The lady single in Rattlin Bone, Karena Kelly, has a second single out on 12th December. Again featuring yours truly on bass, its my first attempt at Northern Soul. Recorded with my '63 Precision. Also features some top quality musicians (trombone and trumpet- Danny Flam, saxes- Ron Bertolet, Guitar and Organ- Ed Brayshaw) and produced by RB front man Wily Bo Walker.

As a reminder of Karena's first single, the smooth soulful Carol King-esque Midnight Walk, see link below (I played a fretless '73 PJ - now owned by BC's Mr Bassman, Keith - on this one)

Like it like it like it - - - Great solid old P sound :) although IMO the bass is there at the roots but fizzles out/gets a bit muffled on the walks - to my ears on my PC with above average speakers (Creative T100). Have to agree with Luke ^^^ could have been mixed better.

I know I know everyone's a F'ing sound engineer :) :) Terrific1st attempt, you nailed that Northern Soul groove, (played it twice before commenting), the Midnight Walk bass comes through much clearer.

Cheerz, John

Wasn't mixed by me! Otherwise it would have been higher :)

Sorry, that came across as negative- I love it- and the second song too. But in my listening to northern soul and other soul it borrows of the motown trick of sticking the P bass sound really high in the mix. but nice playing- it's just been mixed more like a pop song- nice bit on the 'come on love me, come love me' bit :)

Wigan Casino ? What you mean you've gone all 32 inch bags, with Segs on your brogues, and wearing a 'dancing vest' ? :)

I remember some of the older lads round our way used to go back in its early 1970s heydays. I use to see their patches and beer towel kecks etc. They used to write cryptic graffiti words on the wall such as '[i]Cloud 9' [/i]or[i] Temptations' [/i]? :) Which my young brain didnt understand. :)
