Sleepwalk (Santo & Johnny cover)

[Johnny Robbo]

Right, chaps... new PC up & running, and I've just finished the first tune on it. When I saw that this month was all about the 50s rock n roll, I googled a list of classic instrumentals in this genre. There's quite a few to choose from, but this was my first choice.

All the guitar parts are my tele, bass is the old ebay special & the drums & organ were done in Cakewalk (SI Drums & ORGANised VST). As ever, the Vox Tonelab is the source of all the guitar tones (and it's my audio interface these days). Everything recorded dry then reverb, compression & delay added in the mixdown.

Thanks for listening, chaps!

That sounds great, wonderful take on a wonderful song. Love the slide, sounds a lot like George Harrison crisp slide tone.

[Farrell Jackson]

Very well done Johnny! It's one of my favorite cruising songs of the 50's.
