Title: "Not Fade Away"
Post by: Awesoman on August 10, 2010, 09:45:54 PM
I recently recorded a cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away".  That's me on vocals and my friend Jim Nalty who did everything else.  Here it is:

Me being a rock'n'roll fanatic, I can relate to this stuff very good. Like your vocals very much. Kinda don't like the drums (programmed?) and backgroundvocals that much but the guitar is good. It's lacking a little bit of deepnes imo, but I'll listen to it again, it's fun

Thanks...yeah my friend didn't have a drumkit and was using one of those cheesy digital kits.  Had I produced the thing, I probably would have gone for a more "earthy" production.  Had a lot of fun with the vocals though.  

I've posted this before, but here is my cover of "Twenty Flight Rock":

I guess I like this even better (probably didn't see this the first time around). I'm not a fan of that slap-back on vocals but that's just my taste of course. Sounds very cool !!

You don't need a drum kit for Not Fade Away. The crickets used a cardboard box! ;-)
