DAY
3 – March 28
RECORDING THE
NEW CD
Listened to
yesterdays songs
and all is good.
I tried out a
couple of more
amplifiers. We
tried a Diago
Tone King which
is made by James
Kitchen who also
made my pedal
board. Then we
tried a Marshall
reissue Blues
Breaker lent to
me by Joel
Richardson at
Marsahall. They
both sound great
and will be used
as we go along.
The next song is
another one of
Mick and Phil’s
so it is heads
down and off we
go. This way of
recording is
really fun to do
and I really
think the vibe
is all over the
tracks.

We generally try
playing the song
as it is
rehearsed and
then we get a
feel of how we
can better the
song adding or
subtracting
parts until we
are all happy.
Then we start
laying down the
track for real.
This one took 3
takes and we
took the first
take as it had
the best overall
feel. It is very
powerful and we
are all pleased
with how it is
sounding. We
will probably
start rehearsing
another one up
this afternoon (
one of Trevors )
and then have a
little dinner
and then start
to record it.
While we are
hard at work
Christos has
been repairing
and setting up
guitars ready to
be played. He
even repaired
one of
Mike Paxman’s
guitars which
was made by
Roger Griffin
especially for
him and he is
delighted. Well
Trevor’s track
sounds great and
the energy going
down is
fantastic. Mike
Paxman is doing
a tremendous job
and he even
stands with us
in the studio
amongst all of
the noise and
joins in with
the vibe and
directing us.
This is a first
as most
producers do not
leave their
chair in the
control room,
but we all love
Mike’s hands on
approach. The
results thus far
are keeping us
on a high and it
is time for a
couple of
relaxing beers
and a couple of
glasses of wine.
We can’t wait to
start tomorrow! |
