Windy - The Association cover by Rick and Ian

1967 was a great year for music and Ruthann Friedman wrote one of the greatest! Windy was a summer hit. I loved the Associations harmonies on this song. Ian and I just decided to give it a go. It didn't take long to record as I had been listening to their version for a while. I do hope Ruthann Friedman made some money from this great song!! Now, lets go back to the summer of love....

Another great job!

Tell me, what type of mic are you using? Dynamic or condenser? Any pros/cons?

Thanks

[engineer909]

@sjurgens Thanks! I use a Blue Spark cardioid condenser mic for vocals and MXL 990 and 991 for drums and the electric guitar. I usually run the bass direct. All of the mics are condenser. I like the warmer sound....Rick

Well, it is official....you post ALL MY FAVS!! AND, this one blows my mind. It is sooo amazingly good. Rick, you and Ian have been on a rampage lately of posting music that is so incredible in arrangement, sound, and delivery. (Love the tambourine on the off beat,...you have all the little details...WWWOOOWW!!!!)!!! You are both brilliant and THANK YOU for sharing this. My fav by The Associations is Never My Love and Windy. Truly, I love this and thank you. Love to you both! min :-) WOW.....

@practicing4 Hey min! Thanks for stopping by. This was a favorite of mine since I was just a little one. Always loved the vocal work by the Association. Never My Love...another great number! My favorite of theirs is Everything That Touches You, just beautiful in the words and arrangement. Thanks again for your comments!....Rick
