Every Day Of The Week. Every Day Of The Week.
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!!
Waiting For Desire Waiting For Desire
acoustic demo I had written in 1995 and recorded direct to pc.
You Still Say (we were Pretending) You Still Say (we were Pretending)
Acoustic electric tune from the "Retrospec" cd or our second release of BEB. The acoustic is very acoustic and the electric is VERY electric!!
Shakin By The River Shakin By The River
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.
Stay Down Stay Down
An acoustic demo recorded at Cherry Ave. Studio in 1998. Written with our first cd in mind, it didn't make it that far. It was added to the Retro Spec cd. It would have been too complicated of an arrangement for what we were doing for that CD.
The Here and Now Of It. The Here and Now Of It.
BEB blues pure and simple. This is a tune where Norbert and I each recorded three guitar parts each.
About Last Night About Last Night
an acoustic electric demo with Casey Waters and Norbert Radtke
Three Rivers 814400 Three Rivers 814400
the flattop and me as a demo for the first BEB cd. My producer at the time pushed us to not use it, mainly because I could not afford to give it the time and arrangement I thought it deserved.
Roadside Vangough Roadside Vangough
recorded in Greensboro NC. as a demo for the BEB project, it was not voted to be on the first cd. I think it is a wonderful song. Travis Comer played lead on the flattop, he was not even 20 yrs old at the time.
Something About You remix July 2012 Something About You remix July 2012
One of My favorite songs from our first cd. So far the only song Ive ever played harmonica on.
What Can I Do For You What Can I Do For You
From our very first BEB release. The cd "Never Let Go !!!" strikes the earth June of 2000, makes more ripples in Europe than at home. More of a folk rock sound than a rock and roll band.
One Heart One Heart
From our very first BEB release "Never Let Go" Bill shot out of the gate with songs that would push the boundries of genre, each song different the the last each tune a work of art in its self
Bridges Are Burning Bridges Are Burning
People that know Bill have been calling this music "Mountain Rock" for thirty years, it's a special blend of west coast sounds and southern influences. An actuall diferent sounding brand of rock music!!!
Never Let Go !!! Never Let Go !!!
Title song from our first BEB release "Never Let Go"
Should We Give Love A Try Should We Give Love A Try
recorded by Chad Smith on bass and myself as a demo for the first BEB cd.
I need You Now I need You Now
acoustic demo in drop D. Maybe I'll record it again and see what it sounds like all grown up and in a band.
