Bells Will Be Ringing

Our new song is on YouTube (link below) – now some details about the recording:

  1. the original version of the song is really short, so we extended it by doing two guitar solos at the end, first one by Harry and then one by Clint.
  2. our version has more of a New Orleans swing/shuffle feel to it, thanks to Leroy‘s drumming, Johnny‘s piano work and Jay’s ’50’s style bass arrangement. Johnny also did the string arrangement.
  3. the backup vocals were recorded by Jay and Leroy – they recorded their parts to multiple tracks and even switched parts on some of the takes, to make the backups sound “big” when all the tracks were combined.
  4. Clint NAILED the lead vocals in only a couple of takes. He’s always a perfectionist in the studio when it comes to his vocals, and he would keep doing additional takes all night if we let him!
  5. the song was recorded and mixed at Sound Arts Recording by the inimitable (look it up) Brian Baker in the fall of 2022.
Merry Christmas! Now go leave us a nice comment on Youtube if you like the song!
