Let’s get Seventies, mon!

Good groove – greasier than a Brooklyn pizza on a summer’s day.

One of my favorite T-Rex songs (another is “Raw Ramp” and the instrumental just following it. They go together so well, they merged ’em on the B-side of the single (the A-side, I fail to remember at the moment. Getting older sucks!). It might have been “Get It On”, but me nuh sure, mon. 🙂

One of the things I like best is that you play true to the “Bolan Tone.” Some female vox would have rounded out the tune nicely, but I suppose ya didn’t have access to ’em during the plandemic, huh? lol

I like the way you kill time, good sir!

Ha, thanks! Because of my tendinitis limiting how long I can play before I’m in pain, the covers I do are pretty much me playing a song for the first time, recording track by track as I did since I was a kid. I mainly just google lyrics and chords and press record. It’s just me jamming. Back when I played semi-professionally, I never did more than background vocals, and that was more than 20 years ago. Although I sometimes will play the song once through before a cover. I’ve heard these tunes so many times, I’m just going off of my memory and the chord chart.
