SOMETIMES AL NOBLE FEELS LIKE A CAVE MAN !!

Towards the end of 2018 we started kicking around a song Al had dragged out of his kit bag. He called it 'Cave Man' and he wanted us to get down and dirty with it.

We think words like sludge, grunge, gritty and nasty best describe the feel Al was after. Al steered us towards the Trogg's version of Wild Thing as a guide. He wanted it to sound loose. Sort of sounds that might well come up best after a bottle of bourbon or two. You know, just enough to take the edge off.

Essentially Cave Man is an alpha male song that has no place in the 21st century.................talkin' 'bout the sort of feelings a totally unreconstructed Neanderthal might sense creeping up on him when sitting across the fire from a woman draped in a leopard skin.  "Waaaah !!  Come with me to the cavern of love baby......we can jump all around........ I got a PhD in primitive love !! "  You know, basic instincts.

We got  Manny to get out all his grungy trick toys and turn them all on at once. Volume 11 please Manny.

It's probably true to say that we actually spent more time roughing this song up than polishing it.
