Exclusive BLOODSHOT BILL song!
Round about 13 years ago I had that dreaded notion of doing "the lead singer solo album." Basic plan was a bunch of covers with various friends backing me up.
I knocked out a couple songs with pals, The Othermen, and one with ol' Columbus cohort, Karen Graves. You can hear those here. That's about as far as it got... for now.
After asking neo-trash-abilly-cranker, Bloodshot Bill, if he'd make a backing track for a song, he ended up sending me an awesome, full version with him singing, and it was too good to slap on a harmony vocal or some such shit. I tripped over it recently, Bill said it'd be fine to post it, so there you go. It's a slinky, slow-burn, midnight walker with some shadowy synth or something creepin' in towards the end....
The original song, "The Storm," is a great B-side on the Rolling Stones' 1994 hit, "Love is Strong." I believe the song goes back to the Stones' '70s heydaze, and it almost sounds like it might've been a demo older than 1994. But who knows...
Upon asking Bill if he had any recollection of making this track, he said, "I remember not knowing the song before u mentioned it…was a cool challenge to do. Was years ago..don't remember much else!"
Thanks again to Bloodshot Bill for the track, and letting me post it lo these many years later.
