"GAMES PEOPLE PLAY"

 I recorded a take on King Curits's version of Joe South's "Games People Play" years ago. It was when I first started recording and was pretty rough, so I decided to do a cleaner take on it.

"MIDNIGHT IN HARLEM"

 Big thanks to my bandmate Celeste taking over singing on this beloved Tedeschi Trucks Band song.

Playing with Myself: “Little Martha > Blue Sky”

It was time to jam on two of my favorite songs From my favorite album, Eat A Peach. I didn’t want to ruin “Blue Sky” with my inconsistent vocals, and I wanted to build up “Little Martha” more than a duet. So I took inspiration from the arrangement the Allman Brothers did starting in 2009 of mashing the 2 songs into a single instrumental. It works beautifully since they are both E/A jams.

Playing with Myself: "Feel So Bad"

Another funky old nugget, Chuck Willis's "Feel So Bad"

Playing with Myself: "Memphis Soul Stew"

King Curtis's "Memphis Soul Stew" kicks off his legendary live album from the Fillmore West. I decided to borrow the recipe, with a few substitutions.

Playing with Myself: "Dreams"

Several years ago I attempted an acoustic cover of my favorite song, the Allman Brothers Band's epic meditation "Dreams". It was pretty messy - bad mics, out of tune piano, bad rhythm, etc. I tried it again. Not sure if it's any better, but at least it's sonically cleaner.

Playing with Myself: "Keep on Growing"

I Revisited another tune, Derek & the Dominos' "Keep on Growing"
