Greetings, I am KONGO RIKISHI (Esan Shi)!This is a video of one of my demos. I thought i’d edit together clips from here and there into videos to go along with some of my demos, rather than just the sound. Since people often have a limited attention span, thus a video may lure them into listening for longer.The track is BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN written by Booker T. Jones and William Bell and originally performed by Albert King and then Cream and also Jimi Hendrix. Kind of based more on the Hendrix version, which was an instrumental. This is heavily instrumental but does include some vocal. So it’s kinda unique and different to in some way to each of the other versions.BORN UNDER A BAD SIGNWords & Music by B. T. Jones / W. BellAdditional Words by J. Hendrix / E. Shiguitar - Esan Shidrums - Esan Shibass - Esan Shivocal - Esan ShiRecorded / edited / mixed / produced by E. ShiIt’s basically my demo version of “Born Under A Bad Sign” written by Booker T Jones and William Bell. It was recorded in one take and completely improvised on the spot. As well as words taken from the original composition, it also includes some words written by Jimi Hendrix from some of his jam sessions.”Seven dollars in my pocket” etc…..As well as that, I included a line of my own words that fit in coming straight after that, to complete that phrase.”Been washed up, hung out to dry, by a woman’s evil spell.”LYRICS:Born under a bad sign yeahI’ve been down since I began to crawlIf it wasn’t for bad luckI wouldn’t have no luck at allBad luck and trouble (been my) only friendI’ve been down since I was tenBorn under a bad signI’ve been down since I began to crawlIf it wasn’t for bad luckI wouldn’t have no luck at allSeven dollars in my pocketAnd my heart is broke as hellSeven SevenSeven dollars in my pocketBut my heart is broke as hellBeen washed up hung out to dryBy a woman’s evil spellAnyway, if you’re interested, keep checking for more demos as there will always be more to come.And add my musical space http://www.myspace.com/shinkongo too.
