This Is This

Readers voice: “Tell me you didn’t just go old school.”

I’m afraid I can’t do that, because we’re busting out the Creedence.

Born On The Bayou is one of those songs that sounds determined, relentless, grooved, edgy, nothing fancy, sexy as hell and that’s all it is.

More cowbell? Right there in the second verse.

It’s the sound of summer and the way it starts up is the killer.

Two bars of this, two bars of a little something else, building up until you got yourself a song. Count it off with me.

Feedback.

Guitar riff.

Drums and bass.

Handclaps.

Fade it down some

…and sing it.

…my poppa said “Son, don’t let the man git’ ya and do what he done to me.”

Listen: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born On The Bayou

“The TV and everything goes through the sound system. You can’t listen to the stereo and watch TV at the same time. If you want to listen to actual CDs, you have to turn the TV off. Except we don’t have CDs. Dock the i-pod into the TV and run that through the stereo.”
