@kenny-mitchell-28: I've seen a lot of post Moountain (original line-up) Leslie West clips on youtube, and they're often a bit disappointing

Great to hear something new from you, Allan; I have to admit, that I don't know the original, not even anything else from this band, but it sounds very classic rock like from the same times like Sabbath or Led Zep

These unisono-riffs are very typical for that era

Excellent axe-work, Allan; Its the first time I hear you singing and its functioning very well; if a mild critic is allowed I would change the velocity on the snare-fills a bit to achieve a more natural sound. For the basic groove the drums are perfect, just these fills sound a bit mechanical for my ears.

Beautifully Created and Produced. One of my Favorite Mountain Songs ever, and this is so perfectly re-created here. Great job, Allan! :D)))

Nice guitar allan for some reason achieve track cuts out after 30 secs but sounds good mate forgot to tell you when you watch the station gig on YouTube I'm in a group called outafaze 3rd band on cheers 

@carl-bridson-337322991: Cheers Carl! I dont understand why thetrack is cutting out, I'vejust played it through ok. Ah well....

GOLD

Well I don’t know but
I’ve been told that
all that glitters
is not gold

The things worth remembering
have no glitter at all
but you feel them so deeply
you need to heed their call

Giving, not taking -
it’s a bit of a blast
the feeling you get
will most definitely last

It’s simple really, this life of ours here
you do what you can and
make it better for some shining your light 
for a better future to come

I don’t know 
but I’ve been told
that all that glitters
is not gold

Gold

The first in a new series of Lee (Jack Jones) Lucas songs to hit the cloud. For those who do not know who "Jack Jones" is, it's simply a rhyming slang name that stands for "on your own" On my own is not perhaps quite so true in this song I have recently written, as I roped in Julie and got her off her bike to say a few words in the song for me.

"She's So Cold" is very much a song that lyrically contains what one might call offensive language. I myself felt it was necessary to have in for the subject matter I am trying to put across here, which is based  how some men can be lazy bums in not wanting to lift a finger in the house to help with the many chores a woman has to tackle from day to day. Any good woman would only stand it for so long before either walking out, or kicking her fella out. It's also easy to call your other half names when she nags you death to get off your butt and do something too (LOL) and call her cold, hence my title for this song.

I would like to thank Julie for giving me an helping hand, with what may seem a small contribution with her little part in this, but it was something I really felt necessary to make the song work, and with how she has expressed the words I wanted her to say. She also gave me a few more besides :))))) she really does play the part well, and I sure as hell would not want to mess with her (LOL) I see her contribution playing much more of a bigger part than it actually seems. She done the business for me here, and thanks Julie.

For those of you who have never heard Julie's own work. I seriously recommend you check her cloud out. She is one super songwriter, musician and performer who goes by the name of "WindWriter"  I highly recommend her latest track entitled "Bike" and it's not offensive either :))))))))))

She's So Cold. (Words & Music by Lee Lucas)

Lee Lucas - Vocals - Electric Guitar - Bass guitar - Harmonica - Organ - Drum Machine - Artwork & Production.
Julie Wind - Voice (of the woman who had enough)

The noisy tv Set & the slamming door were courtesy of Freesounds.org. 


My original lyrics are as follows. The rest of the words you will hear are what Julie added and how she elaborated around the words I originally wrote down for her to say in the (brackets). I even made an intro with the extras :))))))))))) and it gives it that more of a feel of a domestic incident.

Said hey there baby will yah fix us a drink 
she said fix it yourself whilst you're there clean that mess in the sink 
I said that's no way to treat the man you're supposed to love
she gave me the finger said go fuck yourself

She's cold (can you believe this smuk)
So damn cold (hey, get a life honey)
She's so cold (Oh yeah, you're not exactly hot)
So damn cold (swivel on this you slouch) (oh you asshole)

(break)

I guess I only have myself to blame (yeah too right)
crazy women driving me insane
If I made more of an effort then maybe she would see
but I guess I'm just this asshole and always will be

She's so cold (who me)
Cold

Bridge Of Sighs

My 2nd collab with my good friend Dom a.k.a. Warm Jet only this time an original song instead of a cover. Dom approached me a couple of weeks back with a piece of music he had done and asked if I would like to write some words and sing it. Well having heard the music first it really appealed to me, so I felt why not.

"Smokey Joe & His Cadillac" is the title I came up with, and I basically wrote a story about a guy who spends most of his money on materialistic things and neglects everything else around him, including himself. 

You can find more of Dom's great music here : https://soundcloud.com/warmjet-1/tracks

The song as been made available as a free digital download @ Bandcamp here: https://leelucas.bandcamp.com/track/smokey-joe-his-cadillac

Smokey Joe & His Cadillac (Words by Lee Lucas / Music by Dominique Bellaud)

Lee Lucas - Vocals - Common Geezer/Elvis Presley Artwork  & Lighter Fuel.
Warm Jet - Guitars - Bass - Drum Programming.

The lyrics are as follows:

Smokey joe drove a cadillac 
a man who lived beyond his means
he ate best when he got paid
rest of the week he lived on beans
He lived his life in a country shack
he built out of wood and weed
in the swamplands down in new orleans

Thou he never had a lot
he kept his car pristine
diamond studded hubcaps
a solid platinum steering wheel
He spent nearly every cent he got
on his sexy love machine 
dressed in rags and smelt a lot
and he never looked the scene

Smokey joe never washed a lot
yet he kept his car real clean
girls never went near him
they never knew where he had been
he never really gave a toss 
even his hair was full of fleas
he was a genuine example of a disease

(Break)

Then smokey joe met country sue
she was the girl of all his dreams
she used to bring him steak pie
and sew the holes up in his jeans
She gave him more than bread and water
and made him eat less beans
now he's the king 
now he's the king 
of new orleans
He's the king of new orleans
