Sounds Like
a guy singing, playing guitar and stomping his foot...hollerin' pickin' and stompin' into one microphone plugged into a prehistoric reel-to-reel.
No second takes, no overdubs, no multi-tracking, or any other form of trickery or funny stuff.
I'm Zak, I play guitar in a rockabilly band called THE ALLEY DUKES and (once in a blue moon or, more specifically, every Halloween) a psychobilly Misfits tribute band called THE MORIBUNDS. I suffer from permanent hearing damage inflicted upon me by old surf-instrumental band THE TREBLEMAKERS who are operational once again.
When I need a break from the noise I like to play blues.
I don't have a CD for sale at the moment, but you can get all the songs on this player on my soundclick page!
