Gillian Welch Hell Among the Yearlings Country Music CD Review

August 17th, 2010 admin

Hell Among The Yearlings is the latest Country CD put out by the very talented Gillian Welch who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Gillian Welch fans, and Country fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Gillian Welch’s most impressive releases ever.

Overall Hell Among The Yearlings is a solid release. Quite possibly Gillian Welch’s best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you’re even mildly into Country music you’ll enjoy this CD.

While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 – The Deveil Had A Hold Of Me, track 8 – I’m Not Afraid To Die, and track 11 – Winter’s Come & Go.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11 – Caleb Meyer. Great track!

Hell Among The Yearlings Release Notes:

Gillian Welch originally released Hell Among The Yearlings on June 12, 2001 on the Acony Records label.  Read more...

Create Music Beat – Make Your Own Beats

August 13th, 2010 admin

Down tempo is a smooth style combining slow beats with an ambient style. It’s intended to be relaxing. It’s the electronica equivalent to smooth jazz.

When creating a down-tempo track in acid music studio I recommend setting your BPM fairly low, around 90 to 70. Use slower, hypnotic “groove type” beats, and arrange nice instrumental pieces over it. You can use vocals and other soothing noise in the back ground to help fill out the track.

With downbeat (same thing) its all about being nice and chilled.

Try finding a nice rock style drum loop, or even better a blues or jazz drum loop. Set your beats per minute at about 90 and layer some other light percussion on top. You can use another loop, or you can make it all from scratch. Your call.

Find a nice bass loop that really meshes smooth with the drums. I like to let the bass play louder than the drums, but that’s my style. If you play bass, you will have an advantage in down-tempo music.

Now use some smooth synth loops, or something you play yourself. Make it kinda float over the top of the drums and bass. Try to keep everything smooth and groovy. No sudden changes.

A nice slow acoustic guitar melody works really well for down-tempo. Aim to make something that has your foot tapping along to the beat at a nice slow and even pace.
