Buc McMaster Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Took the wife's car to the grocery this morning and she had a copy of a demo CD I did back in 2001 in the player. I had completely forgotten this recording.........funny how the mind lets go of things over the years. Anyway, there was this tune, Love's Not Blind on this CD that I don't remember writing and have no idea what acoustic guitar I owned at the time.........it might have been a Taylor 800 series of some sort......heck it was 16 years ago.......I can't remember! But I do like the tune and intend to work it back up and add it to the set list. Love's Not Blind Buc/late 90s maybe......? Love's not blind, it just can't bear to look As you walk away with the heart you took I close my eyes 'cause I don't want to see you go But my just wishin' it baby ain't gonna make it so We'll be friends, that's what every lover says It's sometimes hard to see that true love never ends Your eyes still smile on me like the sun peekin' through a rain But you been too long gone for me to still feel this way Love's not blind True love's got time Even now I wonder if I ever really knew Exactly what it was I was s'pose to do Looking back I see that light I found in your eyes The one that set me free and made me realize....... Called the CD ohseventhirtyfiftytwo, pensacola and it originally had a jacket with a photo of me at about two years old munching on a chicken leg. Dedicated to mom & dad, of course..........

E-minor7 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Very good stuff - listening to Front Page while writing. Lots of young energy in that vocal. Yes, do bring Love's Not Blind back inside the repertoire. Timeless ^ and miraculous how songs just stay there and can be re-launched, , , though they might have fallen behind the dresser and forgotten for years.

flatbaroque Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Nice to find some forgotten gems.Well worth polishing off! Some tunes are transient, others just wander off only to reappear for new ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Nice tunes. Rockin' voice. That's some good stuff, better than most of what gets air-time today. I'd buy that CD in heartbeat. [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw1300 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I see you recorded at Sugar Hill Studios! I was there last year to record a song with some buddies - great place with a ton of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yep - world famous SugarHill............a retro, vintage vibe to the whole place.......with quite a history. We did these tracks in Studio B.....the Stones, BJ Thomas, Archie Bell and many other 'A' listers of yesterday worked there. Guess today's 'A' listers as well, but I'm out of the loop. For the 7-track session I somehow managed to get a local rhythm section of some renown (not on this track though!). Six years later they were the rhythm section for my last band..........ha! took me that long to convince them! This is a track they "rhythm-ed" on, Tom E. Lee. This tune can really be rocked when playing full-bore electric. Thanks for the kind words.........thanks for listening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestionMark Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Enjoyed the song. Voice, lyrics, and accompaniment were AA/👍! QM aka Jazzman Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfish Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I like all the songs Buc, was this a CD you would send to people to see if they would produce you? After listening to your songs I wanted to listen to some Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe stuff and I'm not sure why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 ......was this a CD you would send to people to see if they would produce you? No sir. Didn't then and still don't have any desire for the spotlight beyond a local stage. This was made to shop the songs, not the performance. Nothing came of this effort, of course, but one of the tunes on a later recording was entertained by Sheryl Crow for a time...........nothing came of that either. C'est la vie!
