Another flava...Vegas, baby!

Posted about 1 year ago

Artist:

Celia Chavez
Album:

Sailor's Daughter
Track:
- PLAY
- QUEUE
Vegas

Hi Moggers,Thanks for the friendly response to my last post of original music! Here's another song from the record: Vegas. A little upbeat than the last track I posted...This time you'll hear dueling guitars by Ann Klein, who opens the track with her driving rhythm guitar; and James Maddock, who told me he was channeling Paul Kossoff from Free in the solo section. The funny thing is, the answer to question that opens the song is, no, I've never been to Vegas. The catalyst for the song was catching the cover art of the Crystal Method's CD (also titled Vegas) out of the corner of my eye. Somehow this inspired the lyric and the song practically wrote itself shortly thereafter.Let me know what you think!cheers,Celia

BecauseYouAreHere says One of my fav's! You got everything right on this one. P.S. I have that Crystal Method album and have spent an hour at the Vegas airport waiting for a red-eye connection...does that count for anything?

dermahrk says Another tasty treat, that one. Might I suggest that you post the lyrics along with your original material? It just helps.

mousetrap says Cool tune! Wow -- have there been any other songs that name-check Elvis over a 5/4 meter? I have to wonder. Love the shifts in time signature from 5/4 in the verses to 6/4 in the chorus, solos, etc. -- it's handled exactly the right way, meaning that it's seamless and doesn't call attention to itself, but simply gives the song a unique flavor and a hint of urgency. Nicely recorded and with talented players, obviously. I look forward to hearing more!
