Suspenseful. At the beginning, there's no way to guess what this will turn into. Great "unfolding" of your ideas here!

A lovely tip of the hat to your Slavic roots I'd say. Very tasty and smooth.....maybe even a little sexy ! As always....top quality writing and production...!!

Another cool collaboration! Great job, guys. Love the playing all the way through. Who played bass?

Lavriko

Thanks, Rob! Trully: It was me who played bass, but not the whole track. Just 2 small parts and then I use a sampler to be more sharp in a groove.

I am so sorry for you and your family. Of course we will miss your presence and your wonderful sense of humor while you're away, but I send my most sincere sympathies and hope that spending this time with your Dad and your family will bring you solace and some sense of comfort. Best wishes.

I am in The Netherlands. It is so good to be with my Dad, Mom and sisters. My dad is very clear in his head. He still would love to contribute more. 'Not enough time'. His liver is failing. We can say anything, laugh, cry... it is all good.

Very clean (and rather rockin' too). Nice job! I'm not familiar with the X5D. I've got the X50.

Has interesting details in it Stevie! The bit of mixing is a nice touch!

Stevie Kuykendall

@ Rob....Thank you my California compadre! It's always good to read your kind words. The X5D Korg keyboard is a favorite of mine....Packed with phenomenal sounds!! I've had it for about 15 years. I don't think I could ever outgrow it.

Richard, thanks for taking time to listen to Abandon! That song wrote itself...It started with just a drum sequence I liked and I had no clue what would happen from moment to moment ! I guess that's the joy of music....it has a life all it's own....amen ....

Bill, nice to hear from you bro..! I like the descriptor you used... "fluid"..! That has long been my wish as a guitarist. Ever since I first heard Allan Holdsworth on a Jean Luc Ponty album in 1977 and was just floored by HIS fluidity.....sadly, though I sought that road...I never even got in the same neighborhood with him....but as long as I'm breathin...I'm a still tryin !!

Nice guitar blues, Steve! It is your habitat ))) where you don't need to switch your brain. Your soul will tell everything automatically ;-)

Thanks Slava...! The guitar I used on this one used to belong to the bass player for Buck Owens. An old "Epiphone Riviera" hollow body. I had never recorded with it before.....it surprised me on this song....!!

A Musicmaster bass? Haven't seen one of those in a while. I used to own a Mustang bass. Love those short-scale basses. Great playing, cool jazzy lick just before the slide comes in--and a very nice tone on that guitar!

Stevie Kuykendall
over 7 years ago

Yo Rob....I actually do have a Mustang bass in the exact same color! It's late 60s...and the Musicmaster is early 70s. They have a certain sweet warmth and "bigness" that belies their size. I'm glad you caught that outside lick...I put it in just for you. You know me, gotta have at least one twisted phrase in there..!
