Here are some tunes we've recorded in both studio and live settings. (When you click "download", you may have to try twice; just be patient) A little background on the tunes: "Make Up Your Mind" - This was the first of Deb's compositions that we put together. I like the way she went for a slightly unconventional song structure and still kept it obviously recognizable as blues. "Fishin' Pole" - A naughty little ditty that continues to be one of the most requested and well-received tunes for both Blue Steel Express and the Kevin and Deb duo. "I Just Want To (Make Love to You)" - This was taken directly off the mixing board during a show. We just rolled tape and forgot about it. I especially like Ralph's flute work on this one. "Crosscut Saw" - An Albert King classic. Every now and then you get lucky: this was done in one take, no overdubs, no do-overs, just "BOOM!", and there it was! "Kitchen Song" - Another naughty song. This one got a lot of airplay and got audiences out to see the band "Gimme Back My Wig" - This was a Hound Dog Taylor staple and is deliberately low-fi, low tech. When we recorded this, we used vintage equipment, old guitars, and the "one take, no matter what" approach to try to recreate that sweaty vibe of the early post-war urban blues of the late 40's -early 50's "Too Good To Be True" - Just a real fun tune to play; everybody in the band "gets their ya-ya's out". "Room to Move" - Another one taken off the board "live". You can hear the guitar signal beginning to degrade (dying battery) but Tom's solo is so spot-on it's worth a technical flaw or two.
