Primarily a rhythm guitar player. Been home recording since 1983. Never persued joining a band, but was fortunate to join one in '08. We've since gone our separ
Raw material is more of a project than it is a band. It consists of friends who show up to the Wretch Recording Laboratory and jam. We lay down some tracks and if we like the results we lay down more tracks until it sounds halfway decent. Lots of times, Raw Material is just myself recording one track at a time. My major interest would be to get a project together to play the "backyard barbecue" circuit. Classic rock, blues, maybe some original songs. Show up at 11:00 A.M. to set up, play from 1:00-4 or 5:00 P.M., have a beer and a burger, pack up and be home by 7:00. Interested? Let me know!

Story behind the song
Hadn't done any home recording since the days of sitting in my squeaky chair with a 4-track cassette deck. The 4-track's no longer practical... or operational for that matter... but the chair still is and so's my digital recorder.
Lyrics
There’s a clock on my wall Takin’ all my time. ‘nother hair skips out Ain’t no longer mine.. Gonna while away my cares. Close my door and go nowhere. Pluck my strings while I sit there, Leanin’ back in my squeaky chair. See, me and my boys We get together sometimes. Play with all o’ my toys Yeah, we have a good time. When the dinner bell ring We hurry up them stairs. Mamma cookin’ up somethin’ Grow my boys’ chest hairs. And I lean back in my squeaky chair Gonna while away my cares Pluck my strings while I sit there Leanin’ back in my squeaky chair. Don’t go messin’ with me and mine. Don’t go wastin’ all my time. Don’t tell me that it ain’t fair While I sit back in my squeaky chair. I got blisters on my toes. ‘nother hair now there it goes Sun and moon they just don’t care While I’m sittin’ in my chair. That clock on my wall Tick away my time. ‘nother hair skip out Ain’t no longer mine. While away my cares Pullin’ out my hairs Tick away the time In the squeaky chair.

Brilliant stuff! I've got a squeaky floorboard in my studio that will go with your squeaky chair, lol. Love the vocal delivery and the style of the song, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Nice bluesy touch, great slide playing. The simple chord progression fits well into the folk tradition, but then again, it could be a song by the White Stripes :) I truly enjoyed this, love all the soundeffects, they add the sugar... great piece!

One of the stand-out tracks of the night for me Frankie - absolutely fantastic sound! The guitar is gritty and filthy as hell, your vocal is unreal - Seasick Steve meets James Hetfield (what?!) - and the overall groove is pure class. This is a hit, I need to keep this one.

What a sensational southern sound....I digged into this one from the begin on!! The powerful breaks, an absolute highlight of this track!! And then all those "real sounds" like the bell and that squeaky chair...what a fantastic track!! GREAT! Cheers. -Spin-
