My Art Is

There is an obvious link to Muddy Waters in this track - no prizes.

Up to the mega guitar solo/power trio section this song is completely arranged...after that it is a series of extemporised sections supported on the basic rhythm of the bass and drums. The  harmonica chord/quasi-timbales section was only performed that way on that occasion - I just fancied it that way. Careful listeners will be able to hear me shout 'Hold On' i.e. 'keep going' as it starts. Graeme plays a fantastic latin-style section on this.

MFUS track - 7 piece hiphop/blues fusion band...that slightly underplays the many influences that crept in over time - Miles circa 1970 / the many psychedelic + progressive rock bands I saw during the 70's / Fela Kuti / John Mayall (because he hasn't always been great, but he's extended the envelope on several very important occasions) / James Brown...we always liked funky / too many to mention.

Recorded at Newcastle's Live Theatre by Sparks. DJ:Jason Toner - MC: Gary Browning - Vox/Percussion: Dr Freez - Gtrs: Bruce Campbell - Bass: Paul J White - Drums: Graeme Hare - Harmonicas/Percussion: Martin Fletcher

Thanks to Les Young for his early part in the band(and the Suspects before that), his singing and great songwriting.
