Hello!
Because of the Covid-19 virus, we, like many other UK bands, have been unable to meet up and play together for the last eight months or so.
So we thought it might be fun to try and produce a track recorded remotely, with each band member playing and singing their parts over a click track and sending the resulting track stems to a single location to be added to a mix.
Easy!…………. we thought!
Well, as this was our very first attempt at such a project, it probably took longer than it should have, but never the less we finally managed to get the finished product completed .
We hope you enjoy our version of
IIIrd Tyme Out’s
“Cabin Creek Stone Mill Dam” (Lester Deaton)
For this track we are joined by our good friend and long time Down County Boy Mr.Dan Norton. Although four of the tracks went down “live” Dan’s Mandolin track was recorded remotely.
Cherokee Shuffle. This track was recorded at the home of the late Mr. Ken Harris, founder member of the DCB’s. With Mr. Dan Norton playing Mandolin.
