Jeff Esterby covers Anna Domino
This song immediately grabbed me – I wasn’t familiar with this cover or the Aretha Franklin original but I couldn’t stop listening to it – amazing lyrics and the Anna Domino version has sort of a weird icy sadness to it. A part of me wishes I hadn’t done such a straight cover of it but I’ll get over it. Thanks, Karl! I was really going to try to use actual hardware on this next round and I totally blew it and leaned on all software again. Some dopey amp sim plugin on the telecaster track - drums are Roland TR-606 samples, Roland SH-101 on bass, Yamaha DX7 koto (Dexed) and Korg Polysix for the dreamy lead. Using two different spring reverbs and tape echo from Altiverb and a Valhalla plate reverb - everything recorded into Ableton.
