    1967 Called Me And Wants its Rickenbacker Back

    Rough mix of a new song. A buddy who drummed for me in Germany, in the best band I’ve ever been in is going to put down some real drums on it for me, so the next mix will be more dynamic. Thanks for listening. Haha. Finally found use for my talk box.

    Thanks, GJ. There's no way to hid the Beatles' influence on this one. I knew the piano was already reminiscent of Peppery pianos, so I just gave into the sitar sound. Why not? I'm not ripping over their chords or melodies or lyrics, and I figured that at the end of the day, others write blues songs that show even more obviously the influence of BB King or Muddy. The other tunes that I've written for this project of mine are not really so Beatles-y--just wanted to go all out on this one.


    Thanks for listening. I don't have a band, and I doubt that I'll ever get to do these songs with a band, so the audience here at TFF is important to me.

    Really well done Willie - great songwriting, but the playing and production is really good! I like it.

    I've had that talk box for 3 years and haven't used it. I had a vocal bridge there that I didn't like, and just as a whim pulled out the talk box. It was fun to use. ha ha
