Hammond Fried Eggs (feat. Dave Williams)

[GMaq]

Hi folks!

I've been AWOL for a bit and looks like y'all have been busy, I have a lot of catching up to do!

Here's something I finished last week, a funky soul organ instrumental written years ago with Booker T & the MG's in mind... My friends Dave Williams and Peter Cox stepped in and knocked it out of the park!

"Hammond Fried Eggs"

Dave Williams - Hammond Organ
Peter Cox - Bass Guitar
Glen MacArthur - Guitar, percussion
Avi L. Blaqpearl - Drums

Hey hey Glen,
this is a great little tune! Such a good flow and the consistent heat there. You fried them eggs darn well!
I suppose it's just me, but I find that the drums stick out oddly. Not the way they are played, but the way they are mixed in. The rest - including the percussion elements like the tambourine and congas - sounds homogenous. It might be the levels or the extreme positions of the crash cymbals.
Anyway, that didn't distract from a rocking song.

Nice jam! Sounds like it was a lot of fun to play and record.

I love the Black Pearl kit samples. Did you use the AVL Drumkits LV2, or Hydrogen?

[Rainmak3r]

Great track and sound as usual!

Hi Glen,

Very very nice, makes you wanna dance! The mix sounds killer!

For some critique I have to agree with Jeanette, the overhang from the drums sometimes gets a bit piercing. It is a very loud mix which I'm guessing exaggerates the issue. Especially one of the cymbals has a tone, which implies it can be filtered out. Though listening again I think the cymbals should be lowered just a bit.

But, where are the vocals? O.o

[turbidh20]

Great title You've got a lovely groove going on there!

I'm not competent enough to comment on the mix or production other than to say I thought there was too much stereo separation of the instruments but that's just my personal taste. I didn't have a problem with the drums though. Really enjoyed it, nicely played.
