From The Archive May 16, 2021 – Carl, Tim, Marissa, Meghan, and Jen – “We Are Who We Are”
Thanks Marty, on this weeks From The Archives Of Something Blue I’ve got some Hiphop recorded at HairyLarryLand.
My son, Carl Heyl, plays bass in Hairy Larry and The Flying Hungarians. He’s an excellent musician so when he told me he and his friends wanted to record some vocal numbers at my studio I was all in. Five of them showed up, all vocalists, with one acoustic guitar and a few percussion instruments. So it’s vocals in the foreground all the time over minimalist backing. I really don’t know why more groups don’t do this. Concentrate on harmony vocals and keep the instrumentation sparse. It’s a great way to deliver the material with a clean sound.
Singing for the recordings were Carl Heyl, Tim Hose, Marissa Farmer, Meghan Allen, and Jen Hose, all from Arkansas and students at ASU. Recorded at my HairyLarryLand Studio on November 6, 2011, here they are now singing “We Are Who We Are”.
