Before You Were Born
Slowly getting there with the masters. Here's a new version of Before You Were Born - much bassier and changed some of the effects and improved drums.
Hope you like this - my only reggae track so far!
Before You Were Born
I'll gradually add the other masters as they come along. Hoping to release the album here in the UK in April - fingers crossed.
I've also added first mastered versions of Easy, Rain Rain It Poureth Down and Through The Fingers of Your Hand.

This is one of the best tracks you've ever done, Chandra. I love everything about it!
Reggae is a hard genre to pull off but this track is quite authentic while still maintaining
an original twist. The vocals are perfectly quirky for this kind of song and the wah-wah electric guitar is surprising and right on target. The band is really working as a cohesive unit. Kudos to you and your vision as a singer songwriter. Your creative engine is firing on all cylinders. Is there anything you can't do?? What's next? Punk rock? ;-)

Thanks guys - I'm very lucky to have Richard Bloom (my producer) on board as he's a really good guitarist and all round musician and engineer. He does the guitar solo work (I compose all the rhythm and picking parts). Also, he is very good at understanding what I mean when I talk to him about the effects and sounds I want - we spend hours searching and playing till we get it right and programming drums together. Being a drummer myself is brilliant as I know exactly what I want plus Richard has played in many bands. I'm such a perfectionist - he says he's never worked with anyone as picky as me but I think it means you end up with the result you want. I can't play lead guitar so he is a real blessing. He has some music up here too with his band Rival Attraction Rival Attraction
The other key band member is Paddy Uglow He has some tracks up here too and plays keyboards on most of my songs and also fiddle on The Rain song and penny whistles on The Healing Tree plus great backing vocals on Trust Me. Several other people have collaborated on various tracks playing bass, drums, backing vocals etc. Even African tribal musicians from Senegal on The Healing Tree recorded at a festival I was at a couple of years ago!
What I'm saying is, that although I write the songs and have the vision for them, without these great guys I wouldn't be able to produce them! It's a great joint effort and I'm forever grateful to everyone involved and especially to the people here who have taken the time to listen and comment because otherwise you just feel on your own with it all from the point of view of an audience as we don't perform live as a band - just me and Paddy. A million thanks.

Thanks Steve - hilarious really but true. It was all so long ago - it's extraordinary how stuff from the distant past steals back into a song!
