Since this song has received comments on the blog, I've re-mixed again to sound better. Thanks for input from JS54inMO; I agree with your observations. I re-mixed the recording with less volume on the shaker, fixed some note discrepancies on the violin and balanced the violin with the guitar better. Hope you like the new rendition better. - Kevan

Remix Song: KP1-7.2 MEDICATION, by Son Volt; mandolin and violin added
Click to Listen:
This song by Son Volt represents the Alt-Country style, which Son Volt was considered to be a pioneer. The live-version of the song has a longer grundge guitar jam; this version has a more interesting slide-guitar part. I added a mandolin part with a sizzle, and the electric-violin on a preset from the Digitech GNX-4 that I called KIVEBOMB, which makes the violin sound like a mellow electric guitar.
The theme "medication" has a meaning of a blessing and a curse. Modern-Medicine indulges in medications for every symptom. Some medications are essential for life sustaining, such as insulin, blood-pressure pills, etc., but other medications seem to get in our way of progress, and we find out later that the side-effects of many medications result in legal law-suits, lost time spent on hope for relief of our symptoms, and in the end, dis-satisfaction by all involved. The mystery of the brain still eludes the treatment for many of the symptoms that we are plagued with. Healing sometimes requires medication -- let's hope we can find the correct ones, as we learn more about the mechanism of the mind and body interaction.
