Went back to the well of rehearsal tracks and pulled up a bucket of Dark Love. This is a song I wrote a long time ago and we've been playing it for years. But we updated the middle section to add a slow blues groove in Cm and Ken recently started singing on the song. So this version is 'new'.

This one clocks in at about five and a half minutes. Some nights it's shorter, others it's loooonger.

Not what I envisioned when I wrote Dark Love, but who am I to argue with Google?

I re-arranged my guitar part a few years ago and this is the way we play it now. Ken sings backup vocals on the middle section--one of his first recorded vocals in a Beat Concrete context.

As with the other rehearsal tracks, the audio quality is as you'd expect from the built-in microphones on our lil' Portastudio.
