3 cover tunes recorded "for fun" and because I grew up loving them.
We took our time to try to dial everything in for proper metalization. :-) We wanted to stay true to the original tracks while also throwing in a few unexpected twists and turns to make things a little more exciting than a note for note re-creation. Things might be a little louder or heavier....but the original spirit is still there so you can still put on your boogie shoes and dance. :-) These songs were recorded with loud nasty guitars cranked to maximum volume in mind and mixed with lots of track panning to enhance the headphone listening experience...so put 'em on...crank it up to 12...and BLOW IT OUT YOUR EARHOLE!!!

The fourth song was chosen and recorded in memory of Joe and Jeff Young. Joe wrote this one and I'm sure Jeff was right there giving him a hand. I've always loved the lyrics to this tune and as far back as 10 years ago I've had it in my head to record it as kind of bluegrass/country style....Almost did it on my own once with just guitar and vocal but chickened out :-)
I went out of my comfort zone on the vocals but I think it came out pretty cool. Listen closely with headphones and you'll hear some nice harmonies buried in the mix.

This recording is also special to me because I was able to play my Great Uncle Taft Smith's Nylon Acoustic which was specially built for him by Mr. Ray Ledford who I took guitar lessons from as young teen looking to be a rock star. I also was able to play my other Great Uncle Warren Smith's 4 string tenor guitar so that made me feel really good because I have fond memories of listeing to both of them play as I was growing up.

I hope the Young brothers would approve.....RIP Mighty Joe and BBQ. Miss you guys forever.

Also RIP Bon Scott, Malcom Young, & Lemmy Kilmister
Thanks for the rock!

Cheers to anyone who listens to these tunes...and for anyone who purchases a single song or the full release....You rule more than usual!

Thanks to Chad Houser for all your awesome and hard work and for putting up with all my "can we do that again?" without choking me. You're a talented dude....can't wait to do more!
