Love that detailed rythmic background here

! deep groove, plus very explosive PRS tones!

A track that must be heard infinitely many times. Superb! One of your finest ones

The way the acoustic grows into the mix ....

The background here is so tasty. Perfectly balanced

Soundcloud Treasure!

It picks up where <a href="http://soundcloud.com/the-odd-sox/half-irish-part-one">Half Irish - Part One</a> leaves off

Half Irish - Part Two

... and obviously <a href="http://soundcloud.com/the-odd-sox/half-irish-part-ii">Half Irish - Part Two</a> picks up where this one leaves off,

LE VENT D'OUEST.  🎧

New Collaboration with the Multi-Talented Lou Osiavo ( Ian Greaves )
Please show him some love with all the brilliant work he does on Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/user-659662265
Lyrics :-
If it's working for you
Entitled to your 
Point of view
But it's not working 
For me
I would rather find the truth
No matter
What the scholars say
They don't 
Mean much these days

History
Don't reflect
And it 
Don't resonate
Brave new world
We found out
What this place
is about

If it's working for you
Entitled to your 
Point of view
But it's not working 
For me
I would rather find the truth
No matter
What the scholars say
They don't 
Mean much these days

Don't mean much these days

Grandfather (II)

'Mochrum' is a hill close to where I live. Over the last few years the trees have been decimated for some unknown reason. Probably the allowing for the free flow of 5G. However the hill still stands proud and will in time make it's way back to it's former glory as a monument to the power of mother nature.
This track then is my respect for the hill known as 'Mochrum'.

Walking The Straight And Narrow

Mochrum

We're happy to announce that we have a new song ready to show the world. This one is more in the melodic techno style, spooky yet uplifting.

We were joined on this version by the talented synth player Bruce Parsons. Here is his soundcloud page: @blankreg
Bruce added around 7 additional parts to the beginning part of the song. We think it turned out lovely, very nice job, Bruce! Thanks for joining us!

"Sonder - (neologism) The profound feeling of realizing that everyone has a life as complex as one's own."

Title named by Katya Solo: (https://soundcloud.com/katyasolo)

Feel free to remix this one (non-commercially) if you like.

Thanks for listening!

Yeah I don’t finish things. I’ll think about remembering that next time 😋

Pearls Before Swine!

Instrumental  Version of "Gimme Some Lovin’" (1966)- for its "50th Anniversary"  
[more info >> below]  - SPEAKERS recommended wo/headphones - 

This is the second collab work with Paul (@paul-racle )- Several months ago, while we were working for the previous collab song, he sent me his cover(backing) of this song as well, and kindly asked me if I’d like to add some onto it. I said Yes!! ...it's one of my all time favorite songs again ! 
His initial version of backing track can be heard in the vocal version featuring our good friend, David - link: https://soundcloud.com/david-louthan/give-me-some-lovin2-paploviante-david-lee-louthan

As you can hear there, the initial version itself already sounded great to my ears, and seemed to work perfectly for vocal addition or so. On one hand, I felt that it wouldn't be interesting enough if I merely interpose guitar solo or the other onto it. So, I asked him if I could re-arrange the whole structure of backing, and he generously allowed me to do whatever with it...
I apologize for my delay in finishing(I'd completed most of arrangement and recordings a few months ago- before the vocal version was published, but I haven't had time to do music at all since then...not only for this)...but finally I could find a little spare time to do....Hope you enjoy!
Once again, I'd like to thank Paul for his offering and patience.

- Original song was written by Steve Winwood, Spencer Davis and Muff Winwood, released in 1966 (London), and performed by The Spencer Davis Group ( later the reprise/self-cover by Traffic). 

- The picture for the cover art was borrowed from the album of Traffic's "Traffic" (1968). Copyright of the original picture must belong to the original artist and the label.

[Additional Notes on Arrangements & Recording]

-Guitars: Fender Strat '58 w/ Marshall JVM (overdrive, reverb, open-mic), partially w/ Vintage CE-1, Jen Crybaby Wah (only to narrow the range), MXR Phase 90(only for B Guitar-3)

I have some albums including this song (the original version by the SDG, the live version by Traffic and some other covers), and I love the Traffic's version most.
So, my arrangement started firstly by re-interpreting that version(for the  guitar riffs, percussion, etc).
That one can be found on their album "Welcome to the canteen".
>>Amazon Link: amzn.com/B00006399Z

The major differences from the SDGs original are the riff - than the famous one that the SDG borrowed from the Homer Banks' song "A Lot of Love" - and the rhythm sections. 

You can also see on Youtube, that there is another one(with similar riff arrangement ) performed by Winwood's band featuring E.Clapton("The ARMS Concert, London 1983", which I think was the best performance by them). 
>> Youtube Link: youtu.be/5vvH-mUaPEY

Whereas, those versions that I love don't have any lead phrase of guitar.
Therefore, all guitar licks in our version were written myself.
