Title: 'Voodoo Sneakers' - Greeny Original
Post by: Greeny on March 15, 2011, 08:52:02 AM
Note sure what genre this is... swampy cajun country blues? lol

Just me, a twanging Danelectro, and a bass: all recorded on the MBR. I was very influenced by the theme tune to 'True blood' when I put this together, and I've deliberately left it a bit crude and rough around it's reverbed edges.

Cheers  :)

Very cool groove. A bit of the shuffle. I like the rough edges. Reminds me a bit of The Bees - a very underrated band from The Isle of Wight.

Just thinking the word cool as I was listening too.  Nice playing, not at all rough, had the right attitude.


Cheers

Bloody hell Tim. It's a stormer!

I don't know how you do it, take a genre, twist it, stamp Greeny all over it, wrap it up and send it on it's merry lyrical way.

Grown up music. In a disolute and wild sort of way.

You should tour the states. There's a bar I know.....

True Blood has a kick ass theme song.

This is definitely right up there greeny.
So much going on and it's sweeeet, in a hauntingly grimmy, bluesy sort of way.
Brother you have a mean way about you.
All I can do is just sit back and shake my head.
U R so creative, on top of your playing talents.
What a winning combo.

Pretty awesome Tim.

Flows smooth no rough edges detected!

 Like the little end slide too!

Almost missed this one......glad I didn't!  Great job......nice bluesy feel and great vox and guitar.  I am continually amazed by the talent of yours and so many others here.   My Ipod is running out of space!

Different, but still Greeny!! Can green men play the blues? I reckon!! Love the vocals, it almost doesn't sound like you...

Woof!

I didn't think you had stuff like this in you... mind you, from what I post, people probably don't realise I'm have it in me too ::)

I keep meaning to do something in this direction, but it is SO hard to do it convincingly as a "one-man-band-and-recording-thingy" set up...

You've pulled it off perfectly sir! Hats off to Greeny ;D

I like the "True Blood" theme song comparison made by Nelson. I absolutely love that theme song, and this is just as awesome. As a matter of fact, it's more awesome because somebody I know created it.

You know Jace Everett?! I'm seriously getting into his music. It's country, but with a cool twist. His songs cover a lot of ground. Would be thrilled if you knew the guy!

mmm very cool Mr Green, a great swampy rocker you've got here - with a very Greeny twist

I Wish I knew Jace Everett. I was referring knowing you, not him!

If you like his work, then I'd be willing to bet that you'd like Tito and Tarantula. There's something about a driving beat and tremolo that rocks my nuts. I've been meaning to cover this song:

By far the best scene in 'From Dusk Till Dawn' (and I liked the film).

I really like the vox on this one, Tim! Hell, yeah! And you made the music nice and dirty the way I like it - Some really cool bass work here.

A-1 all the way - I love it!

I just love those riffing guitars Tim, and the sound of that Danelectro is just swampy sharp! I like the rawness of it, it's very immediate and hauls you right in from the off. Your guitar parts are really clever here - you are very accomplished in the way you get them to play off against each other.

A bit different and a bit wonderful. Really enjoyed this - and yes, this should've been in Dusk til Dawn!

Cheers,

Nigel

Pretty damn fine song, and the guitar work in this is stunning, I can hear so much going on here and the layering of these is fantastic.
