Are You Ready – Kenny Mac & Johnny Robbo cover Thin Lizzy

[Johnny Robbo]

This is a track that Kenny suggested & I jumped at it. Thin Lizzy's Live & Dangerous was one of the cassettes I had in my student bedsit back in the '80s and I played it to death on my old Binatone ghetto blaster, so working on this brought back some great memories.

I put the backer together in Cakewalk & played my tele on this as it's better for that Eb tuning – more stable than the Les Paul when tuned down. I then sent it to Kenny & he added his guitar parts using a Les Paul & a Michael Kelly guitar for the solo, and did the final mix. Speaking of solos, Kenny takes the 1st one & it's me doing the 2nd one at the end. Kenny's guitar is in the right hand channel & I'm in the left.

Thanks for listening
