OK, so Frank finally gets his butt into the studio and me, I didn't even touch a guitar for 2 weeks, just so I would be fresh. And whadda ya know, first take action!! Yep- bee-utiful solo and that song is done did DONE. I looked around youtube for other versions of Ode to Billie Jo by Bobbi Gentry (1967) and none were as good as mine- sorry.
So that, coupled with the chain gang acapella thing I did first, make two. Two off the new CD that's going to be all covers. Never did that before. Never even recorded a cover in the studio- ever!
So now I got song #3, Jumpin' Jack Flash, and I decided not to cover it the funky R&B way I used to. Instead I'm rocking the mother! Drum track done, rythym guitar crisp and tight, one take (thank you jesus) and done straight through the board so no traffic noise, etc. Now I'm writing the bass line and guess what? This is way different than what I thought and it is H-O-T. Hotter than Janet Korseberg that night so many long virgin years ago! Dam, this one's gonna cook. It's got snap crackle and pop! :) I should be able to sing the sh1t out of it too, key of B, right in my wheelhouse. Stay tuned! This sh1t's egonna make Mick Jagger dance!
