The Barnett Consequential - Big Brother

Oldskool Rhythm and Blues, inspired by a musical acquaintance - if you know who, don't tell.
All takes were first or second ones. No pop shield for the vocals.
This all helps to get the raw sound ...
Riddim guitar is a Fender Strat, middle pickup, through a Pod Mk 1 on the Fender Twin setting, one track duplicated and panned left and right slightly apart in time, which sounds like a lot of bands I've been in. 
Last chorus could be trimmed maybe. 
Recorded using Steinberg Cubase VST32 5.1, a long-obsolete DAW (apparently). Graphics-rich and lovely to use though. Designed for Windows 98 and 2KPro and now running very flaky on XP and now Vista. Very hard to get monitor drivers for these OSs. Currently reviewing Reaper, but the interface I find hard. Maybe Traktion or MuLab next up.
