Once again, MusicTAP is proud to present a new track from singer/songwriter/musician/producer Steve Bottari, the highly-infectious “Amen Blues”
As Mr. Bottari puts it, “Producer/engineer and multi-instrumentalist, Wayne Hood, played the Rickenbacker 12-string. I knew when I was writing this song that it screamed for the amazing sound that only comes from that guitar . When an intro motif is played with a Ric 12-string, it seems to make a song more memorable.
In the history of rock music, there are certain sounds that are timeless for me and still stop me in my tracks. Stax soul is one; doo-wop is another. Undoubtedly, the sound of Roger McGuinn’s twelve string with The Byrds is the other. “Amen Blues” was inspired by this last sound ,albeit with a fresh coat of paint put on it.”
Indeed. Now sit back and let the jangle carry you off…
