I made this for Reggie Hancock’s Mixlr radio show. The name of his show is Something Smells and he plays funk, R&B and Rap most of the time. Sometimes he will have one of his own rap albums or Blondie or the Ramones or something.
Anyway, we were in the chat one night and someone said something like ‘put a piece of stink in your heart’. I thought it sounded like a Janis Joplin song and Reggie joked that it sounded like it could be a parody song. haha. Well, here it is.
I did something very different, this whole song uses my Les Paul instead of my usual Strat. I have been playing more recently and once my hand and arm get exhausted from playing the Strat I move over to the LP. It is much easier to play and also is a mean guitar in its own right.
Piece of My Heart is a great song. I learned it last night, tried to record it and made all kinds of a mess. I rethought the whole thing and rerecorded it today. It took way longer than the usual hour, but I had fun doing it.
The vocals here are for Reggie’s show but I might re-purpose the guitar for a BBFB intro. I realize that I have like 50 more songs to write before we are done with BBFB and I am going to need every song I can lay my hands on. What have I signed up for? LOL.
