Note: Just to let you know, I don't always have the time to check this MySpace page frequently, so don't be surprised if it takes awhile for me to respond to things... (9/20/06) I AM getting better at it though...So, don't give up!
I've been getting a lot of emails asking about the technical info on the two above songs....
OK, Here it is: "Denny's Blues" was an accident that is missing the first 10 seconds (hence the instant intro). It was recorded almost by mistake (it's an outtake) from a session in Flagstaff, Arizona at Chris Donnelly's "Sundisk Studios" with the incredible Richard Neville on bass, and "Gonzo" Gonzales on drums. I was just noodling around in between takes and the bass player and drummer fell in perfectly... The engineer heard me start it and ran over to the console and started recording it. I was using my 2004 (1950's) Les Paul Standard "Venita" and a 100 watt Marshall DSL Top running through a 2-12 Greenback home made bottom. Gain on 6, volume on 2, with the guitar volume backed off about half. No pedals.
"Red House" was recorded live in a beer joint in Flagstaff, Arizona on a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder. The vocals you hear are actually 2 different sets. The original vocals were not recorded that night but bled through the drum mics... so I added them later, but I had to add a lot of echo because of the bleed through. That night I was using an original 1960 Telecaster through a 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb. The pedal was a Boss ME-50.
Brief Bio:
The "Rev. Mudbone Gibson III", or Dennis Dullea, is a Texas Blues guitarist who had been playing for over 40 years and is fast, fluid, and technically great.Although Dennis has been in over a hundred different bands of one kind or another, his first love has always been the blues and the guitar style of Jimi Hendrix.He was both friends with and a competitor of Stevie Ray Vaughan in his earlier days, often sharing the stage with him, and swapping stories, funny cigarettes, and guitar licks at other times.
Dennis has always been well known for his uncanny ability to perform note-for-note covers of many of Hendrix's songs and guitar solos (including playing with his teeth) and sometimes still does when prompted at his shows...
Dennis is now 56 (October 8th) and lives in his long time home town of Fort Worth, Texas where he owns and operates a small music store and teaching/recording studio in River Oaks called "Guitar School".
