Ain't No Sunshine Mom-a-lope by B2K
published on
Sonic remnants of jams & loops ("Jam-a-lopes") remaining in the looper pedal . . .
Inspired by "Momma," an original tune by the awesome dudes who formed the iconic Kent, WA band "Johnny Bravo," back in the day . . .
"Momma" had a sweet portion with a shout-out to Bill Wither's Ain't No Sunshine, another inspiration herein . . .
Starting with a paired-down "skiffle" sound, then rhythmically multiplied by some sweet "hall reverb and delay."
Thanks for listening!
Please feel free to hit us up!
We're always up to Jam!
