Honky Tonk Blues
I finally got the song finished and here are the results. Let me know what you think.
Independent artist Midnight Ryder drops "Honky Tonk Blues", a Country and Western track on SoundClick. There is an authenticity to the performance that draws the listener in. This track holds its own in the country and western landscape — a confident, well-executed piece. "Honky Tonk Blues" has peaked at number 6 on the SoundClick Country and Western chart. Producers and creators can get a royalty-free Creative Commons license for "Honky Tonk Blues" — the standardized, legally-sound way to grant permissions.
Well, I play all the tracks myself as I have no band and don't really plan on it any time soon. I have been a musician for almost 41 years now and have loved it all. The thing that makes me feel really good, is when I do sit in with a bad or remember back when I played with different bands was to see the people dancing on the dance floor to our music. It's a great feeling.
Band/artist history
LOL ... I started the learning process of multi-track recording just about a year ago and am still learning.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
No. I had a stroke 2 1/2 years ago and can't perform live anymore although I would love to. I love playing live and to see the people swaying to the bands music. I have one special moment, at 17 I had the opertunity to play drums with back up band on the Grand 'Ol Opre' but turned it down 'cas when we all strated that band, we made an agreement that if any of us had the chance to make it to the 'Opre, it they didn't want all of us, we wouldn't go. Ya know, a one for all and all for one one. We all kept that promise.
Your musical influences
My biggest infuence was my uncle who helped me learn to play drums although he could not play them. He would be sitting around practicing and singing and I would sit close by and beat on anything that sound similar to a drum ... sofa arms, chair seats, etc. and one day he said " You know .... you're starting to get a beat and rythm". He went out and bought my first set of drums for me and thats what started it.
What equipment do you use?
I use mostly all analog equipment. Tape decks, mixers, etc. Although I do have 3 peices of "digital" gear :( I added 2 nady GEQ-131 31 channel EQ's and a Lexicon "Alex" digital special effects unit. I don't have an echo room so I bought the Alex DSP to get that one effect.
Anything else?
I love the people I have met here on SoundClick. They are all warm, tender hearted men and women. Thank you SoundClick.
