A really nice take on this song, I like the slower tempo which is kinda appropriate in the circumstances. Great job, Steve, thanks!

Great chilled transformation from the original. Nice raw effect coming in

Petrol Blue

I was really sad to hear yesterday that Gerry Goffin - one of half of one of the greatest songwriting duos of all time - had died. With Carole King, he wrote a dizzying number of astonishing pop songs, from the broken tragedy of 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow' to the awesome 'You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman, and this - the pure delighted whimsy of I'm Into Something Good. Which, obviously, I've given a bit of a pathos-laden twist to. 

This is one take from earlier today, played while thinking about Gerry and his legacy. RIP. 

"Something Good" For Gerry Goffin

An ambient improvisation on solo fretless bass (5-string), using three Source Audio Soundblox2 pedals: Manta bass filter, Multiwave bass distortion, and Dimension reverb. Lightly edited in Reaper.

Orion

A short improvisation on a Sigma (5-string EADGC fretted) acoustic bass, plus various effects. I was experimenting with adding a loop while editing in Reaper (by taking a short section of the solo and looping it).

Falling

A rough cut from the New Standard project with Steve Lawson

The New Standard

Don't Want to Know

All this Time is from the compelling new album by veteran songwriter Lobelia Lawson takes a fresh look at heartbreak; exploring themes of hope, renewal and confidence. Love Or Something Like It, produced by Juno award winning producer Rob Szabo, is modern, fragile and at times intense, with the witty tongue-in-cheek songwriting that Lobelia is known for. Releasing on Valentines Day as an album for the romantically disenfranchised.
