“Empty Air” - New MP3 - Done!
2nd Garage Band recording of “Empty Air”
I got a 2nd, improved version of “Empty Air” recorded Wednesday night before a quick trip out of town for work Thursday. It’s got the piano, drums, bass, vocals, a little rhythm guitar, and just for fun a trumpet track playing a lilting counter-melody over most of the song. The trumpet may not fit into making it as country-sounding as I originally intended, but what the heck - I’ve always set the style of my songs by what I think the song needs, not by someone else’s ideas about a specific genre. Besides, I tried it with a fiddle first, and the trumpet sound just seemed to fit the soul of the song more. My voice was a little hoarse Wednesday; still mostly sounded OK, but Friday night I went back and recorded a new vocal track, and improved the rhythm guitar track. The result - I like it! I think it’s by far my best home studio recording to date.
So the “Empty Air” mp3 is now posted here on the site, on Reverb Nation, on Bandizmo, and also on Musician Forest (which seemed to have disappeared for awhile, but is back online line now) . The chord sheet’s been posted here awhile.
