I've always wanted to record an album but never really had the time to get around and do it. I've also always wanted to "get it just right". So, rather than wait till I'm 80 and have the time and equipment etc... I've decided to record one song in one take every Tuesday night. To start the ball rolling I've recorded "Jesus Gonna Be Here" by Tom Waits. It's by no means perfect and I suspect that many of the songs I'll re-record and re-record until I get the "one take" I like, the guitar solo in this song is particularly sloppy, and some of the singing... anyway, hopefully by the end of the year I'll have a dozen songs or so that I like. So think of it as kind of like eavsdropping on a band rehersal. You can download the song from the link below if you like.

hey great track!! nice to know Im not the only one who fiddles around with the guitar and and recording software:) If you ever need a drummer and wanna do some busking, im sure jetstar have some cheap flights to melb:)
Hey thanks for listening urban monk! I thought no one would download it. The recording software I used was an old copy of n-track, the guitar was just through a 5 watt Vox practise amp, which has batteries and perfect for busking. Mmmm tempting to fly over and busk... I'm not sure we'd make enough to cover the flight though ;) Thanks for the offer though!
