Out On The Endless Prairie (With Ranger Bill) Out On The Endless Prairie (With Ranger Bill)
A guitar instrumental based on a half remembered tune by Bill Nelson?. or maybe I have dreamed it up myself after all? Lots of nice twangy guitar. Duane, Hank, and Bill all live in this tune.
Summer In The City (medley) Summer In The City (medley)
The fabulous tune Summer In The City by The Lovin' Spoonful. I remember liking it so much when I first heard it. I was a young teenager who was just really getting into music.
Poor Moon (2018) Poor Moon (2018)
This is my own version of the fabulous song, Poor Moon, by Canned Heat from 1969.
Under The Boardwalk (Transistor Radio Mix) #2 128 Under The Boardwalk (Transistor Radio Mix) #2 128
An instrumental 're-working' of this classic pop song from the very early 1960s. Of course, I've added a few Major Snagg twists to it. Yamaha Pacifica electric 12 string guitar for all the rhythm guitar tracks and a Telecaster for the lead.
Up On The Roof Up On The Roof
This is my instrumental version of the classic early hit by The Drifters. I used my Yamaha Pacifica 612V through my Line 6 Pod for all the guitar parts. Tone-wise, a touch more 'gain' than Hank Marvin
POLICE STAKE-OUT POLICE STAKE-OUT
A bit of an excersise in various clean guitar tones. I used my Fender Squire Telecaster, Crafter bass guitar and a Zoom RT 123 drum machine. Also this was a trial at uploading a song in the new Soundclick format
Batteries Are Not Included Batteries Are Not Included
An experimental piece using a few synth loops reminiscent of German experimenters, Kraftwerk. I've added various guitar tracks. This is the kind of none-sense I get up to on a dull afternoon.
Don't Fear The Raven Don't Fear The Raven
This tune began with a descending bass line to which I gradually added layers of electric 12 string and other guitar tracks. Then the tune took on a life of its own, as is usually the case!
Heartbreak Cities Heartbreak Cities
A catchy (I hope so!) Pop/ Rock 'protest song', about the current dreadful situation in the UK in 2018...and the possibility of even worse things to come!
A Race Across The Desert A Race Across The Desert
Clickers Club Camel Challenge Feb 2018 -
Uncertain Times Uncertain Times
My intention was to write a modern Pop/Rock protest song in the style of 'The Skids'... something with a very 1980s angry kind of 'vibe'. All my lyrics were eventually discarded apart from the very last part of what was the 'chorus''.
On Broadway ... instrumental option#1 On Broadway ... instrumental option#1
This is more or less a straight ahead 'cover' of the great song by The Drifters, from the early 1960s. (1963?) I've played the melody on my Eastwood Astroluxe Cadet guitar, over a nice wobbly, tremolo rhythm guitar led backing track.
The Last Blue Lagoon The Last Blue Lagoon
A gentle stroll along the white sand of a deserted tropical beach. The inviting blue water... the relaxing musical soundtrack to this scene is partly influenced by the sounds of Hank Marvin and Duane Eddy...
Alice In Sunderland 2017 Alice In Sunderland 2017
A slightly rare...or at least, a mostly forgotten tune by The Shadows from 1967. As you may or may not know...Hank is from Newcastle...almost next door to Sunderland. He had his tongue firmly in his cheek giving the tune this title. A great tune.
Going Soft In The Loft Going Soft In The Loft
Ive always enjoyed mid-period Soft Machine and the first two albums by Alan Carrs Nucleus...the musicians moved from one band to another back in the mid seventies. This is my own take on that particular type of British Jazz Rock
The Passion The Passion
This is my take on a fabulous instrumental recorded by Bill Nelson in 1982. His current album at that point in time was, 'The Love That Whirls' (Diary of a Thinking Heart).
Shenandoah Shenandoah
This is an old traditional tune from a long way back and was influenced by the way that Bill Frisell interprets and records exsisting tunes.
Over & Under The Bridge Over & Under The Bridge
A lively guitar driven instrumental.
