Shades of Grey - Amanda Marshall

[bruno]

Daughter singing - few bum notes, but this was 1 take, so shouldn't be harsh on her. Need to go back a re-recorded, probably a little fast. Great tune by a great singer, I love Amanda Marshall's early albums.

Apologies for the delay in the beginning - not edited correctly.

This is fantastic! Your daughter has a fantastic voice. I'm not familiar with the original artist, but I'll be checking out her songs after hearing this. This is simply ear candy bruno! Thanks for the listen.

Tony - thank you for your kind comments - Mazz loves the compliments :-)

Amanda Marshall is a brill singer from the early 90's - first two albums was awesome - and disappeared after her third album. She has a truly powerful voice.

This is my favourite one of her songs

Never heard of Amanda Marshall...but i can say without a doubt your daughter is EXCELLENT!!!

Love her tone and she phrases like a pro. Few will ever go anywhere in the music business anymore...but she just might if she took a mind to.

Nice work!

Just saw the Max Webster and Bob & Doug McKenzie videos you posted in the prog thread and now this. I get the feeling you have a Canadian connection.   Most people who've never lived in Canada probably don't know those artists.

Mazz's vocals are excellent and the music's quite good too. Well done both of you.

[Hook]

This is too cool, Great vocals, nice guitars,it's a real nice listen! You have a bunch of tunes that really need her voice, well done!!
Rock on!

64Guitars - Interesting observation. I was born in London with Italian parents - and have lived in England all my life. I've never really targeting Canadian music, however all my favourite music is Canadian. I find music I like, and then later find out they are Canadian - for example Amanda Marshall - listened to the first track in one of those listening pods in the shop, immediately bought the album. I grew up on Rush - I loved that band - and as teenagers that led us to all other kinds of music - how, I don't know and can't remember, these were the days before the internet. It was record shops and music mags, and word of mouth I guess. That led to Triumph and Max W. and Bob & Doug - I still have the albums in the loft. Bob and Doug still makes me laugh. I have fond memory's with all my friends, drinking beer and calling each other 'hosers' :-)

I don't know why, but Canadian music seems to really resonate with me.

Have been to America quite a few times, but never been to Canada - perhaps I was put off by 'the ten feet of snow' (aka Bob and Doug :-) ). Will go one day though. The funny thing is, I only recently realised that it was Rick Moranis - I never made the connection :-)

My all time favourite is Marc Jordan, the man can write songs. Mrs B loves Marc Jordan & Amanda Marshall - firm favourite in our household.

Holy crap this is good! The guitar work all around is well done. Great rhythm and the lead fills sound great! Your daughter's voice is awesome! Very smooth.
