New Music Release – Life On The Other Side – Copyright 2023

The title track on this CD, Life on The Other Side is a soulful blues ballad. On this track, I used my work horse, the Fender Acoustic Electric for all the guitar work including that killer solo. I played the counter melody using a Rhodes Electric piano sound with the Fender Acoustic Electric. The melody is played using a Grand Piano sound and the same Fender Acoustic Electric. Let’s get to the music.

There’ll Be Time for Us is a ballad about time and love. This one is almost a prayer, that there will be time for us. I am playing the melodies using a Rhodes Electric piano sound, my Martin acoustic electric and a little with the Stratocaster. The solo is the Fender Acoustic electric. I hear “one day, you will see, there will be time for us.” Let’s get to the music.

Listen To Your Heart is a simply beautiful ballad. I started writing this track after hearing my daughter humming a melody. That melody inspired me to sit down at the piano and start writing. Adding in the piano chords, strings, guitar, drums, and bass line. I love how the strings and just the Grand Piano sound start this track. The Fender Acoustic sounds great on this track as the alternate melody and soon becoming the main melody. Thank you, Jessica, for the inspiration. Let’s get to the music.

Why Don’t Ya Just Let Us Play is a big track with a kicking bass line, great rhythm guitar work, killer melody and solo. On this one I wanted a big blues/rock/fusion track that would get you moving. On this track I started playing with the bass guitar first and later recorded the rhythm guitar track. Keys and Horns came later. That drum programming was a blast to work on. I used the Gibson SG for the chords and melody and the Fender Stratocaster for the solo. That solo is so cool, the way it comes in towards the end of the track and really turns the song on its head. Let’s get to the music.

There’s Never Enough Time is a beautiful ballad. I love the interplay of the melodies between the Fender Acoustic Electric and the Grand Piano. The chords are played using a Rhodes electric piano and soft rising strings sounds. I played the solo on my Gibson SG, and it sounds awesome giving this track a new vibe. I hear in this track, “Why is there never enough time. But we will find a way”. Let’s get to the music.

Just Kick Back and Relax is the last track on this cd. It came about as a fun little jam. On this track I really was just having fun playing my Martin acoustic electric and the song just came to me. I feel like this track is made for cruising around town or while walking along the beach, just humming a sweet little melody. On this one I am playing my Martin acoustic electric for all guitar work. I am playing the Grand Piano sound for the melody and the Rhodes Electric piano is playing chords. Let’s get to the music.
