Crazy Love

The song is originally by Van Morrison. This one was recorded a while back in Gross' studio 85 in Montreal. The guitarist is Adrian "B" Gross, and it's me doing vocals. This one is a pretty decent quality recording and sounds good as a tune. Get it HERE.

Red House

This is based on the Jimi Hendrix song. It was played and recorded in David Gross' basement... also known as "Studio Loco" (just what I called it). In the "studes" that day, there was Richie Piasetsky (drums), Adrian Gross (lead guitar) and a Ben Wright (rhythm guitar), and me (David) singing. This one is pretty fun to listen to, and was great to play. Get it HERE.

One More Cup of Coffee

Bob Dylan cover, from Desire. I must say the Dylan version is much better. I think my cover needs drums. My cover is also way way too fast, and I'm too lazy to re-record it. Darn. Get the song HERE

Graceland

Paul Simon's "Graceland". This is an awesome song, one of my personal favorites (of singles and albums... not to mention artists). The recording was done in collaboration with Richie Piasetsky on guitar. Richie goes to Queens University in Kingston and is an amazing musician (guitar, drums, piano, kazoo). The song is slightly different than the original, but not horrible to listen to :) Get it HERE.

Sweet Thing

This is a Van Morrison cover from Astral Weeks (1968). This version has guitar and vocals and a really uneventful bass line (played on a guitar). It was one of the first songs I wanted to do, because of the challenge in terms of singing like Van. I think it could be a lot better, but as it stands I dont think it is that bad. :)
Get it HERE.

You Ain't Goin' Nowhere

This one is a Dylan song. This is one of the first songs I recorded. It has a strange harmony of a higher voice with a lower voice. I think it sounds pretty nice altogether. Get it HERE.

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

Beatles' cover. This one is a disgrace (in my opinion). Some of the vocals are flat, and the ending is just horrible... If you still want it, get it HERE.

Ain't No More Cane

I heard this song on The Basement Tapes, recorded by The Band and Bob Dylan. It is a "traditional prison song" and my version sounds quite like the one found on the Basement Tapes. The song has some harmonies created by multitrack recording, and also harmonica at the end of the song. This one is probably my favorite so far. Get it HERE.
