Here's another segment of a series I call "Verse and a Chorus with Smokin' J" ~
Short & sweet samples of great tunes from great songwriters. Enjoy :-)
Here's our version of The Beatles' "One After 909": the anthology version, not the Let It Be version. Enjoy :-)
Here's our version of "Movin' On Up," the theme song from The Jeffersons, which, incidentally, was Smokin' Jay's favorite sitcom as a kid. This one's for George, Weezy, and you! Enjoy...
Extended remix. All eye colors are represented in this version.
The album "Thank You For Smokin'" was recorded in 1998 at DCP Studios in San Francisco, CA. with the "classic" Js lineup: Joe Lujan, Jimm Wrenn, Kevin Kennedy, and Jay Jackl. Here's the opening track... a pop-cultural classic. Enjoy!
Here's a quick track we wrote on the spot at a wedding when the bride asked us to play a "We're about to cut the cake" song. We might have created a new genre that night. Enjoy...
Here's our smorgasbord of disco & funk classics, using The Trammps' "Disco Inferno" as a starting point. Good times ahead...
This is our world-famous gumbo of golden age hip hop and classic R&B tunes using The Commodores' "Brick House" as a template. Settle in and travel to a simpler, doper place in time...
Here's our hit single "White Trash Girl," which topped to charts in Nova Scotia in the late '90s. Thanks to our neighbors to the North(east).
Here's our second smash single "Joelle," which gained much traction on the internet in its early days thanks to drunk people misspelling the title of the classic Dolly Parton track "Jolene" in their web searches. Thanks, Dolly Parton. Thanks, drunk people. Enjoy...
Them Duke boys is in a heap o' trouble this time. How'r they gonna get outta this tub o' honey!? Well, here's our ode to Waylon Jennings and the Duke family (R.I.P., Uncle Jesse).
Oh, Sandy! Of all the John Travolta and Jeff Conaway collabs, it's hard to pick a favorite, but here's ours: "Greased Lightnin'." Bust out the inexplicable rolls of cellophane and dance with wild abandon to this timeless crowd-pleaser :-)
Let's time travel to the early 2000s...
