WMC: Wolbai-Music-Collaborations PLAYLIST

Dear friends & visitors: “Time” from the “The Dark Side Of The Moon”-album of Pink Floyd (1973) is another instrumental song project with my dear musician buddies Jimmy Quango, Honeyspiders and me. With this song and album I associate many great moments from my youth, when I listened to the songs with my buddies for hours and discussed the lyrics. A great time that I will never forget!! Jimmy Quango recorded the soulful fingerstyle acoustic guitar part. And Honeyspiders contributes with tastful ambient guitar sounds. Please check out the YT channel of these amazing musicians (see links below). I recorded and played all the other instruments (drums, bass, e-guitar, keyboards), did the song arrangement and the mixing/mastering. Honeyspiders and I did the video creation. Please take your time and watch the video until the end. I would be very happy if you like and enjoy our version of this truly giant Progressive Rock masterpiece. Let me know what you think about it and leave a comment. With love and passion for music – Wolbai 🎵

Dear friends & visitors: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is probably one of George Harrison's greatest musical legacies for all guitarists in the world. The song released in 1968 on the Beatles' "White Album" was interpreted in awesome versions by a large number of well-known guitarists. And so I followed his call with my dear musician buddy Horst R. (vocals) from my Live band times. We have used a Backing track based on the TOTO-version (Steve Lukather) of this epic guitar song. I think every guitarist along his own guitar journey will stumble across this iconic song and wonder when the time is right to pay homage to George Harrison with his own rendition.  With love and passion for music 🎵

Dear friends & visitors: I'm very happy to present you with Chris Rea's "The Road To Hell" song from 1989, a new music collaboration that I'm doing with my musician buddies Chris Schaefer (vocals)and Johan TT (Bass). I took care of the song arrangement, the drums, various keyboard instruments, the electric guitars, the Mixing/Mastering and the video production. In a frightening way, the original purpose of the lyrics is in a different way more relevant than ever! How can one describe the state of the world today more aptly than with: "Look out world, take a good look what comes down here. You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well! This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway. Oh no, this is the road, this is the road, this is the road to hell"... For this reason, we also chose a black and white format for the video design. I hope you like our Part-2 cover version and you can enjoy it! With love and passion for music 🎵

The Road To Hell

The Road To Hell - CHRIS REA

Dear friends & visitors: Together with my musician friend Horst (vocals)https://www.youtube.com/@HoPe-Eventmusic , I recorded the song "Now That The Magic Has Gone" from Joe Cocker's Night Calls album (1991/1992). John Miles wrote the song for Joe Cocker and also plays the electric guitar parts in the original recording. I don't know if I adore either of them (R.I.P.) more as a musician. Both have left their mark on rock/pop music history in their own way. If Joe Cocker, the better known of the two, was more the frontman and in the limelight, John Miles (songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist) was a second-tier music giant. In addition to his own songs ("Music"/1976), he was also the band leader for well-known musicians such as Tina Turner and Joe Cocker for many years. Unfortunately, Horst and I didn't manage to make video recordings of the vocals and instruments for this song project. Instead, I created a video to support the lyrics in visual form. All instruments were recorded by me. And I did the Mixing/Mastering as well. I hope you like and enjoy it! Please leave a comment and tell me what you think about it. With love and passion for music 🎵

Now That The Magic Has Gone - JOE COCKER

Dear friends & visitors: I am very happy and grateful to present you this cover version of "I'll Be Around" by the American vocal band "The Spinners" from 1972! Chris Schaefer sang the lead vocals and significantly influenced the song with his outstanding voice. He also took over some parts of the video production. Many, many thanks also to Rachelle Amanda who with her second lead vocals helped the chorus parts to shine even more. Your voice is like the icing on the cake! Recorded at legendary Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia with the support of their MFSB house band, the Original has that particular Phillysound soul character that was very popular at the time. In addition to the original song, elements of other cover (e.g. by Hall & Oates) and Funk elements have also flowed into our version. I took care of the song arrangement, the recording of the instruments, the Mixing/Mastering and the final video production. In the first half of the 16-bar guitar solo, I was inspired by R&B/Soul/Funk guitarist Johnny Guitar Watson’s (R.I.P.) sound and playing style. I would be very happy if you like our special cover version and you can enjoy it! Feel free to leave me a comment and tell me what you think about it. With love and passion for music – Wolbai  🎵

I'll Be Around - THE SPINNERS

Dear friends & visitors: “Turn Your Love Around”, from “The George Benson Collection” album (1981), is another cover song project with singer and dear musician friend Chris Schäfer https://www.youtube.com/@chrisschaefer8079 Our cover version has more guitar emphasis than the original including a guitar solo in the style of George Benson. And the groove is a bit more funky/R&B like. Chris gave the song a special touch with his voice, which he skillfully escalates in the outro section! All instrumental parts and some backing vocals were done by me. I also do the Mixing/Mastering and the video production. I would be very happy if you like our special version and you can enjoy it! Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you think about it! With love and passion for music – Wolbai  🎵

Dear friends: Welcome to my SoundCloud-channel!

I'm a songwriter, song arranger, multi-instrumentalist and Mixing/Mastering freak dedicated to home recording and music collaborations. And the guitar is my main instrument. My musical roots go back to the 70s and 80s. In addition to my own songs, I am regularly looking for musical pearls, which I often celebrate with my musician buddies as part of virtual song projects, and thereby dress them in a new musical guise. My musician friends and I do not have financial interests. 

To expand my network of musicians, I'm always looking for new musician friends - mainly singers - who are interested in music collaboration, but who have reached their musical limits on their own and now want to take the next step. If you have an expressive voice, then I can offer you all the other skills and experience you need to get a professional-sounding song project off the ground.
