Eric Michael Lichter - "Love Is Alive" (by Gary Wright)

An exact re-creation using the same analog instruments found on Gary's 1975 version. This was a fun challenge, considering all of the little parts I needed to learn. I also don't usually sing in this way, so that was a challenge too! Andy Newmark’s funky kick drum pattern was was absolutely necessary to get down, otherwise the whole groove would have felt wrong.
Gary's Moog parts seemed abstract on the original recording, falling in odd spots throughout. I'd listen to bits of his original, then overdub mine in the same spots, like a musical game of Simon!
Doing these cover songs was a fun way to get through the early part of covid, and to dig deeper into my own musical well as an instrumentalist. Thanks for all these great song suggestions!
