“Better Bring Candy” demo

It’s been a long while since I blogged. Life has been nutser than ever. I’ve been back and forth between Atlanta and Cincinnati, where my dad is sick with some evil. Also, been back and forth between Midtown and Sandy Springs jamming, practicing, and writing with Gabe Hinson (See below: still of man dead on drum throne.

You can click the arrow and hear a sweet lil’ demo of a song with a lot of potential – so  much that it’s gotten me a recording deal of sorts and I’m tracking at a largely unknown, $6M studio. Along with Timothy Jones and Paul Lipscomb, I’m gonna make some awesome happen. It’s pretty exciting to finally work with a legit crew and feel like a future somebody again 🙂

I’ll keep you updated, of course. Hope you enjoy what Stephen, Gabe, and I did here!

Help me pick songs to record in january!!!

Anyone know how to teach a bear harmonica?

Hello all and Merry Holiday!

Happy to announce I need your help. I’m going to the studio in January and really want am trying to figure out what songs to record.
I have some softer songs and some harder songs:
http://soundcloud.com/jakerathburn/get-outta-my-chevrolet – this is my best song, self-produced song and mastered. everything else is going be quieter (both volume-wise and in intensity).
This one is softer, but catchy and warm http://soundcloud.com/jakerathburn/ill-still-be-empty-scratch
In the middle is a song with much alt pop promise http://soundcloud.com/jakerathburn/better-bring-candy-w-awesome
on the “Good to wake up to” side is.. a new heart-felt song http://soundcloud.com/jakerathburn/scrawny-bird-2
This one has potential as more of a party song http://soundcloud.com/jakerathburn/pretty-fish
There are a few more on http://soundcloud.com/jakerathburn/sets that are mastered.. wondering if anything sticks out…
You guys are really cool and I would value your opinions!
Peace,
Jake and the Bear
