Jolene - Slowed down Dolly Parton

A remix for the Spinninrecords competition.

Re-wrote, played and arranged all the instruments on this track - took only the vocal tracks from the stems supplied. Slowed it all down a touch to give real gospel feel. Great vocal from Laura White.

Thanks to #nickdray for the bassline

This was an amazing improv that Kait Dunton - https://soundcloud.com/kaitdunton - put on Social her media and musicians have added their own take on it but still including her marvellous piano playing. 

Here's my input, I've put a string section and Flutes onto it.

Here is the original video

Built this like building blocks and the vocal sounded so good it gave me the inspiration to put this rhythmic piece together. All on the chord of G.

Feeling Good

The March of Time

A three-part musical story of a family man, wrongly accused of murder who becomes an outlaw and on the run from his old life.

DADDY-AMIGO

V1
Oh! Amigo, forgotten son,
You're an outlaw with children and a wife.
In a town called Estonia, armed with a gun,
You took away the price of a life.

Ch1
"Oh! Daddy, Daddy. Where have you gone?
It's the same old story that's being told.
You left us all here without a song,
And you wont be back before you get too old."

V2
Stretched out before you, as far as you can see,
Lies the desert with its sands open wide.
Look right behind you, you know you'll not be free,
They'll be coming and no one's on your side.

C2
Can you hear them calling from where you came?
Can you still see them standing by the door?
As the years go by they'll always look the same.
It's not funny, you won't see them anymore.

V3
Out of the darkness, you meet you match
And he's standing there with blood in his eyes.
He's a man hungry for killing, the name you didn't catch,
Revenging the years of children's cries.

C3
Show down in the desert beneath the stars.
In a hide out of a lost, forgotten place.
No one they're to see him as he tries to mend the scars.
Amigo, you didn't even see his face.

V4
You're all alone now, lying in the sand.
As the wind blows it hide anotper story.
A son says to a father as he takes his hand
"Its a sad song, don't you want to say you're sorry?"

Ch 4
"Oh! Daddy, Daddy, Where have you gone?
It's the same story that's being told.
You've left me all alone here without a song.
And you didn’t come back and now I've got too old."

Daddy Amigo

Part 2 – Daddy Amigo

My version of the best song in the world. 

I played all the instrumentation on this just to see if I could, also singing on it too. It sounds ok I think.
