This is my band's cover of "Got My Mojo Workin' " by Muddy Waters recorded in 2003 or 2004. It's amateurish, but I love the raw energy.
I dig it!
What are you playing on that?
Guitar, piano and vocals. I'm the guy at the far left in the picture, the next to me played bass (depending on the song, we'd switch bass and guitar duties), and the drummer is the guy at the far right. He had a mic that's way above the mix yelling out the, "Got my mojo workin'". We did everything except the piano in one live take; I turned up the guitar for the solo. Truth be told, we played it in E and sped everything up to an F# and I was going to lay down another track of vocals (The F# still being well within my range), but got lazy, never did and left it as is. A couple days later, I put down a piano track, the highlight and intent being the big glissandos in the middle.
I sat in with a band last night in front of a pretty decent sized crowd of people. First time I've played in public in over 10 years. Did a blues jam and "One way Out" by the Allman Brothers.
I've got the bug again. I really need to find some decent musicians to play with.
This is my current project. It's me and my collaborator. I wrote half the songs and he the other half. I play/sing the first one.
We go by The Interstates.
It's a roots sound with country influence. My family's from the hinterlands.
Yeah I feel the exact same way about the mix. My buddy did it. Screw him. Lol. He's so content to be amateur it's hard to work with him...I really like that.
If I was to offer one small criticism, I think the harmonica is mixed a bit loud before the harmony vocals kick in the first time and, in a couple of other places, makes it harder to hear your voice in those bits.
But, lovely tune, good lyrics, thanks for sharing.
Some damn talented people on here, eh?
No problem at all, I like hearing things that Sherbros have recorded. Hope you can get a new one finished up and recorded too, best of luck to ya.
Post it when you have!
Not sure how I feel about this one, it's my first attempt at a song with 3/4 timing. Seems a little all over the place, but maybe it will grow on me. Plus I think I skipped a word somewhere haha. Going to try and find someone to help me make some better recordings soon.
Also, anybody with a SoundCloud account feel free to add me, I'll return the favor.
New video up , I love the challenge of weekly music recording.
I've recently lost half my hearing, with tinnitus.
But I'm still considering spending a few grand on a Parker Adrian Belew model.
Woke up with it on December 24.How did you manage that?
