The Chauffeur

The Chauffeur

I was telling my buddy Jim how doing these covers is like taking the song apart from the outside and then trying to put it back together around yourself -- it's harder than you might think at first and it really makes you appreciate the craftsmanship of the thing. Especially true of The Chauffeur (which, incidentally has one of the greatest music videos ever [warning: contains boobies])

This wasn't easy. I'm epically hung-over today. But I think it works!

Tech notes: I'm finding that the WAV files I'm mixing down end up with much hotter (louder) vocals than the Audacity files I start with. Can't figure it out. Will try to work around it. Am increasingly attempting to view technical limitations as touchpoints for creative adventure.
