Steel Bar Blues (Story)-Bret Michaels

[ti:Steel Bar Blues (Story)] [ar:Bret Michaels] [al:Ballads, Blues & Stories] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.74]When we recorded Steel Bar Blues [00:02.55]We were in Nashville Tennessee and I truly must say [00:05.86]This was one of the most enjoyable songs [00:08.73]I’ve ever written and one of the ones I truly did live in the studio [00:12.66]I was down there and I’d come up with this riff [00:16.59]And I was looking for something to put into the film [00:20.27]A Letter from Death Row which I was just finishing up [00:23.02]And so I set the microphone down on the floor of the studio [00:26.28]I said “guys just go with me on this” [00:28.71]And I started stomping my foot “bomp bomp bomp bomp” [00:32.46]And you can hear my feet just stepping on the floor [00:35.20]And just stomping and the band just all of a sudden started coming in [00:38.29]And I had the harp and we’re playing it [00:40.35]And I’m clapping and it’s live [00:42.04]And you can hear stuff going in and stuff going out [00:43.78]And people talking in the background [00:44.86]But it’s what made the song unique [00:47.35]Because then we went back in and tried to rerecord it like that [00:51.38]And it never had the feel [00:52.63]So we just used the original demo version of the song [00:55.13]Which sounded better than anything we did after that
