I Want To Vanish – Elvis Costello COVER
This is an older recording before my digital recordings period. I came across it again going through archive of old recordings, and think it may be a nice suggestion of how to cover this Elvis Costello song.
Anyway, you decide. Here’s link to live performance Elvis Costello on youtube
Used with permisson – Opalhaze
Make Me Feel Like You’re My Girl
This song idea seemed nice for a bigband recording. Now that’s easily said but not that easily done. Most keyboards and also drumparts these days are recorded – and edited – through MIDI which is great if you wanna get the music as tight as no human can ever play.
When it has to sound bit more loose MIDI is still a great recording tool but you shouldn’t be quantisizing that much. Also with a bigband sound it’s difficult to find proper brash and horns in your library of synthesizer presets – when you don’t have couple of $100s to spend on top-class sampled sounds. So it starts sounding “cheap” very quick.
Anyway, I wanted to give it a try and here’s the result. Just picture some 15-piece
bigband playing a small nightclub and it will do as a song demo – I hope…

Candy Store Is Closing
Another bigband/funky tune to follow up on Getting Tight With Loose Women. These two titles together with some others will probably end up on an online album with 12 tracks bit bluesy/jazzy/funky. Working on it…

Getting Tight With Loose Women

Nice funky and bluesy tune that could fit any blues artist – or even R&B and country performer. As a matter of fact the song started off as a sort of Hank Williams country blues tune but then developed into this BB King influenced recording. Can also be ZZ Top rock…
