#Den and Jim Collaborations

Haven't done a collaboration in a while.  Decided on this one.  My brother Denis is in Massachusetts and I'm in Norway.  I really sharing files back and forth.  Had fun with this one!

Til There Was You (Beatles cover) (Denis and Jim) - 11112021, 11.47 - Warm - Low

Julia -  Denis and Jim Collaboration(Beatles Cover) 181220211

Denis and I threw this one together.  I always liked the arrangement but not too keen on the words for this one.  But it was fun to sing anyway.  No overdubs, denis on guitar.

I'm Not In Love - Den and Jim - (10cc Cover) - remastered

My brother recorded this the other day and asked me to do the vocals.  Always fun to collaborate with Denis.  You should check out his channel.  He's in my faves.

Your Song - Den and Jim - (Elton John Cover) - remastered

I found this track lying around.  Maybe I should finish this one. Denis recorded the music a few years back and I laid the vocals a year or so later.   Always meant to throw some harmonies on this one.

Feel a Whole Lot Better - Denis and Jim, sans Overdubs (The Byrds / Tom Petty Cover)

This is a pretty yet sad song that has become a holiday main stay. This one reminded me of my Sister when it first came out.  She was away in the military.  Heck or was it my brother, I can't remember now.  Now it just reminds me of everyone.

2000 Miles - Den and Jim - (The Pretenders Cover) - remastered

This is a great tune by Gordon Lightfoot.  I heard someone cover The Greatest Love of All, and was reminded that Gordon Lightfoot sued the writers of that tune.  I can kinda hear why. Anyway, great tune by Gordon, and I like it better than The Greatest Love Of All anyway.  I worked on this version with my Brother in Boston. It's kind a fun to do these long distance collaborations.

If You Could Read My Mind - Den and Jim - (Gordon Lightfoot cover) - remastered

Great tune from McCartney's amazing Flaming Pie Album.

Calico Skies - Den And Jim - (Paul McCartney Cover) - remastered

This is a Harrison song I keep coming across.. At first I didn't quite like it, but it's grown on me now and I think it's quite good.  Denis and I have been working on this one..   From Wikipedia: Music critics note the influence of light jazz and soul in the composition, similar to the work of songwriter Burt Bacharach, and Harrison himself considered "Learning How to Love You" to be the best song he had written since his much-covered Beatles hit "Something".

Learning How To Love You - Den and Jim - (George Harrison Cover) - remastered

This would have have been our 20th anniversary..... never gone from my heart mister.  Recorded this one remotely with my brother Denis.  He send me the base guitar picking track.. I added the main vocal.   I tried to layer a piano part but just didn't like how it sounded, so I added a guitar or two.  I later added additional vocals  (and the crickets).  When I'm home during summer and record in the living room, I love the way the crickets sound, so I recorded them.  Some of the backing vocals I added by singing into a rolled up magazine to get this sort of organ sound.

Alone Again Naturally ( Gilbert O'Sullivan Cover ) 0807 203947 - 19082019, 12.22

Found this Gem of George Harrison's self titled LP from 1979.  Denis and I have been working on this for some weeks.  Today it's dedicated to Mom. Your love is forever.
