HARK THE HERALD ANGELS

John The Revelator....

If only I had written John The Revelator.

Covered by everyone from Nick Cave, Beck, REM and the list goes on. There is just something about this song that lends itself to so many different interpretations. It is full of imagery and it fires the imagination. At the end of the day, a great song stands the test of time and this passes with full honors.

Obviously I don’t put myself in the class of the artists above, but I think I at least captured the religious fervor, ramshackle feeling that I was going for. And yes, that is me doing my best Axl Rose.

For the guitar sound, I ditched my usual Gibson or Guild acoustics and used a cheap Ibanez Masa acoustic. I then distorted the sound through a tiny Peavy Rage practice amp (remember those!), added some reverb and feed it into the mix. I really like the sound. 

Hope you enjoy!
