Big Chris & D'Bare Bones Band News!

My song "Girl In The Window" will be featured on an upcoming compilation album called Backroom Blues Vol. 5 put out by Bongo Boy Records.  This will get "Girl In The Window" pushed to radio and film in China, Japan, and the UK.  It may not help get the word out about Big Chris & D'Bare Bones Band music, but it can't hurt!

Also, I am gearing up to start recording my 2nd album.  I started off planning 5 songs but that is looking more like 7--maybe 8--songs for this EP. 

Definite song titles:


The Bootlegger's Prayer
Please Don't Make Me Watch A Chick Flick
Completely Flexible
I Love You More Than Meatloaf
Where The Worm Dieth Not (Mission Of One remake)

Possible songs:

Born Again (Accapella song only)
Burning Bush (parody of ZZ Top's "Tush")
Fur Elise (both classical and rocked out versions in one song)

FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!

Looks like there might be a few tongue-in-cheek tunes on this one (love those titles....although I'm not sure I could love anyone more than meatloaf).  Very much looking forward to any Mo1 remakes....heck maybe you could do two (hint-hint).

Great news!  Love some more BCDBBB!

Very cool!

Awesome news!

More are forthcoming.  I intend to do "Man Overboard" on my next full length.  That gets this song with my other blues stuff.  There are others I want to do, but I will try to spread that out over time so that my 15 world wide fans from Mission Of One don't feel like they are just having to buy rehashed songs.  As new material is written, I will sprinkle in some of the old songs redone in a way where I can handle my own lead work.  That seemed to work well for me on "When Your Time Comes".

If I were to do another MO1 remake, what would you suggest besides "Man Overboard"?

Give it to Jesus....my favorite of the classic Mof1 tunes

What about Feed My Sheep?

I think it is a little soon for that.  That was off the last Mission Of One CD.  I'd prefer to grab some tracks that are older.

I'd like to redo "Give It To Jesus".  I have since written a bridge for the song.  I may redo it and shorten the guitar solo or nix it altogether.  I just know it has to be shorter than 7 minutes this time around.

FANTASTIC NEWS.

Can "Talkin' 'Bout Jesus" be an idea?

Not for the EP.  I will definitely think about it for the next full length, though.  I think it could fit in better there.

If you haven't been to my Facebook page lately, you should.  I have posted snippets of two new songs I am currently working on:

Burning Bush (a parody of ZZ Top's "Tush""
Please Don't Make Me Watch A Chick Flick (an 80s power ballad because I am so into romance) 



I am also going to be submitting a couple of more songs to Bongo Boy Records for consideration on a compilation album.  They are now doing a Gospel Blues project and I'd like to be one of the first on it.

Cool, off to check out those snippets right now!

I am pleased to announce that I am the FIRST artist accepted on Bongo Boy's upcoming "Gospel Blues Vol. 1" album!!!!

Yipppeee, that's awesome news.
I will give those songs a listen.
See, Big Chris & D' Bare Bones Band is making progress.
I love to see this.

Congrats!

Well done Chris!  That's great news!

Wicked cool!  Like I said at the CMR, your music is great and any exposure that will help you get new fans is much deserved.

Even though it will cost me to do so, I am even thinking of paying to get my album reviewed on Jesus Freak Hideout's site.  They charge indie bands for that service.
