Eleventh Hour 2025

WT 6-12-25

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

Guns of Brixton (Lars) 1-5-25 v2

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. 

Guns of Brixton (WTJB) 1-8-25 v1.2

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

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 attempt at the bluegrass/oldtime classic, "Man of Constant Sorrow". WT on cajon. WT and I were banished to the rooftop due to a house full of covid limiting the ability to play inside. I dragged a microphone up there. Despite the NYC city noise, it was a cool place to record.

First attempt at a new song with WT. We recorded on the roof. WT on cajon and shakers. Acoustic guitar. 

Time Out of Mind (WTJB)  6-12-25 v4

Boxcar Musicl, done on the roof with WT. Getting ready for a performance. Acoustic guitar and cajon.

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.
