Years ago I played and recorded guitar and bass with groups in Nashville. But I always wanted to record music where I played all the parts and recorded all the tracks. Now technology has progressed to the point where I can do that with the digital equipment that’s available to most musicians. All the recordings on this site were created by recording each of the instruments on separate tracks and overlaying them to produce the final master track.
All music & instruments were arranged, recorded and played by Barry V. Hess.
