Blues_4_a_rainy_day Blues_4_a_rainy_day
Just a one-off-the-cuff demo I did as an idea for a future project.
Aint Gonna Wear Myself Out Over You Aint Gonna Wear Myself Out Over You
A simple blues jam with singer KELLY CLARK lending her vocals and "Waddy" the late-great studio sheltie watchdog barking in the background of the middle section!
Flowers_In_The_Meadow Flowers_In_The_Meadow
This song marks Bill's debut on the 4 string folk banjo! It was written from Bill's original banjo riff and includes the keyboard and vocal contributions of southern synth genius, John McGill.
True Pioneers (If It Makes You Feel Better) True Pioneers (If It Makes You Feel Better)
A song I wrote after finding out about a friend's behind my back manipulations. This demo has tons of sonic problems but I wanted to get it down asap as a sort of therapy.
The Long Overdue Redemption Of Sister Simms The Long Overdue Redemption Of Sister Simms
A late 80's solo demo thrown together one night in the studio.
I_Don't_Want_To_Play I_Don't_Want_To_Play
A totally LIVE song recorded on the studio couch, in one take, with one mic placed 3 feet away to capture Bill's finger-picked nylon string and voice. Backing vocals are by a singer from a just previous session who had never heard the song before.
Unrequited Blues Unrequited Blues
A one take improv, recorded alone one night in the studio with just Bill's clean '73 Strat through a vintage Bandmaster Reverb amp. The backing keys and drums were from a kid's casio KB. A.S. bassist TIM COSTLEY added the bass later. :-)
