Blues Mix - coming
Home studio blues mix mp3 just about finished, as soon as my voice sounds better.
The BLUES MIX, the first of several (I hope), is just about done. I plan to add a portion of “80 MPH Blues” on the end, then I’ll probably go back and record all the vocals again - my voice just hasn’t been up to snuff the last couple of weeks. I’ll never claim to be a great vocalist, but I can sound better than the tracks in the mix right now.
Instead of trying to get whole songs recorded, the direction I’m heading now is to put together several songwriter mixes, each 4 to 5 minutes of song bits that go together. The recordings are pretty much “live” in the home studio, intended to showcase the variety of songwriting I do, and my performance for what it’s worth, on places like ReverbNation. First one’s the blues just ‘cause I’m enjoying playing them right now, then I’m planning a country mix, jazzy mix, pop-folk-light rock mix, humorous mix, and probably 3 or more contemporary Christian/P&W mixes. That’s a lot of recordings, but right now, it’s easier to get little bits done and strung together than getting a whole song done like I want it. Encouragement, prayer, and LISTENING as I get them posted will be greatly appreciated.
