| Dallas by HooDooBlues | 2 years ago |
| Thanks....Haven't talked to Rich for a long time...AJ | |
| Boom Boom Room by HooDooBlues | 3 years ago |
| The only way I can upload is at the local library from a cd that I have burned, otherwise I have no internet these days....anyway I listened to the original tracks back on the mac laptop and did notice some glitchy bits on a couple of tracks, gonna try and fix and probably re-post in a day or two....also equipment challanged these days, no m-audio firwire, no preamps, in fact the bass is my strat guitar through the garage band vocal transformer! (I typically play my own bass parts on an old Fender Precision)Thanks to the listeners regardless.... | |
| Macon Georgia Jam by HooDooBlues | 3 years ago |
| Same deal , had to mix under head phones, though I'd rather it clean than distorted.......... | |
| Boom Boom Room by HooDooBlues | 3 years ago |
| I have to mix under head phones, so never an ideal way to get a good mix, I'll have to listen again, or try again...anyway thanks! | |
| Mustang Sally by anders007 | 4 years ago |
| Yeah Dave M is the total groove, the bomb, not to take away from the guitar....I wish that you both lived in Canada and we would be in a band together....... | |

| Oh Lord by DaveM | 5 years ago |

Hmmm...very interesting......big wha guitar, you know I'm generally a pretty selfish blues guy but this F#%*'n rocks man!..Hold up! I have to listen again..yep! I must compliment the vocals as well.........well done AJ |
|
| Duke's Return by JD | 5 years ago |
you know ''only loops" is harder then playing sometimes. I saw both incartnations, with Phil as a drummer and later as a front man. I was a big prog rock guy for a while and listened to Chis Squire.... the bass player for YES I saw Brand X, Phil's Fusion Band once,,,,,,,,,Hey do you remember Gentlle Giant? |

| Sometimes the Mighty will Fall by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Yeah it's the 'E minor' to 'A6th'. That's the sound of that Pink Floyd song. And it is the major part of Stevie's song 'Riviera Paradise'. I initially got the idea from listening to Johnny Winter's "Stranger" which is E Minor to A, but the 6th chord makes it more funky and jazzy. Here's a hint for you guitar types, there is a major 7th chord that is a direct replacement for a minor chord. For instance play a 'D' minor then move to an 'F major 7th' they will replace one another as often as you want. The beauty is sometimes you can play in D or you could play major scales in F! |

| Blues for JD by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| OK as long as every one is listening, I'll try and keep dishing.... | |
| Baby Watcha Want Me To Do by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| I generally just go where it takes me. I have a few skills..I know that...really I'm just tryin' to the best that I can with what I have. Sometimes it's where everyone wants it. Sometimes it's a conflict |
|
| Baby Watcha Want Me To Do by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Snowing in Victoria BC..bummer...anyway I knocked off early. You know I listen to my stuff all the time and wonder "is it cool?" then I get remarks from y'all up there and I feel like maybe I've accomlished something. So THANKS! |
|
| Sometimes the Mighty will Fall by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Thanks all......Dave watch for an email | |
| Baby Watcha Want Me To Do by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Thanks Julian..just gettin' up for the day job here on the west coast.....tired.. I'm trying to put a band together...tough work........otherwise paying down the morgage and raisin' my 13 year old daughter and dealing with the struggles of life and wife ya know? Yeah blues,that's all I generally listen too, although sometimes I fall into some 70's Deep Purple or Pink Floyd, Edgar Winter and the White Trash were a good band but more often than not you'll find me either playing or listening blues .....AJ |

| 12 volt battery blues by pete | 5 years ago |
wacky..where's the B3 from......hard to figure the groove sometimes, but just wacky enough |
|
| Solo Slide guitar: Jesus is on the Mainline by Daddio | 5 years ago |
There ya go...been a while since I listened to this....basic but heart felt, that's the most important thing in blues anyway...... |
|
| Sometimes the Mighty will Fall by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| I have a little guitar melody worked out, a little octave sort of thing....I'll try and put something together this week.......Thanks to all! | |
| Sometimes the Mighty will Fall by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| I debated long and hard about vocals. I came up with a few and asked my sister as well.. The more I listened to the song, I felt like, at least for me, that the verses were for introspection, if you know what I mean. For you to decide who meant something to you. sort of....anyway I'm not a poet. But it is for, but not limited to First my friends: David Poynton Bill Minifie Steve Burke Kenny and Bobby Rasmussen Then my influences: Little Walter Jimi Hendrix Duanne Allman Roy Buchanan Rory Gallagher Muddy Waters Albert King Albert Collins Richard Hughes Randy Jo Hobbs Stevie Ray Vaughn Alan Woody |

| Solid Ground by songjammer | 5 years ago |
True to the art with in...yeah that's the tough part alright...workin' for the man and payin' down morgage....that aside excellent bass line, good in tune vocals and intense too. Crying for a big epic guitar solo, but then again I most always think in guitar terms |
|
| KATRINA by songjammer | 5 years ago |
Pretty Funky...and haunting too.....wasn't totally into the guitar sound though the licks where good, the horn bit over the funk groove is very cool...abrupt ending... |
|
| Twist and Shout (Beatles Cover) by SugarPush | 5 years ago |
I don't know about the drums. The Gal sounds nice. I like it generally. You have the little guitar harmony happening. It's the snare fills. Is it a sampler playing a midi file? Alter the velocity levels on some of the hits for a smoother sound. It's loud, so you got that goin' on Did you know it's actually an Isley Brother's song....Regards HooDooBlues |
|
| Matchbox (Ike Turner cover) by littlegiop | 5 years ago |
Yeah, petty much diggin' this........ |
|
| Blues for JD by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Well I'm smiling at you smiling...there you go! I've been goofing with a little Hendrixy groove, so it's really not complete but I figured what the hey, it sounded rockin' to me and I have a total blast crankin' amplitube and blowing my ear drums out. I played through a Micro Vibe pedal that's a sort of a Univibe clone. Jimi used a Univibe quite often. I just wish when I plugged in I would have put the wah in line....Really I was just jammin' to get a feel for where I wanted to go with this deal.........anyway thanks all.... |
|
| Blues for JD by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| My next take I'll use the vox wah....hope 'all dig it...... | |
| She's as Skinny by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| That means alot to me JD...really. I was on the road for a few months, but I'm back for a while Yeah I'm the bass player too.....thanks man! |
|
| Everybody's Crying Mercy ( Mose Allison cover ) by wal4u | 5 years ago |
Yep...chills on the spine type stuff.....really nice |
|
| Chitlins Con Carne (KENNY BURRELL / SRV COVER ) by blues69 | 5 years ago |
Just need to trim off some of the lead in time i.e. the silence at the begining. I listened to the other version, I'll have to listen to it again, that was a week or so ago. Yeah nice job. Does the original have sax as the sort of melody that SRV and everybody plays octaves on? I haven't heard the Kenny Burrell version in years. Nice smooth tone yer gettin' there. Jeez now I want to cover it...as always nice job Blues69.... |
|
| Talk to your Daughter (unplugged cover) by littlegiop | 5 years ago |
I've been listening to a few of your guys stuff, nice. you guys know the deal.... |

| All Your Love (I Miss Loving) version 2.1 by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| That's Otis in the Picture. I know there's lots of pics of him playing ES 335 type guitars but when I saw him play it was a Strat.... | |
| Memory Pain by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Yeah that's Johnny Winter up there because that's where I learned the song from. Johnny is an awesome blues player. |
|
| Young Mans Blues by Dallas | 5 years ago |
Pretty much diggin' this. Listening in Toronto Man! |
|
| Blues News by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Yeah that's right a '72 Fender P Bass through Amplitube, for my part, I believe Anders uses a device called Guitar Rig, correct me if I'm wrong Anders but I believe it is part hardware and part software, and I know he uses a PRS guitar. I thought it was pretty sharp, liked being able to play bass and not worry about licks and guitar tone....thanks Anders...we'll work on something else soon I hope. Unfortunate for me I have a new gig wher I travel all the time and have no guitar on the road, so I just goof with some loops etc, setting stuff up for when I get home...thanks for all the comments...much appreciated and heart felt |
|
| Blues News by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Well I know where yer at, 'Bama.......we talked before......too far for a weekend for what I'm doing from NC......... | |
| Blues News by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Maybe just a little guitar delay ...I hear....... | |
| Blues News by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| By the way I'm gonna be gone in NC for a while...Charlotte....anybody close to there? | |
| Blues News by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Well we'd do it different if'n there was gonna be a vocal..... | |
| Reso-Phonic by Dallas | 5 years ago |
Yeah Brotha' I hear you.......even down here in the burning heat of Palm Springs....be back next week, we'll blow harp on this maybe Later AJ....... |
|
| She Caught the K.T. by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Yeah Bob6Stringer...double duty amps...we all had nice amps back then, I had an Ampeg SVT bass amp, the guitar player, Dave, had a Twin, Brother Dave had a double kit of natural cherry Gretch ( I still have actually) but no PA...our bane.......Ricky was or is, a great harp player, I met through a guy named Kenny Neal, who I also played bass with for awhile, Ricky was from Oakland and we were in this little town outside of Toronto...anyway Kenny made a name for himself, you could google him....he's from a famous blues family from Baton Rouge....I first saw him before I met him playing bass at a Buddy Guy gig. I later met Buddy through Kenny. Kenny introduced me to Albert Collins and Junior Wells too... | |
| Jeff's Boogie (better version) by anders007 | 5 years ago |
Definitely get the great sound! I love the Guitar Rig you have, Like I told you before you really get a SRV sound from a non SRV guitar, but then again you really get a Gary Moore thing going too! Oh Yeah! Two string bends and every thing. Ummm...let me know when you need a crash and burn ending...I have some ending drums....Fades are appropriate some times but this needs a done deal......... |
|
| Macon Georgia Jam by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Yeah it's sort of my all encompassing Allman tribute. In the early 80's a guy named Dan Toler was the other guitar player and his brother was a drummer taking Jaimo's spot for a few years... |

| Slide by Night II by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Dallas and I just hung out on the weekend and played a mess o guitar...Dallas gave me pre mixed tracks for this song that I added to...like the bluesy vox sample fer instance......plus some bass and electric slide....but it was his concept originally..........I was pleased with the out come though....hoodoo.aka AJ | |
| Boogie Thang by Daddio | 5 years ago |

|
| How About that Blues Thing by Dallas | 5 years ago |
Actually Dallas and I live in the same town and are friends. But Inever rated his song though I've heard it before Never heard you play harp like that before though....I think you told me that's your new amp plug in? Later Man! |
|
| Why You... [post-band psycho-swing mix] by Bob6stringer | 5 years ago |
Crazy man, in an almost Hellecasters way, like the other, version. Pretty snappy, I don't know if I could think ahead enough to groove on such a snappy trip.Yeah it's a really live feel, lottsa fun! |
|
| Black Cat Bone by blues69 | 5 years ago |
Nice guitar sounds, and the voice again too cool .....yer stuff is short though, how come? |
|

|
| -1990-Gasoline and Son by wal4u | 5 years ago |
| I was just listening again.....Robben Ford...comes to mind | |
| -1990-Gasoline and Son by wal4u | 5 years ago |
Really good....Really well done and sung, real swingin'! I met Sonny at a recording studio in Toronto in...hmmm I think '92 he was brought to the studio by Corky Lang, who was the A&R guy for, I think it was Polygram, to play on a session I was an assistant engineer at. Anyway again super nice ..... |
|
| Bluesy Mixolydian II by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |

| Indy Blues jazz piano trio by ssstebbe | 5 years ago |
| I concur with 'grits, very bluey totally diggin' the keyboard part | |
| D 'n A (Black 'n White Stripes) by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Yeah, every thing I did back then had a Johnny vibe...Definitely the drums were influenced by (also the late) Richard Hughes, Johnny's drummer back in those days, that guy had a great power shuffle and that's where my brother got his great power shuffle......Bony's in for a re-tool. | |
| D 'n A (Black 'n White Stripes) by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| Funny, getting 5 stars on production....I'm not really looking for ratings. I just wanted people to hear where I came from, it's a nostalgia trip for me. This recording is 26 years old! Last year marked the 23rd anniversary of my younger Brother's death, he's been gone as long as he lived. This year he'll have been gone longer. He was a monster drummer. Unfortunately there was no quick and easy recording situations back then, I mean cassette 4 tracks weren't even out yet. They came out shortly after but cost $1500.00..and we were poor musicians....thanks for listening though!Maybe I'll put up some more stuff if I get some intrest in it..... |
|
| The 13 Question Method ( Chuck Berry cover) by wal4u | 5 years ago |
I've listened to a few of yer songs now, good singin', I really dig blues more than most stuff so I'm totally into this. I heard it first a month ago, I get lazy about leaving comments sometimes...it's good man. Again good vocals.... |
|
| Slide by Night II by HooDooBlues | 5 years ago |
| How about that Dallas? just hit 200 plays, oops iIguess this'll add one too... | |
| blue sun by ziti | 5 years ago |
I agree with Mr distortion up there, i does remind me of Jeff Beck, but also (as I think I've told you before) a little Robben Ford, not in the tone but some of the note choices |
|
| Somethin' ain't right by montyguitar | 5 years ago |
Really good man. Really diggin' the vocals and melody, the stereo back ups, clean licks everything. really like it. Sounds like there's even a B3 floatin around here and there....cool..... |
|
| Driftin'Blues (Charles Brown) by jipes | 5 years ago |
Nice singing, brighter guitar sound, I find, than some of your other songs, a little brighter so there is more detail to be heard. |
|
| Slide by Night II by HooDooBlues | 6 years ago |
| So this here thing was an acoustic number with a drum line, Dallas (the guy above Pete) put those tracks together. Dallas is a friend of mine. I added the rest of the instrumentation and had a brain storm...I had a sample of that blues guy talking, I only have him doing the one line, and I thought it might sound cool to throw it on to the intro as the acoustic slide comes in. Who it is? I don't know. Wish I did. BTW any other blues singers out there? Let me know.... | |
| Slide by Night II by HooDooBlues | 6 years ago |
| OK DFW, hope ya like it....... | |
