I Got No Convictions

This track was recorded in a single take live with no prior arrangements so it's kind of a free jam. We recorded it Thursday evening with the primary software being bourbon whiskey and some additional beer plug-ins. Additional vocals and effects were added on Saturday and the sampled female vocals added today (Sunday). No editing, so this is real time at about 7 minutes and can drag on if you're not in the right frame of mind.
The title and the lyrics refer to the delusions and paranoia within the Trump administration as the Mueller investigation closes in. The cry of No Convictions having several meanings but mainly reflecting back at Trump as a man of no true convictions. This is the 4th installment in "Fire & Fury - A New Wave Opera of the Trump Years" musical arrangements. Hope you enjoy it!
