Saturday Night (Rickocaster & Vanncad Collab)

[Vanncad]

Ricocaster laid down a pretty sweet blues shuffle so I threw some vox on it.

Rickocaster - Guitars, Bass and Drums
Vanncad - Lyrics, Vox, Harp

I'm not the best at working with MP3s so I hope this sounds okay.

First time playing harp for me. Used an "A" harp through the on-board mics with Guitar effect P25 (called "Rock Lead" I think). It has the right "sound", just wish I could play better.

Here's the lyrics (maybe some of you guys can relate.... )


Saturday Night

I went out on the weekend to my backwater bar
I drank so much man that I couldn't drive my car
I asked waitress "Honey what should I do?"
She said "I saw a little lady who's been looking at you
And she might take you home, if you ask her right
'Cause everybody's friendlier on Saturday night"

"Yeah she might take you home, if you ask her right
'Cause everybody's friendlier on Saturday night"

I drank some courage and I walked over there
She was a beauty with long golden hair
She looked as pretty as a fine movie star
And I was smilin' as I jumped in her car
I tell you brother, I was feelin' all right
'Cause everybody's lonelier on Saturday night

When I woke in the morning couldn't believe what I saw
My little angel had some hair on her jaw
Her eyes were crooked, and her dentures were too
And she weighed in just under 482
Thought to myself man something just isn't right
She didn't look like this before I turned out the light

I heard her yellin, as I ran for my life
"Baby everybody's prettier on Saturday night".
I heard her yellin, as I ran for my life
"Baby everybody's prettier on Saturday night".

Great job, Vann!  This is my first time to collaborate. Now I want to do it more!!

[Blooby]

Good lord, that tone is huge.  I think I said this once before, but you remind be of Billy Gibbons while he was going through his Bixonic Expandora phase.  Really great collaboration, guys.  The line about "hair on her jaw" was priceless.

You got a great blues song here, really liked the harp playing.

[Wiley]

I can't believe that was your first time on harp!!  What a great job!!   The lyrics were a riot.  Super job!

[Vanncad]

Sorry Wiley - I should clarify. This is my first time playing blues harp.

I can play "Heart of Gold" by Neil Young and the intro to the "The Wizard" by Black Sabbath. Now I have added this song to my repertoire. I have been practicing "bending" notes, but I have never played harp to a blues song before.

P.S. - The distortion effects help alot too! 

Rickocaster has some excellent guitar licks here and I didn't want to "step" all over them.
