Teflon Bullet
A couple of days ago, I wrote about my new Diddly Jo with Bass...
Well here's a new recording with it: Teflon Bullet (96 kps stereo mp3)
This is a song I wrote back when four NY cops brutally murdered Amidou Diallo in the lobby of his apartment building.
At about the same time, some Texas rednecks proved that Texas needs the death penalty by dragging James Byrd to death behind their pickup truck. The song originally had a verse about that incident too, but I felt it detracted too much from the focus of the song, so I took that verse out.
Except for the backing vocals, this recording is a live, single take, single microphone recording of voice, diddley jo, and foot-operated mini-lagerphone. I'm not entirely happy with the mix (voice is too quiet), but with this kind of recording, there's no way to fix it.
Still, it shows where I'm going with the live show these days.
