damn right we got the blues

today the esteemed mr. marino and i convened at his lovely abode in the private drive of west newbury to record three songs. two currently grace our facebook and inspire an album project that we will likely never complete.

"damn right we got the blues" was inspired by the fact that one of today's output vehicles was a basic blues jam. dave played the rhythm guitar, while i added maracas, tambourine, and the guitar solo. unable to decide on just one set of lyrics, we recorded both "when the levee breaks" and "been down so long." dave sang the former, while i exercised my pipes on the latter. they came out decently.

we also debated "ice cream man" and "crossroads," but neither came to fruition. but since we had this basic 12-bar blues instrumental recorded, we decided to put it to use. we may or may not record about 20 sets of famous and unattributable blues lyrics to the same instrumental track, post them all to itunes, and pray to make a hefty profit. let's hope so.
