This song started life as a 'Scratch Track' to convince our band (at the time) that it could be done in a harder rock style. It was totally rejected by the band and it sat for a year collecting virtual dust. Over the next couple of years, the song evolved. I asked a musical friend - Max Cortez - to play keys on it, which he was kind enough to do for me. I started singing backing vocals and adding lead guitar phrases, a little bit here and there. Eventually, some of my musical friends would contribute to more layers of backing vocals and the song would languish again for over a year with zero updates. This song is literally a sonic patchwork quilt.
Over the past few days, I've found myself suffering from a total creative block, with regards to original material. This morning, I decided to go back over this song and adjust all the volume levels and see if I could get a halfway decent sound out of it.
Here it is for your enjoyment. I mixed it down as a 32 bit float WAV file to maintain HD quality.
I would say, that as Rainbow covers go, it's at least an average effort, though certainly not on-par with the original.
As always, your critiques are welcome...Happy Weekend...

show is over, Mrs Steve and I are going to plan a Cali weekend and hopefully meet up with some of my other Cali bros and have us a Von Herndon road trip to one of your shows.
