Changes to Song Choices #2

Recording for the CD starts this weekend and i've decided to make the album not just Johnny Cash songs. I have recently been listening to Sam Cooke and really like the song Wonderful World so i'm going to do a version of that as the opening track.

I've also recently learnt how to play my own unique version of Roxanne by The Police which I played at an open mic session 6.3.12 and it was really well received so i'm going to record that.

I will do the version of Ring Of Fire that i've been playing a lot recently as well because it's a personal favourite of mine to play.

I'm also going to add one of my own compositions to the CD. The song is called 'I Never Saw Her Again' and I wrote it a few months ago. I played it at Cambridge Folk Club on 2.3.12 and it went down quite well so that's going to go on the CD.

As for the order of songs the opening track is going to be Wonderful World, the second track will be Ring Of Fire, third track will be I Never Saw Her Again and to finish I will record Roxanne.

Changes To Song Choices

I have decided that instead of doing Hey Porter on the album that i'm going to do Ring Of Fire. The reason i've decided to do this is because i've been playing Ring Of Fire at some open mics round Cambridge recently and it's been well recieved.


I've also decided that instead of playing the songs just like Johnny Cash played them i'm gonna try and put my own unique spin on them. For example instead of strumming the chords in Ring Of Fire I use a technique called fingerpicking which is where you pick the individual notes of the chord to make the song have a softer, quieter touch. This technique is used a lot in Folk music. I've also found a way of using this technique in (Ghost) Riders In The Sky.
