From the 2004 James Reyne Album, "Speedboats For Breakfast". Written and performed by Brett Kingman.
When James Reyne recorded his 2004 album "Speedboats For Breakfast", we were a little short on tunes to fill the disc up. I had the music and riff for this one and offered it up for James to contribute to or just sing as was. He suggested we slow it down a little (I was jamming it about 20bpm faster than this version) and in the end he thought I should sing it. So I wrote the lyrics in my head on the way to my brother Scott's studio and Scott and I belted the whole lot out in a day. Scott programmed the drums and synths to our mutual satisfaction and I played and sang pretty much everything else (and I know I'm not much of a singer!) although I think Scott might have thrown in a little rhythm guitar towards the end of the track. We used a Hughes & Kettner Zentera amp for the guitar parts and a 2001 Telecaster Standard. The solo was compiled from a long take. Scott just let the chord progression loop for about 10 minutes and I jammed over the top of it. Scott took what he thought were the best bits and compiled what you hear now. That's it, really. James was very generous letting it appear on the album, I thought, and I am grateful. It's not credited as me, which is a bit of a disappointment, and even more so when I get copyright notices from Youtube and the record company. However, here it is; my one and only commercial track to appear on a James Reyne album. A little blast from the past.
