Recording: Colin Bullock

A couple weeks ago I played my first gig with a talented chap named Colin Bullock, a singer-songwriter and guitar-player from Australia living here in Vancouver. Just days before the show he asked if I would be able to throw down a bass track on a new single so he could release it at the show with the launch of a new music video.

I was happy to oblige, so I recorded a bunch of solid passes with some different ideas here at the home studio. Not wanting to make any executive decisions without the artist present, I sent all nine tracks so Colin and his mixing engineer could figure out what they wanted to use. Listening to the finished track, I don't really know if the bass part is a conglomeration of a bunch of takes or if they just took one they liked and slapped it on, but it seems to work either way.

We have another gig coming up at the Railway Club here in Vancouver on Wednesday, December 30, so I hope to see you there. In the meantime, keep up to date by checking out Colin's Facebook Fan Page.

And here's the video for "Something Worth Smiling For"...
