Cry Me A River - Julie London cover with Ella and Speed Demon

[Speed Demon]

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this tune. Ella has such a sweet voice.

Brings back a lot of memories for me. Hopefully it will do the same for you.

Wow! This is fantastic. I love the jazzy guitar and bass, and the vocals are outstanding!

Which guitar did you use? And how did you do the bass? Is it a real acoustic/upright bass or midi, for example?

[thetworegs]

Beautiful vocal + Beautiful Playing = Fantastic collab ....an excellent job on this classic Bravo!! To both of you....

[Redler]

Brilliant performance by both of you! I'd like to know, too how you did the bass line. It  sounds a real upright bass! Top class production as well! >piepod bound...

[Hilary]

Fantastic .
What a great jazzy vibe.
Ella,s voice is perfect for this and that guitar is mega good.
Great stuff.

[Speed Demon]

Thank you very much, lady and gentlemen.

I've been sitting on this song for quite a while. Just waiting for Ella to grace it with her amazing voice.

I can die happy now. On this site I have listened to, and enjoy the great pleasure of performing with the greatest musicians on earth. Maybe even the galaxy.

Well done, Ella!

[Speed Demon]

Regarding the guitar and bass tracks, the guitar used is a Phantom. Made in South Korea in 1990.
Strat style body with mods I made to it myself. Powerful Dimarzio pickups and my own custom-wired tone circuitry.


I had the good fortune to have a musician friend loan me one of his upright basses for use on this song.
I chose a Christopher 3/4 size upright. A real beauty and a pleasure to play.
As acoustic basses do not sustain notes well, I didn't need to use a gate on the track. Much more natural sound.
I'd almost forgotten how much fun it is to play an upright. All the moves come right back.

[Ella]

Thank You Gene!  I have always loved that song and I'm so happy you asked me to sing it. You made great job with my voice too. I think this sounds somehow like music in old movie. I like it.
Your guitar-playing is so beautiful and the bass! Are You gonna tell us, is it the real one?
