like the 'distant' Fender going back and forth the channels!

you make solo's sound so loosely easy! Terriffic!

It really feels groovy, my friend... and the epiano touch plus the thick&solid synth bassline keeps it going :-) Love it, Jamie!

Funked Up

A traditional 12 bar blues with an aggressive solo through a favorite electric guitar patch.  Photo of the The Whailer's drummer from a concert last weekend.  He was terrific!

Electric Blues

We had a blast pulling this together.  Its a simple blues/gospel riff on organ in F, that sets up some wonderful opportunities for heavy jams over the top by Justin and Tom, two of the finest blues players I have ever recorded with.  Tom has the solos with a more treble sound, and Justin boosts his midrange and bass.  Check out their SoundCloud pages if you are not familiar.  They are bad ass, just like this tune.  Let us know what you think!

A hard replay of truth. I can not play piano, but draw better. Nobody - nobody can do this on a piano. This piece should have been longer, but small is intense.

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass 

This song was released a few weeks ago as a mix that Stephen did. Tez, being the equally talented producer that he is, decided to make a mix that highlighted the interplay between the guitars and the keys. This mix is more focused on the instruments, while still giving Steve's vocals their due. 
  The song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm acoustic guitar, as well as his always solid, dynamic drums to it. In short order, Ken got the rest of the Eclectic Collective together on it, starting with Josh, who added his five string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Next up was JJ, who's keys, both organ and piano, can be heard livening the whole thing up. Then came Tez with his fiery ripping guitar fills. 
  We were all blown away, though, when Stephen added his equally ripping guitar fills as responses to Tez's parts. It really sounds like the two maestros are having a conversation. Not to be outdone, Chris sprinkled some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning.  
  We all really enjoy working on Steve's songs, although it's been a few months since we did one together.  It's been proven many times before that if,you start out with something good, and you end up with some thing great. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:
I hope we ever meet x2
I hope to see you again
I hope to see you smile
I hope to be your friend x2
Hand in hand, hand in hand
Once again x3
I hope you shake my hand
On the boulevard
Gazing at the stars, gazing at the stars
I hope you ever be, a part of family
A comfort zone for me x2
To be around in everything I found
Please, please love me, forever being around
Hope you ever be, a part of me
Hope to touch your eyes, I hope to touch your love
One day you’ll see that you belong with me

When I was a child, I often went mountain climbing with my grandfather. My grandfather was a very strong man. I looked back on those memories and released them as a composition here, calling it an adventure. Thank you for listening.

Are you feeling groovy?  You should be....
