Drive Away Drive Away
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.
give it away live rehersal give it away live rehersal
I recorded this rehearsal of Give it Away just for the fun of it. Norberts amp was not mic'd Casey Waters on bass and singing back up. We also had Parker Turpin guesting playing upright bass.
Love Can Be A Stranger Too Love Can Be A Stranger Too
just me and the flattop recorded to the pc circa 1997
Love A Little Longer Love A Little Longer
The Pre-production mix of the album version of this song. That means perhaps some backing vocals and some kind of percussion may be added. A simple love song but also a "life" song. Do let us know what you think !!!
Ten Feet Off The Ground Ten Feet Off The Ground
recorded by Casey Waters and myself as a demo for the band. so far I have not thought of a band arrangement that would present the song any better than this.
Let It Show Let It Show
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'
I want to know I want to know
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
Iwant To Kow( How You Feel) Iwant To Kow( How You Feel)
Pure BEB ! ! ! No Other sound like it ! ! ! Billl is playing in open E for this tune, while everyone else in in standard tuning. SWEET ! ! ! ! A new kind of southern rock.
When Thats All Youve Got When Thats All Youve Got
A song that can only belong to BEB, it has that Bill Ely sound through and through ! ! ! Sinister, and dark, yet acoustic...How does he do that ???
Brittle Dreams Brittle Dreams
The Go Between The Go Between
Such a unique sound. It's rock music, but if there is more to rock music then this song is a good example of it. It has the signature Bill Ely "twangy" guitar sound, a sound that has been in most everything he's ever done. Title track of the cd.
Too Late 4 Love rare acoustic demo Too Late 4 Love rare acoustic demo
An awesome acoustic demo of Too Late 4 Love. Recorded a year or so before we recorded the album version. A cool note: check out the acoustic feedback around 25 seconds into the song!! I love all the vocals !
Default Loser Default Loser
There are BEB fans who like what they call our "darker" songs. To me it's not dark as much as it is stark, haunting maybe.
Jumping In Jumping In
recorded by Clarence Creekwater on bass and myself. Recorded in the wee hours of the morning during an all night session. don't remember where everyone was, Mr C was so drunk he couldn't stand up. I was quite "inspired".
I'll Keep Loving You(very good acoustic version) I'll Keep Loving You(very good acoustic version)
The actual acoustic demo for the "album" version that appears on the CD "CRUSH"
I'll Keep Loving You I'll Keep Loving You
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.
this will begin remaster 2016 Mixdown 1 this will begin remaster 2016 Mixdown 1
I Need You I Need You
quick paced little happy tune recorded in 2004 and released on "The Go Between" album in 2006
Rainbow Rainbow
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!!!
