Well this is it the first track for this new blog/podcast or whatever it is, maybe I could call it a blogcast. Too much? Anyway, this is a track most of you who know me will already know pretty well. It's called "Truth" and it's quite an old tune. I first wrote it years back when I was in music college in Liverpool, almost 10 years now... damn is it that long? Hard to believe. It's got a kind of swing feel to it and I think it's probably influenced a lot by Van Morrison who was a big hero of mine at the time. He still is to some degree but it was a big phase I was into then. This version was actually recorded in France a little under 2 years ago now while I was staying there. I set up a kind of temporary studio in the basement of our house and this old tune just somehow came out again. This is the best version I've done I would say, I wrote the bridge section at the time I recorded this and I think overall it came out well. I had some fun messing about with the lead guitar but tried not to go overboard. The bass is possibly a little loud in this mix so if you've got any kind of bass boost on your stereo you probably wanna turn that off before listening. I love the bass and it's probably my main instrument now, the one I'm best at I think anyway, so you can always tell one of my mixes if the bass is drowning out everything else hehe :) Hope you like it, I thought it was a good place to start this little musical journey so please feel free to let me know what you think in the comments, unless you're a spammer I HAVE PLENTY OF VIAGRA ALREADY THANK YOU!!! ... ERR... NOT THAT I NEED IT OBVIOUSLY... move along nothing to see here. Take care all and have a good New Year. I hope to post at least one new track every week, the back catalog will keep me going a while and hopefully it will spur me on to finish recording all these new songs I have. We'll see Catch you later, Dan
