Description: 'Lighten The Load' is an uptempo Jazz Fusion track. I have just replaced the original file with some tweaks to the mixing. It's sounding far cleaner and dynamic now.

Utterly magnificent..,real pleasure to listen to 👍👍👍

Love the introspective piano opening, but oh my, such an energetic and well mixed main section here!

Original track, words and music by Rob Wiles.
A sparse, melancholy number about a difficult break up.
Some excellent production twiddles added from Russ Sinfield of the Chaos Cookhouse.

Recording: Elvis Presley's TBC band

This concert, recorded April 19th 1972 in Albuquerque at the Tingley coliseum, was meant, in part, to be a warm up for the upcoming four sold out dates at Madison Garden in New York. Elvis’ intention was for the band to play a bit more loose and have some fun. They were hoping to capture a more relaxed mood for the live album. In the interest of achieving that, wine was served to the band during a mid-concert intermission. Unbeknownst to most of the members of the band the wine served was spiked with LSD. Teedy Turney a roadie and guitar tech, who had previously worked for the Grateful Dead, had picked up the homemade wine from a hippie commune out in the New Mexico desert. Elvis had been interested in doing a version of I’ll Take Romance ever since seeing Eydie Gorme perform it on the Seventh Allen show in 1957. He had also appeared on the Steve Allen show as well in 1957, around the last time he had appeared in New York City. The second half of the show got understandably odder and odder and the recorded version heard here was one of two songs preformed as an encore. Elvis allegedly requested I’ll Take Romance but “overwhelmed by the moment” he, reportedly, laid down on the stage and ate brownies. Only part of the full band came out. Elvis thought this recording was worth keeping anyway even though he had the rest of the concert’s recordings erased.

Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano, organ or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.
