Take the Long Way Home

This is a bit of a joke, too. I was trying to see how noisy I could get BIAB and then added brainless grungy guitar and keyboards. Supertramp minus subtlety and a singing voice. However, my fourteen year old son who hates everything I record on principle, thought it was better than usual because it didn't sound much like me. Bonus points for picking that the different mixes of the backing rack are recorded twice slightly out of sync rather than just tweaked later. I used to do this with two reel to reels in the old days - the horror.

Lord is it Mine

Well that didn't work.

I tried to do this properly. There's no BIAB here just 6 string, 12 string, bass and ukelele. Unfortunately I couldn't stay even close to in tune this time so I gave up. My wife Robyn had a go with a different arrangement for Coverville. The only thing that survived in her version was the little uke riff.
