Cold Blues

[Douglas Kirby]

Hi Everybody,

I was going to stop at ten volumes for the Westerly Sessions, but I decided to keep going.  This is a track off of "The Westerly Sessions Volume XI".  On this one, I played my Yamaha AC3M acoustic - and on lead guitar my Gibson SG.  Out of all my electrics, the SG ranks #2 behind my Fender Strat. The SG has a bit of nastiness to it, which I guess is why Angus Young liked it so much - lol.

As always, any comments and critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening.

Here it is:

Another one very well done Douglas . . . got a great chorus going in this one. Always a top notch recording with you . . . edgy guitars that really work, and the drum recording / mixing is spot on . . . somehow you get those crash cymbals sounding very natural and balanced.

Enjoyed this very much.  That SG does sound nasty (in a good way, of course).

Nice blues, especially that SG. Personal taste: A bit too much reverb on both the vocal and the drums. Not a deal breaker though.

Thanks for the kind comments - much appreciated. Regarding the crashes - I have to give credit to AD2 for that - lol.

Thanks Ed.  I have REmatrix on the main bus on this one - perhaps it's a bit too wet.
