This cover of the CCR version of this Screaming Jay Hawkins classic began as an idea Josh had for Eclectic Collective putting on a musical Halloween costume. He was inspired by his favorite band, Phish, who cover an entire album every Halloween as a musical costume. Although, which song we covered was up for debate from the start. 
  Once we decided on a song, Josh laid down the skeleton for it on his '71 SG. Once we had a framework to work with, Ken laid down his rocking drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section by adding his trusty P-bass. Even though the song was now in its infancy, Carl summoned all his Halloween spirit for his dynamic vocal performance.  
  Now that it was sounding like a real song, JJ dropped both the key piano part, as well as his expressive organ in there, too. Mark wasn't far behind, adding his magic via the sax to the solo section, and strings in the third verse. Stephen came through with the spooky tremolo guitar and the fiery first half of the guitar solo in the solo section right after. And to put the cherry on the musical sundae, Tez brought the lightning down for the second half of the guitar solo, as well as the solo work that leads the whole way to the end.
  We all enjoyed bringing this classic song back to life, and doing it in the spirit of what may be the most fun holiday on the callendar. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy Halloween!

The Kinrid

   Howdy friends and hopefully everybody is looking forwards to a very Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends this year! We need a little cheering up! This is a song I wrote in 2021 during the pandemic and it's partially about my favorite film of all time "The Wizard Of Oz" with Judy Garland. I've loved this film since I was a kid and now I own like 20 copies of it in all formats and watch it once a year religiously! The song is mostly about finding our inner child and returning to that time when everything seemed to be an adventure and there was magic in the air and music all around! It's like a dream song and as everyone knows there are good things and bad things in dreams, there are friends and there are witches sometimes, as in life, but the journey is always well-worth it for me! 
      This was also one of the first music-videos I ever made with the help of my wonderful wife and it was really too choppy and the clips I used were really blurry and I used way too many gif's and the sound was muddy. At the time we thought it was great but when I rewatched it, I knew I needed to redo it! So earlier this year I decided to do a remix of the song and the video. I added several more clips but couldn't really find any nice clear ones from "The Wizard Of Oz" because it's copyrighted I guess, so I had to use fuzzy ones but you guys get the picture!

     The song is one of my best with some of my best lyrics, I think. It's all about Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) and her finding her inner child and wanting to go on a journey over the rainbow but when she gets there all she wants to do is go back home! Isn't that what we all want to do? We want to go back home but sadly we cannot. 
     I worked very hard on the song and Charlie really sang it well! My wife helped out on the backing vocals too. I hope the Remix turned out a little better than before. The video was a headache to put together because of all the "Wizard Of Oz" clips I inserted but I hope I did a decent job of it, it looks much better now than the origianl video I had done!
     So Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and let's all remember what it was like being a child, all the wonder and excitement that life seemed to offer us back then, for me it was a magical time and watching "The Wizard Of Oz" every Thanksgiving was part of that magic! I'll always remember the classic lines in the film like "Your heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by other!" That's they key to life you know, oh and one more very important thing! "There's No Place like home"! (Ain't that the truth!) Happy Holidays!🙏😎✌🏼

“SOMEWHERE IN BLUE"

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?  
IS THAT STILL YOU UNDERNEATH?   
ARE YOU STILL GROWING?
CAN IT BE TRUE? IS THAT STILL YOU?  
     
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  
WHAT GOALS HAVE YOU ACHIEVED?                 
ARE YOU IMPROVING?   
CAN IT BE TRUE?     
THEY SAY WHAT'S OLD RETURNS BRAND NEW,  
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW,    
SHE STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN BLUE,

ARE YOU ENLIGHTENED?  
HAVE YOU EXPANDED YOUR MIND?   
IS LIFE EXCITING?    
CAN IT BE TRUE?  IS THAT STILL YOU? 
     
ARE YOU EVOLVING?  
HAVE YOU LEFT CHILDHOOD BEHIND?   
WAS IT WORTH SOLVING?   
CAN IT BE TRUE?  
THEY SAY OLD WOUNDS LEAVE SCAR TISSUE,  
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW,  
IS SHE STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN BLUE?

GROWING UP IS HARD,        
HANG-UPS CAN SOMETIMES SPOIL THE VIEW,         
THE HOOPS YOU'RE JUMPING THROUGH,          
CAN GET THE BEST OF YOU,         
SO FIND THAT LITTLE GIRL HIDING IN THERE,         
SOMEWHERE IN BLUE,
     
OOH THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW,
SHE STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN BLUE, 
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW.
