Song: Hard Times
Written by – John King (2023) 

Get ready to experience the thrilling conclusion to my furious recording project! Throughout this journey, I've lived and breathed the captivating world of Dr Feelgood. Their music has been my inspiration, igniting my passion and fueling my creativity. I've explored their incredible discography, dissecting their songs, got under the skin of my heroes and their influencers. I've relived the events that defined them and reignited the fire in me that first sparked when I got to know their music in the early 80s. It's been wonderful! If I've achieved just a fraction of their raw energy and infectious rhythms in my recordings then I'll be a happy man. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey of love.

But now, if you read between the lines, something unexpected and exciting just happened that will be taking up my time! For the climax of this project, a spark of inspiration has lead me to create something new. In this grand finale, I proudly present to you a special tune — a re-imagined version of Dr Feelgood's cover of James Cotton's rendition of Little Walters' timeless classic: 'Everything is gonna be alright.'

Prepare yourself for a rockier twist, a wonderful tune reworked with a double-shot of power and intensity. Alongside this musical transformation, I've crafted entirely new lyrics that feel pretty relevant to me today. It's an amalgamation of homage and a little bit of me.

This, my dear friends, is the culmination of it all — the culmination of countless hours of dedication, love, and respect for Dr Feelgood's legacy. It symbolises the true essence of what this project has been about — an homage to the timeless music that inspires us, the unyielding spirit of rock and roll, and the unending pursuit of creative expression. Enjoy!

If you are interested in hearing more songs from this project, please check out my playlist “Inspired by Dr Feelgood” where I present my take of some of the music created by Dr Feelgood. I even lay down some of my own compositions to mix it up a bit. My focus is predominantly on those very early formative years of the band and trying to capture some of the passion and raw energy of the music that they were creating at that time. Have I got the chops to capture the magic of a Dr Feelgood live performance? Have a listen and you be the judge!

If you’re interested in hearing more of the music that originally inspired and influenced Dr Feelgood, listen to the following Artists: The Rolling Stones (the band that first turned Wilko and Lee onto the Blues); Bo Diddley (whose signature rhythm guitar inspired Wilko’s distinctive “choppy” style); Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker (whose music inspired Wilko’s songwriting); Howlin’ Wolf (the artist who inspired Lee with his stage presence and growling vocal style); Chuck Berry (the artist whose “duckwalk” inspired Wilko’s very own “springwalk”); Little Walter, James Cotton and Sonny Boy Williamson I (whose cross-harp playing styles inspired Lee’s spine-tingling delivery); Johnny Kidd & The Pirates (whose fast and furious live 3-piece energy and all-in-one rhythm and lead guitar presence inspired Wilko).

Dr Feelgood were labelled as being leaders in what is often referred to as “Pub Rock”, a phenomenon than revolved around a tight-knit set of bands playing a regular circuit of venues in and around London in the 1970s. It’s a term that’s always felt a bit derogatory to me, but today you’ll hear it used to refer to the style of music that started to emerge from this scene. If you’re interested in hearing more British “Pub Rock” from notable contemporaries of Dr Feelgood, check out some fantastic music from the following artists: Graham Parker & The Rumour; Nicke Lowe; Nine Below Zero; The 101ers; Lew Lewis; Chris Spedding; The Inmates; Steamhammer; Kilburn & The High Roads; Ducks Deluxe; Eddie & The Hot Rods; The Count Bishops; The Kursaal Flyers.

Hard Times

Chillout dance vibe on this one, I just love all the synths, arpeggiators and loops that Logic has on offer! Thank you for taking your time to listen as always!

Our Hiding Place

„Dünengeflüster“ (02.08.2023 )

Der Klang der Wüste. Die flüsternde Stille der Natur die Dir etwas zu erzählen hat.
Du bist ein Sandkorn in der unendlichen Weite der Wüste.

Der Wind verweht Dich kleines Sandkorn. Du bist nichts, die Wüste ist alles.
Sie verschlingt Dich. Du bist kleiner als ein Insekt. Wanderst von Düne zu Düne.

Höre das zarte flüstern der Düne. Lausche achtsam dem heißen Wüstenwind „Calima“ was er Dir zu erzählen hat.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Dune Whisper" (08/02/2023 )

The sound of the desert. The whispering silence of nature that has something to tell you.
You are a grain of sand in the vastness of the desert.

The wind blows you little grain of sand. You are nothing, the desert is everything.
She devours you. You are smaller than an insect. Walk from dune to dune.

Hear the soft whisper of the dunes. Listen carefully to what the hot desert wind “Calima” has to tell you.

Thank you for your valued attention.

Dune Whisper

In the enchanting scene of a moonlit night, a young girl immerses herself in the pages of a mystical book, weaving her vivid imagination into a whimsical tale that conjures up playful, skeletal apparitions.

Set to a lighthearted triple-time signature, the piano guides the melody, lending a delightful charm to the composition. Complementing this whimsical journey, the glockenspiel and synthesizer mallet harmoniously dance together, evoking the amusing and endearing image of comical skeletons.
