Songs of 2025

Karnow in the house from Warsaw. Five recording sessions. One with Slage; One with WT. All covers, but so fun.

Lars and John try a classic song by the Clash, "Guns of Brixton".

A second attempt at the Norah Jones song "Staring at the Wall". On this version I overdubbed the piano part that is in the original song. Thanks Chris D for the keyboard pointers!

Staring At The Wall (WTJB) 1-8-25 v1.3

A second attempt at The Clash song "Guns of Brixton". I played electric guitar and sang with a drummer and then overdubbed bass. This cool song has a hypnotic groove.

My second attempt at the song "Naked Eye" by Luscious Jackson, and my first attempt with a drummer. This song has an infectious groove on the chorus. The all-female band Luscious Jackson were ahead of their time. 

Naked Eye (WTJB) 1-8-25 v1.2

A cover of the Rollings Stones song "Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" from 1973. Hard to do justice to the original song (with its cool Billy Preston clavinet), but it is fun to play. 

Heartbreaker (WTJB) 1-8-25 v1.2

I have an ongoing collaboration since 2018 with my friend Michael who lives in both Poland and LA. In the summer of 2025, Michael had a series of sessions with professional musician Avi on both guitar and vocals. I did production work and added bass. Beautiful stuff. This is a version of Wilco's Company In My Back. 

Company In My Back (MKAvi) 9-8-25 v1_1

Acoustic guitar; folk; Americana; jam band influences; blues; rock; old time; bluegrass; grungey stuff. Even some electro and EDM vibes occasionally. I play a wide mix of music with a lot of different people.
