TRACK BY TRACK
Meet Every Song
01
L.A. Ditty
A peppy number highlighting an Ovation acoustic guitar and Steinway Grand piano sharing dual lead duties. The interplay between these two makes this song special.
2:35
02
Solid Ground
A dedicated heavy-metal rocker built on a fabulous riff, keying off a massively heavy drum line. Once the core riff is established, a corresponding chorus groove forces the tune to a new level.
3:12
03
First World Blues
A different take on the 12-bar blues. Very open, with a nylon-stringed Alhambra 5P classical guitar playing lead, augmented by an echo-heavy electric. Kind of a Hot Tuna vibe.
3:10
04
Seabreeze Blue
Very open and spacey. Uses some synth pads and strings in a somewhat alternative arrangement. Features experimental guitar lead work throughout.
3:25
05
String Soul
The band aimed toward a ’70s rhythm and blues feel, with liberal use of horns in the mix. The horns take the lead in this one, with guitars enhancing the beat.
4:22
06
Hear Again
Multiple guitars drive the beat in this acoustic/electric number. Many interactions between lead, rhythm and bass players. Pure Stratocaster-based lead.
3:15
07
Molly Madness
Back to basics — electric guitar, bass and drums. Using the neck pickup on a Les Paul Standard. Some great interaction between bass and drums throughout.
3:12
08
Twice as Much
A lot going here. Two drummers, piano and Hammond B3 all adding to the mix. A great breakdown with a clear expressive lead guitar.
4:05
09
Mexican Journey
Another prominent use of horns in this rocker. Originally created in the ’90s and now fully updated. The horns take over completely in the final few bars.
3:20
10
Starburst Tragedy
A great tune using a unique and memorable chord structure, as well as liberal use of the Mellotron — an instrument popular in 1970s prog bands.
