Project Update

Project update January 29th 2006

Allot has been going on the last week, several new songs are being worked on and are coming to life. The Man is a new blues style song that we are working also Kitchen Table is coming along. We have started recording with the new V-Amp 2 guitar Amp model and I have to say that the fine folks at Behringer have done a truly great job with this product.

Here is a list of the new songs coming along for the project.

Redline 2005
Oh Susan by Steven C Foster written in 1828.
Enough
Woke up this morning
Another Drink
We will have a new song line up very soon for the album

Also some musician’s line ups are in order
Guitar Joe Martinez
Vocals Joe Martinez & Mark St Martin
Bass guitar Mark St Martin
Lead Guitar Peter Dawson
Drums by Cool Edit Pro. 

I would also like to take a chance to welcome Matt Sotomayor to the family of Musicians here at the J Martinez Project. Matt will be recording his own music very soon. Rumor has it the Mark St Martin may do some bass work with Matt’s Project also.
Here is a link to Matt’s Site http://www.xfactordx.net/
Matt’s site will be a music only site very soon. Be sure to check out his poetry while you’re hanging around at his site.

Most of the recordings here on this site at this time are only test demos and do not show the real quality of the music and songs that will be on the album.
I will continue to link some of our songs to this blog, but please remember that these are just tests.

One thing I want to point out is Oh Susana will be done in a way that has never been done before and it will use all of the lyrics that came with Steven Foster’s version of the song. This song was written very differently than what is has been portrayed as.
I will post a short version of it in the next day or so.

Take care all.
Joe
