This is a blues version of the Comeaux & Smith tune “Good Morning, Coffee” that was recorded right along side the country version about a month ago. I should’ve been able to post this back when i posted the other one, but i had an uncooperative external hard drive. After some serious hair-pulling, and a little help from matt smith, i happened to put off finishing this project until tonight.
So, the very belated but still bluesy Good Morning, Coffee… again.
David - Electric guitars, vocals
Jon - Drums, Bass guitar
This is the first full-scale, all original blues tune that I have ever recorded with Jon. We’ve jammed in the blues style for hours at a time, literally, and have been playing blues scales and solos for all of the 39856 years we’ve been on the guitar, but nary a real song. Jon has done several blues songs on his own, like the rockin vintage Crawlin King Snake Blues and the Walkin Blues and a few others. This song can only attempt to have the rawness and soul of jon’s solo efforts, but I will venture to say, however, that the quality of this recording is light years ahead of any electric or rock recording either of us have ever done.
Looking forward to comments and criticisms. The GMC’s are the only two songs in which i can actually stand to listen to my own vocals, and i kind of like them.
I love both versions of the song; in fact, I was on a retreat over the weekend and couldn’t get the country version out of my head.
It’s fabulous. I can hear all the new solos and extra tweaks and hits. Both of you, nice work. And Kevin, I bet this amazes you as much as it does me.
Thanks David and Jon,
Ya’ll are quite a duo.
Wow…sounds great, I love it. I can’t decide which version I like better. When I listen to one, I say okay this is it, until I listen to the other…uggg.
What’s going to be the next version? Rap? Grunge? New Age or maybe easy listening…hmm.
Kevin
New Age! WOW! Gotta contact Yanni and Enya and see if they’ll do a duet of Good Morning Coffee. Talk about Mellow Joy! Good the last drop! Smooth. Decaf.
Dave, I spoke with Kenny Thibodeaux. Have you got 10-15 songs you could put on a CD for sale yet?
sale? no. personal keepsake? yes.
if i dropped out of school/work for a semester or three i could maybe have enough time to work on my material. care to fund that, o patron of the arts?
p.s. why is this convo in the comments of my website…
Dave, I love the song - and I’m glad I could offer you the “small assistance” - I can really tell the difference after your little demonstration this past weekend.
I’m writing about it now.
