In poker, you double down when you get two aces.  And that's just what we have here...two aces.  Scott Nelson and Mirko Borach.  Both superb musicians and guys who you put money on.  So fortunate to have both here on SoundCloud - Scott https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064 is from outside of Philadelphia, and is a complete master on guitar.  We had to team him up with another master on bass, Essen Germany's Mirko Borach, who is well known here on SC as Stringburner https://soundcloud.com/stringburner.  Full credit to these wonderful players as they bring our original Double Down to life with me.  Follow these guys and head back into their galleries here for so many exceptional pieces.  I've recorded over twenty with Mirko and now five with Scott.  Loved each one and hope you will too.

Thanks to all for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

Can't Stop The Beat

How cool of Zurich producer Paul Racle to be making music for everyone else.  You've gotta love the attention Paul throws into Shell Game, from his signature funk bass sound to the crisp funky drumming.  Sounded to me like it only needed a synth line -
Follow Paul's extensive collection of original recordings and collabs: https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle .   This is our ninth tune together - thanks to Paul's outpouring of original music.  We hope you love it:)https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/playing-with-paploviante

Shell Game - with Paul Racle / everything but the synth solo

It's Sunday and no time better for a little grooving...this one's a little soulful blues and the photo's from the greatest blues club of all, Chicago's Kingston Mines.  When you visit Chicago be sure to go at least one night.  Live blues on two rotating stages from 8p - 4a every night of the year.   And if you can play they often let you sit in.  People all over bringing instruments for late night action.  Named our newest dog Koko Taylor, who's photo in in the poster on the wall - the Queen of Chicago Blues.

BUTTER KNIFE HEAVEN (BOP BOP)

@Rick-4-1: Well, he played drums on this, if you can call it just that. It's something much bigger really, it's like the hairs on the back of your neck on new batteries for the first time in your life.
@phil-mcwalter: Well, just the other stuff.

Enjoy heaven.

PLAY IT LOUDER

Heaven

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I got it right first time 
When I was young and pure like heaven
But it’s never been as good
In fact it’s been as rough as wood
And it’s splintered me

I sort of forgot
How it's supposed to be hot
And when it had gone cold
And I looked at what I'd got
It was not a lot

I’ve wasted some time 
Heaven
Well most of our lives 
Heaven
It feels like a crime
Sharp as a butter knife
I’ve been spread too thin
By kith and kin

Original sin
But not so original
I should have told the Pope
That there was no hope
And what would you know 
He’d agreed with me
It’s not a great story
Not bloody or gory
You just get one shot
And I must have given mine to someone else
It should have ended my game
But I’ve passed it on
It’s a little bit lame 
Just the same
Like everything else 
Bop Bop
I’m now at a full stop
Bop Bop
It’s just a pensioner’s bus-hop away 
(Anyway)

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I think I have forgotten (How to say goodbye)
How to end it all

It’s just been a waste
Heaven
A copy and paste 
Heaven 
I haven’t been traced
Lost or misplaced
I feel debased 
And disgraced
It leaves a bitter 
Aftertaste
But I aint crying
I’ve just been sprayed with Mace…

Bop Bop

Heaven…

Butter Knife Heaven

Butter Knife Heaven (Bop Bop)

Here's a tale of love, hate, and yoga meditation.

Love Or Hate?

Words and music by Constricted Freedom
Cover art by Mar Ambroj

Welcome to planet earth
one of the best shows in the universe
excuse the mess
we'll clean it up...

Every night
there I lay awake
thinking of the things that could be

Every day
dreaming of the things
I want to see

Living free
enjoying every breath
things could be better...
living free 

Stay calm
relax
everything is' gonna be alright
staying true
to myself
I won't do the things that most expect

Gaining force
in the right direction
we can do this if we want

Give me love
NOT that hate

Give me something to look forward

Every night
there I lay awake
thinking of the things that could be

Every day
dreaming of the things
that we could have

Living free
enjoying every breath
things could be better...

Living free
in every corner of my mind
there is no place
I can't go
 
I go
to that place 
that no one can disturb
I see
no reason
not to go again
every time I want

Gaining force
in the right direction
we can do this if we want
getting strong
every day is new
we can follow this path
until the end of time

Give me love
NOT that hate
Feel the love
Lose that hate

Truth will
in the end
prevail over all delusion's wake
why not
take control
we don't need to play the fool no more

Gaining force
in the right direction
we can change the world if we want

Give me love
NOT that hate
Feel the love
Feel the love

Living free
enjoying every breath
things could be better

Living free
I look inside my heart
to see what's there
love or hate?
to see what's there
love or hate?
to see what's there
love...

Escape Route

Love or Hate?

Love Or Hate?

This one was developed and recorded one afternoon about a year ago with Jose (the Problem) when no one was thinking about mics or recording quality or nuthin', and I can’t really remember what we did. I opened it back up a few weeks ago and did a little editing. But it was basically live. I was playing v-drums somewhere back there with a little speaker, while Jose played piano with at least one mic. We may have added the vocals separately. I don’t know. I just don’t know.

Tales From a Midnight Bucket
                            Janine Levinson & Jose Freitas

It pours on me from a midnight bucket somewhere in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe oil, maybe blood
I don't know

It hounds me so from a twisted chair squeaking as it rocks
Burn my ears, maybe cries, maybe songs, maybe pleading
I don't know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul  

It gets a hold: a wire machine with poison in the gears
Bitter oil, maybe pitch, maybe tar, maybe grease
I don't know

It’s underneath my parchment skin and worms its way to light
Maybe bugs, maybe hair, maybe bone, maybe bile 
I don’t know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul     
ooooooooh!

Strings of tar
Rising twister helpless in the rancid air
Cataract stars 
Fraying leather 
Helpless in the rancid air

It shoots in me a spear of ice freezing in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe soil, maybe gone
I don't know  

It undermines my blistered soles and forces me to crawl
Maybe dirt, maybe worms, maybe flesh, maybe gold 
I don’t know 

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul

The Midnight Bucket (Live) (Probably)

This song is based on an original idea by Jeff Buckley and Liz Fraser. Sadly it was never finished or properly recorded in his lifetime. Bethany and I thought that the song deserved to be completed and so we set out to do just that.

The full band version of this song can be found on Bethany's SC profile:

https://soundcloud.com/bethanygraceuk/all-flowers-in-time-bend-towards-the-sun

This version is the Acoustic Mix.

There were so many great performances from the musicians involved that we really thought it would be great to really hear the quieter instruments in their own setting. Not only does it give yet another take on the song but it also allows you to really hear the beautiful vocals once again.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

How sweet it is to have the exceptional Daniele Petrocchi join me on electric bass on our original, Back to "School".  Starts out as a Bossa Nova and then heads into some serious funk territory.  Daniele lives just outside of historic Pisa, Italy, and is such a fine musician.  Follow more of his gorgeous phrasing and music here:  https://soundcloud.com/daniele-petrocchi
And follow his collection of great videos of his playing on YouTube:
