Mr. Fastgun by JOHNNY CASINO

A song written for a band I was in before I left Australia to live in Spain, we never got around to recording it (along with a bunch of other good songs) and it felt like a good fit with the songs for ¨High Stone¨ With the musical part for this song I was trying to channel a mix of The Flamin Groovies meets The Small Faces, and listening back i reckon we kinda got there, you´ll be the judge!! For this recording I was looking for a dangerous/menacing sounding track with a powerful soulful vocal, and that is what i hear in this track.
Rock´n´roll is often at is best when it is coming from the heart with honesty and passion, and i hear that in Mr. Fastgun. I reckon we all might have had a ¨Mr. Fastgun¨ in our lives at some stage, and i really like this kinda lyric being sung by a strong female with presence and power, for me it gives it a real shape edge.

Classy, rocking and cinematic, with sweeping vision, individualism , big, bold and brassy sounds occasionally bitter and always engaging. I-94 BAR
