorite of mine, but I always felt like that era of rock was missing a lot of punch. Taking other people's ideas and combining them is really how I make music for the most part. I don't think theres anything in this that would be quite so odd if I used it in a different context, but playing go-go guitar licks in a surf tone to a country song mixed like bauhaus becomes kind of odd.
I forgot how much I enjoyed getting feedback on my music, I gotta do this more often.

OMG so funny. The beginning is so plodding, and that phaser resonance is sooo funny.
My only critique is I think when the tempo ramps up, you don't neec to isolate the drums for 4 bars before adding the guitar. The tom roll introduces the dynamic change just fine, I think introducing a new beat plus the new guitar at the same time would be totally logical. Plus, the small drum machine beat on its own is kinda weak, so the tom roll, which is saying to me "HANG ON, WERE GOING FOR A RIDE!" there's a bit of a letdown for 4 those next 4 bars where stuff speads up, but loses power compared to the previous section.
And the ending: awesome. It's a very very "Cramps" moment!

I agree ml, I kind of felt the same way today about it. During the process, I had to insert those bars as a spacer, because changing the tempo meant that my 8 bar long vocal tracks slid up to become 16 bars and kept playing back while I tried to work on the faster part- a pretty lazy move really.

PSP Nitro has an amazing ability to make super flanged and phased things still carry a tune. It's a GREAT plug for guitar and vocals if you've never tried it. It's all over this, often times on a preset.
