Saturday Night

By David_A on January 12, 2014 7:48 pm

A little change of pace and something lighter for this week … I've always loved the 50s and 60s rockabilly and rock 'n' roll stuff. This is my shot at that. I wrote the song in probably 25 minutes, most of the time spent with the lyrics. Everything was played, no programming involved whatsoever. For those who are interested: Drums were recorded with 3 cheap mics set up to best capture the room sound, the tele was recorded with a cheap condenser and a sm58 clone, vocals also with the condenser, rest was recorded directly into the computer. I also tried to up the ante on the overall sound, playing and production quality and I'm quite happy with how that all turned out. I'll challenge myself to cover more stylistic grounds in the next weeks to explore myself more.
Hope you like it, thanks for listening!

I love this. Really captures the rockabilly spirit.

Nailed that 50s sound! Challenging yourself to work in specific styles sounds like a fun idea.

haha nice, this is a fun track!

Enjoyed this! Fav'd it! Well done!

Awwww shit!  Awesome.  I've been digging this kind of music lately, definitely wasn't expecting to here it here.  Great job.

Seriously, this is fantastic given the time spent and everything else...
