Rollin' the Dice

This is a very different song. Out of character, even. This is a rough mix and doesn't have any backing vocals as of yet and the lead vocal is a scratch track. Everything was done here (my studio) including the drums. The story behind this tune goes something like this;

The keyboard player in my band "Harry" had this swing jazz blues piano riff. John (drummerboy) and I came up with the lyrics. This song has always been very plain and somewhat lifeless. I would've scratched it from the CD at one point. I just kept listening to it over and over again and the arrangement came to me little by little. I wrote new bass lines (Jeff hates me) the brass parts and rewrote my guitar solo. After a lot of work towards getting the song where I wanted it we redid the drums. I wanted a trashy drum sound with lots of cymbals in the mix. The vocal lines were more of a challange than anything.

Anyway, here's a sort of filler song on the up and coming CD entitled Rolling the Dice. Enjoy!
