When we started Wolfbrand Band<\/strong><\/em>, we decided to make a “Demo”<\/strong> tape<\/em> that we could give to prospective employers (i.e. Club Owners, Organizations, etc.)…. We recorded Five (5) songs<\/em> in November of 1973<\/strong>….. Now, we had no funds to go into an actual recording studio<\/em>, nor did we have a mixer<\/em> or any of the fancy stuff<\/em> you would find in a recording studio<\/em>….. All we had was Roger’s<\/strong><\/em> Panasonic Reel-to-reel<\/strong> and my newly assembled HeathKit<\/strong> cassette deck<\/em>…. We recorded the basic rhythm tracks<\/em> in a huge house in N.W. OKC<\/em> (Tom’s<\/strong> house<\/em>, I think) on the R-to-R<\/strong>…. There was a full size grand Piano<\/strong> in the living room (I guess you would call it that – there were so many rooms)…. We set-up in two separate rooms<\/em> – Drums, Bass, and Piano<\/strong> in one, and Guitars and Harp<\/strong> in the other to get as much stereo separation<\/em> as we could….<\/p>\n

We then returned to Roger’s<\/strong><\/em> small above a garage Apartment<\/em> to do the Vocals<\/strong> and Instrument<\/strong> overdubs….. Since we didn’t have a mixer<\/em>, the overdubs were added and mixed in real time<\/em> back and forth between the two recorders<\/em>…. I’m amazed that they turned out as good in quality as they did…. Tell me what you think<\/em>….<\/p>\n

Here’s two of them… There’s about Ten Seconds or so<\/em> of silence<\/em> at the beginning of each of them – Just keep listening, the songs are there<\/em>…. The first one is another Neil Young<\/strong><\/em> song, “Are You Ready for the Country<\/a>” and the second one is a Jethro Tull<\/strong><\/em> song off their first album, which was all Blues<\/strong>…. “Someday the Sun won’t shine for You<\/a>“…. Give ’em a listen….. For more info on WBB<\/strong><\/em> check out the Archives #1<\/strong><\/em> Post….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
