@better-with-the-blues: Thanks for listening! I'm glad you enjoyed it. A slow minor blues seemed like the perfect music to deal with this very sad subject.

You can't take life too seriously. Sometimes you have to sing the blues. These songs were written between spring of 2009 and today. Some of these songs are collaborations with some of my musically talented friends. Enjoy, leave a note, tell your friends!

Silence | From EP 'Thoughts'

A collaboration with soundcloud artist Lainie Wessel. A blues with a classic 1960's / 70's funk and soul sound, with rocking lead guitar. Female vocal by Lainie, lead and rhythm guitars by Rob, bass guitar by Rob.
That PRS McCarty with P90's I played has amazing sustain and tone!

Psycho Ex (Lainie Wessel on vocal)

A blues rock track with lead guitar, vocals and live drumming. 
Tony Jefferson on drums. Rob on vocal, guitars, bass, and Hammond organ. 

Last Days Blues

A heavy rocking blues with blistering guitar work, about a guitar picker who can't understand his bad luck in romance. I wrote the words back in 2009. Instead of trying to play "authentic" blues licks, I just cut loose on the solos. All electric guitar parts were my US Masters SG with Dimarzio PAF's. Amps were a Peavey 6505+  head into a XXX cab for rhythm, a Jet City head into a Marshall cab for the neck pickup solos, and the Peavey Penta for the bridge pickup soloing.

Fall On My Feet

New version of Low Rise Jeans, remixed, with improved sound quality, and with drums re-recorded using EZ Drummer. Guitar solos redone, song remixed  in May 2014.
Remixed, remastered in 2017.

Low Rise Jeans

You can debate about whether a glass is half empty or half full, but when it's completely empty, it's time to sing the blues.

The guitar was a Hamer Studio. 
Guitar amp was a Reason Bambino Grande plugged into a Marshall speaker cab. 
Also used was a BBE Green Screamer. 
The bass was a Hamer Monaco.

No More Beer

A partial remake of a song I recorded in 2017. For 2018 I redid the vocals, guitar and bass. Rather than use a pick, I played the guitar with my fingers to get a more soulful, expressive blues tone.
The guitar was a sunburst PRS 305, going into a Skreddy Dynamic Mids Enhancer and then a Peavey Wiggy amp. The amp was miked with a Stedman N90 and Heil PR30 mics. 
The Waves Abbey Road Chamber reverb was used on the guitar track.
The bass is a Hamer Cruise Bass 5 string, through an EBS Billy Sheehan overdrive pedal and into a Tech 21 Landmark 300 bass amp with a Hartke speaker. 
The drums were done using EZ Drummer, with the Blues expansion kit.

This is a song that I wrote while I was a worship leader in Mequon, WI.  This was a worship song that the nondenominational church sang on a regular basis during their services.  This is a rough home recording made about 20 years ago.  (7 second delay at the beginning of the recording!)

Here's a small glimpse into what I've been up to over the last few months, it's called grow.

We're going to release it properly sometime in the next few weeks but didn't want you all to have to wait!

At The End Of The World

The title track of our last CD Cardington 
Lifesigns 
www.lifesignsmusic.co.uk

Cardington

A page that started out back around 2010 with Rob posting blues, rock, country and pop tunes recorded with fellow musicians and singers, and a few on which Rob does all vocals, guitars and bass, and EZ Drummer plays drums.
Since 2019, Rob  has been devoting all his musical energies to writing and recording progressive rock. Fewer songs but more elaborate compositions and fancier playing.
There are tracks from other projects/bands Rob plays in here too.
