A cover of the classic blues song "From a Buick 6" from the legendary album "Highway 61 Revisited" by Bob Dylan. Talks about a guy who sings about his babe that will always be with him no matter what happens but with very funny examples.

This Life Absurd

A very melancholy song by The Cars, "Drive" was written from the perspective of a guy who's watching a woman (who he presumably used to date) "going down the tubes," trying to get her to take a hard look at what's going on in her life. 
 "Drive" became The Cars' highest charting single in the United States, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; on the Adult Contemporary chart, the song went to No. 1

Guzo is the debut release of young Ethiopian pianist Samuel Yirga. Against the odds, Samuel found his way to music school in Addis Ababa and despite still being in his 20s and only having left music school relatively recently, he has developed at a pace remarkable for someone of his age. He has gone on to become one of Ethiopia's most promising young musicians and composers and in recent years, Samuel has gained wider international recognition through his touring and recording with Ethio-fusion group Dub Colossus.

"Smooth Operator" - Sade (live)

Another cover, this time the first two tracks from the 1982 Alan Parson Project album "Eye In The Sky". Alan Parsons is well-known for his career as a studio engineer in the 60s and 70s, when he worked as the engineer on albums such as "Abbey Road" and "Dark Side of The Moon". As far as I'm aware, these are probably the two best-known songs by APP (according to Wikipedia, Sirius was used by the Chicago Bulls as their entrance music during the 1990s). The biggest challenge was getting the vocal harmonies accurate, as the slightest inaccuracy is even more obvious when sung alongside other harmonies. I followed the final guitar solo from the album version for part of it, and then made up the rest (loosely based on the vocal melody).

As per usual, keyboard and bass parts were recorded on the M3, drums programmed in Toontrack, guitars recorded on the Ibanez and processed using Amplitube 3. The strings were recorded using Miroslav Philharmonik. Vocals recorded using SM57 and all produced in Cubase.

This is my cover of the 1992 single "Motorcycle Emptiness" by the Manic Street Preachers, originally released on the album "Generation Terrorists".

I really enjoyed recording this track, and managed to match the tempo of the original by regularly comparing my cover with the original in Cubase. The lead guitar parts took me a while to sort out, largely because guitar isn't my main instrument. I used my acoustic, as well as piano, synth and string sounds. I've also started having singing lessons, so with the correct warmup and breathing techniques, the vocals weren't quite as difficult to sing as they might have been.

Miroslav Philarmonik was used for the string parts, Korg M3 for bass, piano and synth sounds. Drums programmed in Toontrack EZ Drummer. Vocals recorded using SM-58 and guitars recorded on Vintage Acoustic/Ibanez.
