Hey everyone/and hopefully NEW Barnshaker Fans!!
We were really conflicted about putting a cover on our new album. First of all if you do it right you don't get a dime from it, that's why our CD is only $8.61, because we chose the right thing to do and not collect any royalties for the song.
The song we chose was off of one of my all-time favorite albums by Bruce Springsteen! It is called Meeting Across The River. That song ,although not probably one of the biggest songs from that Cd obviously moved me tremendously. Clarence's moody sax intro, to Roy Bittan's beautiful piano passage always gets me.
Well we re-worked that song, so it is probably not recognizable to the average fan, so I think we can call it our own. But the crazy thing is, people are digging our version. We have had a lot of positive feedback from that and that makes me feel good. It is the most stripped down songs on our album. It is simply, my guitar, a squeeze box, masterfully played by Brother Cleve an upright bass and some brush drums also done by my foil Ed Reimer, who is so talented it is beyond belief!
Check out our version on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon mp3 or Google Play!
As a matter of fact check out the whole album, we are getting a lot of positive feedback from Jango radio stations associated with the Zac Brown Band, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Darius Rucker and Keith Urban along with Tom Petty and Elvis Costello!! Go figure..
Anyway, check it out when you have a moment, and we'd greatly appreciate your support by buying the album or at least a few songs!!
Thanks,
