Are You Done? - AndyR Original

[AndyR]

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.

I'd actually settled down to finally record a piano song I wrote last year... but that'll have to wait because the new Les Paul had different ideas...

I used her exclusively on the last one, Dancing Girl, but I hadn't really let her play like she wanted to. I was just warming up the machines and wondering how to do a click for this piano ballad, and then Lucy the Les Paul decided to let rip...

It was obviously a Gibbons/Hill/Beard sort of thing, so I laid out some shuffling type rhythms, dug out the innuendo dictionary and went where she led...

Guitar parts are all going through my Yamaha THR10C, using the headphone out straight into the stereo line-ins and then recorded mono. Jazz bass is going through the POD XT Live impersonating some huge Ampeg beast - actually, I haven't touched the knobs for quite some time, I just turn it on and this bass sound comes out of it...

Are You Done?

Words & Music AndyR
Recorded on a BR1600
--------------------------------

Well I'm all dressed up and polished
We got the moon that shines so bright
When I asked if you should care to come
You said, honey, I just might
So I'm waiting here
In my fighting gear

Are you done?
Honey don't be long
No, not too long
Until you're really done

So I wandered down to your harbour
To get a feel of the fishing-net
Put your money where my mouth is
I ain't known it to fail us yet
So I'm waiting here
Is you ready dear?

Are you done?
Honey don't be long
No, not too long
Until you're really done

Well girl you got some moves on you
Honey, you got skills
But you take so long to get it on
Your make-up and all the frills
So I'm waiting here
Got my wheels in gear

Are you done?
Honey don't be long
No, not too long
Until you're really done

Awesome blusey rock n roll. Those licks sound fantastic. Lucy clearly doing what she does and taking her time about it.

Fabulous fab-u-lus!

[Farrell Jackson]

WOW Andy you have really channel the ZZ Top sound...especially Gibbons and Hill! The Lucy LP combined with the THR10C amp and of course your playing sounds fantastic. I like this kind of rockin' blues stuff...nice work!
