Thank you Barb, that is very nice of you to say. I actually did all the music myself. I used prerecorded drum loops because I don't do drums well, and a few little accent loops, but the majority of the keys and guitars were all done on my keyboard (it does great guitar sounds). Although, I didn't realize while I was recording it that I learned the song out of my range! I'm a natural tenor. Ugh. So it was really difficult for me to sing. I may go back and rerecord the whole thing but it took me so long to get what I have there I may not. I don't know. LOL! I had fun doing it and I'm very proud of the mix. I'd love to hear Stevie do Castaway in a simillar arrangement. It's such a great song. It really deserves to be brought out into the light.

Everyone else did such great jobs on all of their songs. I'm still downloading the rest but I've loved what I've heard. What a great project this was. Thank you so much for letting me be part of it.

Hi! Thank you so very much, I really appreciate that! Well, yes and no, it was live, but not with a band....It was recorded with studio tracks, at a tribute show I performed this past Summer, that was actually the "soundcheck", and it came out kinda cool, so I liked it, LOL! Plus I ADORE that song, and love to sing it.
I really appreciate your kind words, so very much!~Barbara

I'm diggin that Stand Back.
The 'band' part is mostly dead on, which makes me happy.

EDIT: Wow, that's Sharon at the end of it.

I'm hopefully going to post my Dreams tonight.

The "Stand Back" track is a karaoke CD+G track, some of them are better than others, I believe SB is a Sound Choice disk, which the quality of the studio musicians and arrangements of the copies of the original versions are much better, the cheapie CD+G tracks are sometimes quite cheesy, and cut off the ends, etc.
Sharon is at the end of what?

confused...LOL.
Looking forward to hearing your version of "Dreams", Alex!

I have to chime in and say how much I love this version too...HSML is one of my favorite Stevie songs and your version rocks!

[email protected] · #52 09-13-2005, 01:07 AM

Thank you SO very much, Jason. I miss hearing her do that when she performs live, it is such a powerful and rocking song!
I also love all of your songs, on the GDProject! I played them for my Mom, she was very impressed (she has heard some very bad renditions of Stevie's songs, from other people, that I have known/heard, over the years, LOL!) as was I ... impressed with your vocals and arrangements.
Thanks again

Let's do this again sometime!

Barbara

Alex, this was recorded to a CDG that was GOOD to begin with, but HEAVILY Improved Upon with recording software adding musical instruments. My husband and I own a recording studio, and ALL my discs are modified for my solo shows, so you REALLY get that Concert sound versus just the "regular track".
There is nothing "karaoke" about my shows, no breaks in between songs, as all the tracks (when doing solo shows) are segued into one another, professionally and seamlessly.

And YES, that IS Sharon at the end of it, amazing what quality equipment and modern technology can do for a "karaoke disc".

I have been recording as of late, and have 14 OTHER and varied artists songs done.

Thanks for the compliment!

I just listened and everyone sounds so good! I love stand back. And when I started to listen to Angel, it sounded so good that for a minute I thought I was being fooled by a real stevie demo!

tynan88 · #55 09-15-2005, 09:16 AM

This is amazing...I think Stevie needs and would love a copy of this!

You are all more amazing and talented than me that's for sure!

[email protected] · #56 09-15-2005, 09:36 AM

Stephanie, WOW, thank you so very much what a wonderful compliement, I truly appreciate that

"Angel" is a very fun song to sing, and I am so glad Jason added it, thank you, Jason

Wow, thank you very much. Yeah, a collaboration would be awesome. Maybe if I can get my crap together we could do a duet of Nightbird or Two Kinds of Love. And maybe I could even record them in a key that we could both sing. LOL! I'll be in touch.
