This is the third volume of theEasy English with Beautiful Music. This volume was a lot of fun to record in the studio. Once again, we decided on twelve songs for this volume, and yet again, two of my original songs were included.
Here is the track list:
- Pretty Woman (Roy Orbison)
- When Susannah Cries (Espen Lind)
- Still The One (Shania Twain)
- Partisans Of Ireland (James Branam)
- Mull Of Kintyre (Paul McCartney)
- Blowing In The Wind (Bob Dylan)
- Wild World (Mr. Bigg - Cat Stevens)
- Sad Eyes (Bruce Springsteen)
- I Got You Babe (Sonny & Cher - Sonny Bono)
- Carolina (James Branam)
- The Fool On The Hill (Beatles)
- El Condor Pasa (Simon & Garfunkel)
I performed all of the instruments and sang all of the vocals except the lead vocals on Still the One. I sand half of the duet on I Got You Babe. Karolína Hanušová sang lead vocals on Still the One and the other half of the vocals on I Got You Babe. Karolína was s student of mine at a Cyech high school where I used to teach. She entered the studio without ever having heard the songs she was to sing. She learned them on the spot. She did a fantastic job. I've even heard some please say that her version of Still the One sounds better than the original. Another interesting fact: I had strep throat during the last week of the recording. Fortunately, most of the tracks had been recorded. However, if you listen closely to my backing vocals on Still the One and lead vocals on I Got You Babe, you can hear it. I would have preferred to reschedule the studio time, but this would have been very expensive, so we went ahead and recorded. It was a very painful experience.
