Eric Barr & The Jammers LIVE – Mary Jane’s Last Dance

Recorded LIVE on August 26, 2023, this is Eric Barr and the Jammers (Bill Sloan and Gene Powell) performing the Tom Petty tune “Mary Jane’s Last Dance”.

This is one of those tracks the band loves to play, and is a crowd favorite for sure. I am playing my Gretsch Falcon Cutaway acoustic guitar through a Fender Smolder® Overdrive pedal*, and I love the results. It’s almost impossible to get a good, phat tone without deal-breaking feedback and squealing using a normal overdrive pedal designed for electric guitars. Fender did the math and figured out how to EQ out the offending tones and leave the phat tones I was looking for. Judge for yourself. And this is just one setting, it can be as hot or subtle as you desire. Truly the best of both worlds.. (Now I just have to learn how to play lead guitar..)

*I am in no way compensated by Fender or any one else to make these statements. I am simply and freely stating my true opinion. This pedal is perfect for my needs.

This track was recorded live on August 29, 2023 at a private party in rural Fountain County, Indiana. We were set up outdoors right next to a big pond, and there were lots of folks just having fun all round. You can even hear folks talking in the background from time-to-time. What a great time, but I didn’t get any video, which is truly unfortunate. I hadn’t really intended on recording but I set it up at the last minute. We play through a PreSonus mixer which allows me to record each track separately. I import those tracks into my Cubase software and do a basic mix, and this is the result.

Eric Barr & The Jammers LIVE – Tore Down

“Tore Down” is an Eric Clapton blues cover tune. The Jammers play a lot of different music styles, and many times Gene or I will throw out a tune the other has never done. But in the true spirit of “Jammers” we just…jam it out. This track is such a pristine example of that concept. The first time we played this, I had never played it before. Gene and Billy kicked it off, I jumped in and away we went. I played the lead parts like I heard in my noggin, not necessarily how it was originally done by Clapton, so it lacks some of the “signature” licks of Clapton’s original. I never play it exactly the same. This just became how we kind of “do” this song. I heard the original a while after we had been covering it and was surprised how different my version is.. Oh well.. Jammers be jammin’. That’s all it is.

I am playing my Gretsch Falcon Cutaway acoustic guitar through a Fender Smolder® Overdrive pedal, and I love the results. It’s almost impossible to get a good, phat tone without deal-breaking feedback and squealing using a normal overdrive pedal designed solid-body for electric guitars. Fender did the math and figured out how to EQ out the offending tones and leave the phat tones I was looking for, and put it in a little foot pedal. Judge for yourself. And this is just one setting, it can be as hot or subtle, phat or screaming as you desire. Truly the best of both worlds.. (Now I just have to learn how to play lead guitar..)

Live @ Stone Bluff 2022 – Copperhead Road

Eric Barr and The Jammers performing at Gregg Alderson’s yearly bash outside of Stone Bluff, IN on Saturday, July 16th, 2022. The Jammers (Eric Barr, Billy Sloan, and Gene Powell) perform the Steven Earl song, Copperhead Road. The song is actually the first song Eric ever played all the way through on stage way back in the early 90’s at an open stage. It has become one of his most requested songs, and the band plays their version of the cult classic country rock foot-stomper in this genuine Hoosier back-country production. No fancy effects, no glitz and glimmer, just three guys who love to jam doing what they love. No claim for copyright on the music or lyrics, as this is a cover tune written by Steven Earl. Any ads shown by YouTube are solely and properly for the benefit of the author. This recording and video, however, are ©2022 Eric Barr.
