I finally finished the new recording of Tribute tonight. This is the third recording ready to go for the upcoming album “Love the People, Hate the Culture”. It’s still much the same song as in the previous recording from 2005, but it’s been much improved with a full band and a counter-melody between verses.
I’ve kept the old recording up as well so you can compare them if you wish. The old recording and the lyrics are available in the previous post here.
I wrote this song for my Dad and sang it live during a celebration of his ministry back in 2004. It took quite a bit of practice to get the whole picking and singing thing down at the same time. It brings my Dad to tears, which is mighty hard to do. ;) It’s also one of my favorites.
UPDATE: This recording is an outdated version. A new, full-band recording of this song is available here.
