I’ve been working on a new song called Fine Red Wine. It’s basically a love song, and I came up with the idea for it last fall shortly after Jeannie and I celebrated our Twennyversery. So the lyrics are heartfelt and fairly straightforward. For the music, I wanted something accessible, soulful and bluesy. It has a neat little intro with a descending figure in the bass under a constant onstanato, which creates some interesting chords. After that it it’s basically a classic R&B kind of groove and the changes are all based on the 7th chords. It’s a fun number to play, and I put a full horn section arrangement on it. Also some cool two-note figures in the bass.<\/p>\n
I started working on it in the early spring. It’s been slow going due to other commitments, but it’s almost ready now. I got the vocals in a couple of weeks ago, and this last weekend I spent tracking the horns. That was a lot of fun. Basically all that’s left is to lay down the solo, then I’ll be ready to share.<\/p>\n
This is the fourth song in my current recording project, and when It’s done I’ll have a logical album side or virtual EP. I have another set of tunes ready to start in on, but I want to take a break, so I’ll probably mix and master this set before starting in on the next batch. So watch this space. Meanwhile, here are the lyrics.<\/p>\n

\nWe’ve been together for a long time
\nWe’ve had our ups and down
\nRiver flows like fine red wine<\/p>\n
\nSharing tequila and partying on
\nWell times they sure have changed
\nBut I believe the best is still to come<\/p>\n
\nWheel turning round and round<\/p>\n
\nThe look in your eyes just said it all
\nI knew you love me too
\nYou are so beautiful<\/p>\n
\nRiver flows like fine red wine
\nWe’ll have our ups and down
\nLet’s be together for a long time<\/p>\n
\nLet’s go get Mexican food<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
