"Out All Night"

[Frank53]

Well, I might as well start with something simple. Not that anything I do is complicated. This is a little R&R song called "Out All Night", that I put together a couple months ago. All mixing and mastering was done on the '900, with the exception of a dB or so boost in Audacity. I was going for a Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds kind of sound. Since few people (including me) remember them today, it probably doesn't matter. LOL!

That is really great Frank.  Really tight, great sound all round.  Welcome to the forum, lets have some more of your great songs.

Heard this one on indiemusicworks.com (you should check out his music there BB).
Really catchy tune well played and with lovely harmonies .. just gotta love it !!!

Wow! This makes me think of the 1980!

Even though i was not alive at that point

Great job! Nice tension!

Total freakout, man!! I feel the influences, but don't know where they come from. There are some Frank Black (Formerly of Pixies/Black Frances) tunes that remind me of this - very impressed and would love to hear more.

See you around,

Great job Frank!! First thing i hear is.....ALOT OF WORK! This song did not come together in a day or two i bet...you did some serious engineering here. The story is good..your vox are very well done...reminded me of John Mooney a bit. The back up vox are just outta this world..fantastic job there. Neat lead and really nice drums. Overall tight and well performed. What else is there? Good song!

i remember nick lowe and dave edmunds, mr lowe is still turning out great songs, this is like wow, the organ sound is so nick lowe, and like early elvis costello who nick produced.

i think it was launched that said it reminded him of frank black ( possibly my fave singer/songwriter) but i think francis musta listened to some nick in his time.

bloody geat song love it

Cool tune FranK!  Great solo and way-cool keyboards! 

Cool singing and backup vocals and harmonizing!

Frank!  I just read your introduction and found this post.  I too am a long-time drummer-turned-multi-instrumentalist -- good to have you here!  Wow, is this ever a feel-good romp!  Very early-80s, very Elvis Costello (esp. the organ), as ORH said.  Not sure if I hear the Frank Black influence, but either way this is top-notch good-time rock & roll!

One thing that's a little odd to me -- aren't these programmed drums?  If so, FANTASTIC job programming them, but why not just play them yourself?  Perhaps they are electronic drums, played live by you.  That would explain the sound.  Good work on the drums, either way!

Nice work!

Thanks everyone, for the kind words. I was in a musical drought a few month ago, and decided to come up with a simple R&R tune to try to stimulate the muse, and this was the result. But I think the muse is back on vacation again. LOL!

Bosko, yes. I always play my own drums. I have a set of Roland V-drums, so I don't drive the neighbors (and my wife) crazy.
