The Four Sons - Blazing Son

I finally got a Bandcamp site for my music. And I finally got a band name too! 'The Four Sons'

I know there's only one of me... but the album, like most of my music, is heavily inspired by the 60s sound. And I've always loved all of those old bands with names like The Four Tops and The Four Seasons so I figured I'd go with something like that. Besides, just using my screenname (Shanny Boy seemed a little confusing. It sounds more like a rapper's nickname than a rock band/musician.

Then there's the whole "virtual band" aspect. The Blazing Son album was written as a concept album about a band of fictional characters in a fantasy world, so why not just make them the band?

New Demo: Destiny Song

This is just an acoustic demo and the sound quality isn't studio perfect. It's just me with an acoustic playing the rhythm and singing the lead vocals.

My Cover of 'Death Of A Clown' by The Kinks

I've got one more cover song to post today. This one is 'Death Of A Clown' by The Kinks. I know the Kinks have seen a kind f resurgence lately, but even with that I think they're one of the most underrated rock bands of all time.

I've always loved this song, even though it's not one of my favorite Kinks songs.

If you listen carefully you can start to hear my voice about to go out half-way through the song. I was really shouting on this one.

My 'Child Of Nature' Cover

'Child Of Nature' was a song that John Lennon wrote during the White Album sessions. The band ultimately decided to scratch it. Lennon eventually re-recorded it with new lyrics and it became 'Jealous Guy'.

This is my cover of the original 'Child Of Nature'. I know it's not as good as Lennon's version, but I still like it.

My 'Bad To Me' Cover

'Bad To Me' was a song that John Lennon wrote for Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas. Their version is ok, Lennon's is better.

This version is me. I'm playing the composition a little differently. I don't have a camera so I had to make a video of the lyrics instead.
