I Kissed A Girl Just Like You

I wrote a Christmas Song!

A Case of You is arguably one of the greatest breakup songs ever
Joni is eloquent and poetic ode to long-time lover Graham Nash
It is a tale of star-crossed lovers, great Love, found and lost
Originally on the Blue album
There are over 300 known cover versions of it, by 300 artists (now 301) including Prince
All found something they could make their own

A Case Of You by Joni Mitchell Ft. Sam B.

Have a John Lennon Christmas!

Is River by Joni Mitchell the best Christmas song ever?
It was off the 1973 'Blue' Album and amazingly was never released as a single.
Nor was it a Christmas song, it was a sad love song about her breakup with Graham Nash.
It just got so much airplay it grew into a classic that gets played very holiday season.

This is a modern rework of that track. I've done my usual smooth jazz guitar thing on it but have rediscovered my dance roots. I think I've breathed new life into this beat - what do you think?

Nile Rodgers has played on over 2 Billion dollars worth of music! Yet, has he played one screaming guitar solo? Nope!
Rhythm guitar is a huge part of my 'game' too. Forget those solos, 90% of the time a guitarist is a team player, holding the track together rhythmically as an essential part of the rhythm section and also providing chords for the melody to sit on.
Nile's rhythm guitar sound has stood the test of time. Over the decades he's played written and produced for Chic, Diana Ross, Bowie, Madonna and still is relevant today with Daft Punk!
This track is the ultimate Nile Rodgers chop. But don't forget the killer bass line by Bernard Edwards. BTW the guitar part was written first!
I've updated the beat to something more modern, put on my flares, and gotten down!

I've had this track on the back burner for years. It's such a brilliant track and I wanted to do it justice so it has gone through a number of versions to reach this point.
I knew I wanted to throw in some jazz chords and slow it down, which is what I have done, but I had to wait until I had learned enough to formulate a decent production.
The moral of this story then is... All things come to those who wait.

ABOUT ME
I play the music I like to listen to. 
As a guitarist I like to think I have my own style.
Harmony, and the groove is what I'm chasing, hopefully with a tasteful, nuanced, and distinctive presentation. 
I don't have a genre as such. I could sort of call myself a smooth Jazz 'n' Blues guitar 'thang' but in reality every track crosses over multiple strands of R&B/Jazz/Funk/Pop. Don't be put off by my use of the "J" word. Jazz to me is anything unpredictable and I'm nothing if not contemporary. 
Rhythm playing is as much a part of my "game" as lead soloing. I love the Funk!
My main instrument is guitar. I play a 1973 Ovation Breadwinner, an Ibanez nylon stringed and a Yamaha keyboard loaded with Keyscape. Unless stated I play all the other instruments too (mostly Bass), and sequence MIDI and arrange/produce. 

MY JOURNEY
I was signed with Fresh Air records and EMI in the 1980's creating Jazz/funk dance tracks but things were just as challenging then as they are now for musicians so I got a 'proper job' for 20 years! During all that time my guitar was in the loft! I rediscovered music in 2010 and Soundcloud in 2014.


MY SOUNDCLOUD
I am grateful to Soundcloud listeners who take the time to press |>Play - and especially if you give me some feedback :-)
I hope what you hear will draw you in sufficiently to explore on my own website. Nearly all my original stuff (6 albums worth) are on www.BennySutton.com and all are downloadable.
Please don't follow me in hope of getting to get an automatic follow back. I don't do that because I only follow the smallest number of people I can keep track of. I'll have a look at your page but will only follow back if you are really of interest to me. See my follow list, you'll discover some very talented artistes, many of whom I have been lucky to Collab. Soundcloud really is the place to find the real innovators these days - not the music industry approved channels, especially MTV!
If you want to get my attention, send me a PM.
