This is a collaboration between Barnabus Rock and myself. In early January Trev asked me to read over some lyrics that he had written as a tribute to James Brown, I was so impressed that I aggreed to edit them a liitle bit and put some music to them and bring them to life. The song is a blues song, and although James Brown was essentially Soul, he was not averse to the odd bit of blues. The song was recorded as a collaboration between myself and my 2 sons, Daniel on the piano and Rowan on the electric lead guitar, Im pretty proud how they got into what was basically a jam session. Anyway you can hear it here.

Well I heard the news
It was on Christmas night
I heard the news
Old Jimmy Brown just died
When I heard that news
The tears welled up inside
And I cried
<musical bridge>
When they laid his body down
Georgia didn't make a sound
When they laid his body down
There was sadness all around
When they laid it down we said
Farewell Mr. Jimmy Brown
And I cried
I cried the day I heard
How he drove off in that car
I cried the day I heard
How he stashed all those funny cigars
I Cry today
Cos the godfather wont be around no more
<musical bridge>

Congrats Paul and sons ,
That was brilliant my first listen was wow you wanted me to do that .. :wink:
Your lads sound excellent ...
Well done Brady Boys :lol:
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Sounds great people, cool tribute :D As a very minor point of critique, the lead guitar seems to be slightly misplaced in the mix. As far as I can hear it doesn't seem to be the performance itself, it's just placed slightly off. I think. For the rest great show, all of you. 8)
Thanks guys,
Smoke, I hope he is.
Trev,

you can do it. When your hand has healed we'll do another collaboration when your ready, cheers mate.
