Song: Moved On
This beautiful song written by my dear friend Danny Timms was put into my hands by Danny himself. It was an important time for Danny and I treated this fact as such. Shane, please record this song I wrote and just do your Shane thing to it and please put it on the front burner OK? This request by my friend and master musician I did take very seriously and proceeded to work on this piece right after Danny shut the front door of my humble studio behind him as he left.
I made some calls to local musicians I respected and whom I knew could handle the ideas I immediately had in mind. I figured that Bass, Piano, Strings, Harmonica and Vocals would be a great format to get the message across. No guitar on this one because in my minds eye, I thought the message would get muddied up. As it turned out, I felt the piece came out right, being that important vocal delivery of a real life story of love is at the very for front.
Most importantly to me though, is when Danny came by the studio

Song: A Dangerous Way
This song was such a great time doing. i recall writing as the tape rolled along and all of a sudden I was kinda matching the tempos with the lyrical bends and twists in their definitions as I was laying it down on tape. I added an electric guitar and a piano to decorate the feel as the moods shift.
All in all the track was simply a riot to do and for years to come I know that I will dig it just a much at every listen. Now playing along to it today, well thats a jam sure to keep your rhythm chops in shape, especially simultaneously done with the vocal.
