Title: Don't Know What I'm Gonna Do - Henry * ANdy *Al
Post by: catfish on January 10, 2016, 08:47:53 PM
The Players:

ANdy Gupta - Bass
Henry Mittnacht - Guitars
Al Bacon - Keys & Vocals

there is a story here to be told... this tune was never meant to make it to MCS. vocals had a television in the background. i was just fooling around, banging out some fun... some 2 hours later there the basis for a song. i knew the vocals could never be duplicated.. i'd had help from a jar of the real, Mountain made, White,  that was by my side  during the whole ordeal.

when i played song back , it sounded really good, i thought, so i uploaded....

Henry, grabs his magic wand & sprinkles star dust all over it,,,

then , ANdy, comes by & proceeds to give us both a bass lesson by nailing the entire performance....

we all know Henry that has, fastly,  become a Master Mixer & this Mix really shows off, both his Mixing & Production skills....

be as it may, we sent the tune off to Blue Mountain Mastering in Nashville. They must have heard something they liked, we got tune back in our hands in 10 hours. Hat's off to B.B.M. as you'll soon hear,
they nailed, Henry's, Mix...

So grab you a cold one. sit back to hear excellant performance, by all involved.. DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO....

Al...



                                         DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO

OH, MY BABY, SHE DON'T LOVE ME NO MO'
I SAID,  MY BABY, SHE DON'T LOVE ME NO MO'
WOKE UP THIS MORNING - SHE DONE WALKED OUT
WALKED OUT  - OUT THA DOOR.

SO BABY, WHAT'S GONE WRONG WITH YOU - I JUST WANT TO KNOW – NOW BABY
WHAT THA HELL'S GONE WRONG WITH YOU
AH, YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE - YOU DON'T LOVE ME - NO MORE
LIKE YOU USED TO DO

YOU USED TO TELL ME THAT YOU LOVED ME
AND THAT YOU REALLY CARED FOR ME
YEA, YEA, YEA - YES YOU DID
BUT, NOW SUMPIN'S GONE WRONG
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU GONNA GO
GOTTA BELIEVE  ME

YEA, BABY , CAUSE I'M FEELING STRANGE
I'M JUST HOPING, BABY, THAT I—I DON'T GO INSANE
OH, BABY WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU
WHY YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY
WHY YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY

SOLO

YOU THINK I'M GOIN' - RUN & HIDE
I AIN'T GONNA DO IT, GIRL
I'M GOIN' UP – I'M GOIN' DOWN
I'M GOIN' ALL AROUND
BUT, I  AIN'T - AIN'T GONNA FIND YOU

DOUBLE SOLO

SAY YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE – WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO
SAY YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE – I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO
SAY YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE – I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO , BABY

Hi Al,

This turned out brilliantly, and a whole lot of fun!

Thanks for inviting me to play, it was really wonderful to be involved with the talents of Catfish and Henry!

Look forward to playing on one of your songs again!

Cheers

Henry,

sometimes idea's just drop from that  real, special place, other times can't buy an idea.
guess that's real life.

thanks for everything, another job well done.

Oh Yeah! This is taken from the 'Cat sessions' for sure.

Lively and authentic (as is possible over the internet) and it sounds like you guys were having a hoot of a time.

Enjoyed my listen and I would knock off work early to see you guys play live at the 'Blues Club'.

Excellent!

Downloaded too! :)

You ALL did a very good job here, and I agree, Henry has really become a very good mixing guy. The best mastering engineer cannot make a bad mix sound good, and this mix does sound very good to me.

Thanks for the WAV version! :)

like i tell all, i'm still learning how to make decent tracks.  maybe, i'll never get past that. seems i always get stuck, there...

having talented individuals along side makes all the effort, all the more worthwhile. i'm having so much fun!
&, all that, fills many hours with that something that i just have to do...

take care,,,
