Look Into the Mirror, Dude


Friends, so inspired was I by "Gunfight" that I recorded a cover version of it today. Since we all composed it together, my interpretation of it will only be my own. I may have inadvertently veered away from your contribution to the song, or I may have inadvertently jettisoned some aspect you view important. Think of my version as a mirror on ourselves, one person's reflection of what he hears in front of him.

Read more about the song here, and then listen to it here.

It would be great if this were the first in a long tradition of Barb Tide covers.

I guess we were really saving up because together the 20 tracks are over 2 hours and 26 minutes. If you're thinking, "that's way too much for one sitting", no worries. Try nibbling on Toward the Moonlight, The Lair's Train, Squandered the Lead, or I Know You (Took My Bike) to start with. They're tasty...

As long as there has been Barbtide, there have been mysteries, such as: "Who's playing that harmonica?" or "Who's funky enough to be responsible for that bass line?". Thanks to this handy instrumentation listing (which is also linked from within the metadata of each file) we'll never wonder again. Hallelujah, yahweh.
