Bill Ely Band
A cool little tune that is widely considered as a BEB signature song. From the "Go Between" cd. Ken Denny on Keyboards, Chuck Gore playing lead guitar, Clarence Creekwater on Bass, Al Fair on Drums and myself on vocals and acoustic guitar.
about as southern rock as I get. One of our best song and one of the locals most favorite !! A Rocking tune that is all BEB, twangy but cool, kid of a throw back to old school but stills hits the mark !!!
Soft and mooshie in the beginning, then things get harsh and heavy. HHHmmm, like relationships can. Of course it can always get worse...
Many have come to me and said they like my "Dark" songs best. I'm not so sure about the dark thing but the intention was for it to have a "haunting" quality to it, an edge some tunes just need. The music goes with the lyrics perfectly.
Always BEB unique, this tune has a bit of an edge to it and packs a punch..."Watch out it's gonna hit you in the eye"
This should be the final mix. Katy helped me write words for this song about a decade ago finally got around to recording it. This is the first song with sax by Danny Smallwood. Let us know what you think !!!!
Once Again we are Joined by Danny Smallwood on Sax. Billy Williams on Drums, Kris Sjoberg on bass, and me on guitars and vocals.
Although I originally had written the song in 1983/84 I seemed to have lost it untill a few months ago it turned up while digging through one of the many, many notebooks of songs I have stored in boxes.
A live studio take and I think we were turning out so many songs at the time I never had the time/chance to go back and finish it. not even sure where the master is.
Never heard anything like it. That's what I like about it the most. The three/two timing is a big part of that, but only the begining of 'that'
While going through another pile of disk, I happened across this unreleased, unedited mix of " I Want To Know(How You Feel) Pretty much like the album version but with several seconds of music at the end. Al Fair, Casey Waters, Norbert Radtke and me
Not a happy song, poor guy still loves her although coming clean a bit too late about his feelings, add to that how little he really understands about who/what caused his current pain.
quick paced little happy tune recorded in 2004 and released on "The Go Between" album in 2006
from the cd "The Go Between" this song has been in our live set about as long as any song thats been in our set, folks just keep on asking for it!!!
I used to be funny about posting or releasing songs that were not my best of the best, but this is too fun and sick to not share!!
This song appears on the "Retro spec" Album. The recording was done live on one sm58 mic in my living room. Chad Smith, Brad Talley and me 1998.
an acoustic electric demo with Casey Waters and Norbert Radtke
One of My favorite songs from our first cd. So far the only song Ive ever played harmonica on.
