'Lucky 13'
(from the album: 'Take It to the Bridge' 2009)
This was recorded in 'Supersonix', (2nd picture above) Tony Hobden's first studio where we recorded all of the Gospel's album, two years previously. As was usually the case, the recording started out with keyboards, bass & drums. Bass & drums recorded together in the live room with keyboards recorded at the same time but in the control room.
There were very clear intentions with this track, firstly the basic structure is based around a 13 bar idea which has it's roots in the classic blues sequence but with a variation at the end taking it away from blues (chord wise) and up to 13 bars in length.
The second intention was to try and capture a 1970's / Billy Cobham / Spectrum type groove. I hope that we got some of the way with that and out of deep respect we did put the rhodes electric piano through a ring modulator for the solo!
Great solo by Cliff on guitar and great bass & drums as always!
Things always seem to go in threes for us and as you can hear Richie (the bass player) saying at the end of the track, this particular version is take 3. Each take was actually quite different and I might do an alternative mix of one of the others someday.
Drums & percussion: Steve Wilson
Bass: Richie Blake
Guitar: Cliff Moore
Rhodes: Paul Raymond
Alto saxophone: Paul Raymond
Engineer: Tony Hobden
Production & mix: Paul Raymond
