Name: Drop D Blues 3-13-25 v1.2 by John Britton in JDB Original songs 2025
Duration: 2 min 23 s
Description: I was bored on a plane and went back through my old soundcloud. Found a playlist from 2018 called "Dreams of Agedir", which was a surf spot we visited in Morocco. I found the bones of this song in Open D tuning. I re-worked it today and added different chorus structure and different lyrics. Fun to revisit long lost friends.

Friend of the Devil

Tried an original song about longing for home. WT on drums and Chris on keys. Fun to dig into the roster of recent songs to try out a deep cut. 

Knoxville (WTJBCD) 1-15-25 v3.3

First original hip hop song. Built off a drum groove by WT. Vocals by Slang Man, bringing Brooklyn rapper vibes. Guitar and production by JB. Fun to try. 

I'm Alright With You (Slangman) 1-15-25 v1.2

Revisited an original song about my young son who had separation anxiety as an 8 year old and didn't want his parents to leave him at bedtime. Playing this a few years after writing it brings me back to that time. WT holding it down on drums. 

Please Don't Go (WTJB) 1-23-25

This is a song under development. I tried a series of chord inversions on this song. I recoded them with WT on drums. Her drumming towards the end is insane. I sent the track to my friend Lauren in Texas and she overdubbed her vocal. The song is still a work in process, but I liked Lauren's direction. 

Inversion (feat Lu)

improv blues jam with my nephews. Henry on sax. Elliot on drums and vocals. I'm on the Telecaster and then on the overdubbed bass.

I made a first attempt at Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage->Eclipse" from Dark Side of the Moon. I played the song on acoustic guitar rather than electric guitar which is used on the album. I overdubbed bass and also harmonies. The song "Eclipse" has a whole choral backing section and I did four vocal overdubs (including some acapella acrobatics) to approximate the sound. Then I had my friend WT overdub drums. The drums add so much to the chorus. I'm grateful to her! It was fun to try a less covered Floyd song. 

Brain Damage-Eclipse 5-6-25 v1.5

Tammany String Band plays acoustic music from Americana to bluegrass to folk in New York City. Peggy-O is a traditional song.
Tammany String Band is John Britton on vocals and mandolin; Jay Keuper on bass, Jane Perrino on vocals, and Tim Schmidt on guitar and vocals.

Peggy - O

acoustic version of Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee". Michael Karnow on acoustic guitar and vocal.

One More Cup Of Coffee 2 - 24 - 18 V2

This song started as a solo acoustic sing songwriter track, vaguely in an old-time musical style. Pete Miser took that straightforward song and totally reimagined it. I'm thrilled and honored by the work he did on it.

Our Direction 1.0

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.
