My Recorded Cover Songs – One Of The Boys
June 1st, 2010 . by Alexander Fisher
You can look at the cover songs I have recorded over the years and see what kind of music I grew up listening to. For one you would see that I was a big Mott The Hoople fan in the mid-seventies. I liked the Ian Hunter ballads, but I loved the Mick Ralphs rockers. When Mick left the band and formed Bad Company, “Mott” lost a little of its appeal to me.
I also remember this song being a turning point in the way I recorded my music too. I believe I had just gotten Sonar 7 Producer digital audio workstation software, and music production got so much easier for me. My copy of Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 had served me well, but it is was really dated. I had really relied mostly on my Fostex multi-track for most of the recording and mixing anyway. Now the Fostex is a bit of a relic, sitting beside my Yamaha 4-track on a a table. I still can use it occasionally, but it only fits into my recording methodology in minor ways now. It’s been a good dog…

The guitar is a Fender Stratocaster electric. The bass is a Rickenbacker 4001. The drums are Ludwig’s. I originally recorded the song on my Fostex VF-16 digital multi-track and processed it with Cakewalk Sonar 7 Producer and Sony Sound Forge. I thought I posted this before. Guess not.
