“But For One Day” Mix Completed. Hear Jen Knock It Out Of The Park!
Posted: July 8, 2014 Filed under: Now Tracking | Tags: But For One Day, Sax, Songwriter Vince Taylor, Soul Singer Jennifer L Leave a commentVince Taylor wrote this as a straight ahead, white bread piano ballad so turning it into a soulful Memphis tune with sax was risky but I really felt it needed to go in that direction and the more I listened to the rough, the more I was convinced Joplin-channeling soul singer, Jennifer L, should sing it.
Here’s a clip of But For One Day:
Hopefully the result speaks for itself?- b.e. watson
Update: 10-15-14 Vince contacted us via e-mail to report this recording has passed muster with a radio program director he submitted it to and, with Jennifer’s blessing, is currently receiving airplay.

Wayne’s songs two through four will feature male vocalists are in various stages of production with two mixes expected to be finished toward the end of next week.
“Wayne felt we should record this with a vocalist that sounds like Dwight Yoakum. I liked his idea of giving the recording a bit of rockabilly vibe and making it sound almost like the listener is hearing a live band but the more I worked with it in pre-production the more I could hear a powerhouse country female vocal, so I went with my instincts without letting Wayne know. Jennifer just flat out delivered an excellent performance that made the concept work. I didn’t realize at the time this would be the first song of the five I’d finish so it was nail biting time when I sent Wayne the mix. Hey, the tune rocks, Wayne loves it, ALL GOOD!” – Bill Watson, producer
Here’s Jennifer just prior to tracking her vocal on Midnight, Me and the Moon!
