Days (2010)
Guitar, Voice, Bass, Drums

A great Kinks song that I first heard performed by Elvis Costello. Dan Ransom is a real Kinks fan and has turned me on to a lot of great music by them. This remains my favorite, with very cool vocals by Dan.
The Very Thing That Makes You Rich, Makes Me Poor (2016/2020)
Guitars, Drum, Bass, Voice
Vocals and Blues Harp: Dan Ransom
Duration: 6:37
Dan has turned me on to some great music over the years. This is our version of the Ry Cooder song The very thing that makes you rich (Makes me poor). The slide was recorded on an EKO Small scale parlor guitar. Guitar tracks were recorded with late 80’s Danelectro copy Lisa Guitar (The only guitar not made in the 1960’s on this album). I don’t remember the bass guitar that was used, but best guess is it was the Burns Baldwin Bison Bass.
I brought the recordings to Vermont and we recorded Dan’s Vocals and Blues Harp in his former family house (the red one with the porch).
Recorded in 2016 and 2017, final mix in 2020.
This is Version 1. We did a second more austere version in 2021, recorded mostly live in Manchester Vermont.
