Details:
Here is my new recording, ''A Song For Everyone''. My son Pax sings on the second chorus, which was a wonderful experience for me. He last sang on one of my tracks when he was six! He''s now 32. Let''s just say his voice is lower, but just as beautiful. When he was six, he did two takes, said, ''that''s enough'' and charged me a dollar. I just sent him a loonie (Canadian dollar) in the mail.
I also shot a Youtube video of my recording the lead vocal of this song in one take. It''s grainy but may help promote the song. People seem to be interested in the recording process, as long as you don''t really show them what it''s like. That''s why I did it in one take. Warts and all. The instrumentals I took my time with. Before multi-track recording, orchestras and vocalists had to have their act together, like a symphony. That''s all changed.
Bio-
Headed for a career as an English professor in the mid 1960’s, John Lyle was ‘broadsided’ by Bob Dylan and The Beatles. His degree went out the window, and so did he, playing in a series of bands and then performing on Canadian network television and radio as a solo act. He was also signed to two record labels during this era, but realized that because of his highly sensitive nature he was not cut out for the performing life.
John returned to his home in the Vancouver area, and devoted himself to his family, supporting them with a career that may have been more dangerous than the performance stage. He became a postman. John Lyle’s wonderful body of work is evidence of a life lived on the streets and in the home, filled with all the love and loss and joy and despair that are part and parcel of being alive. The songs are vital, not written to imitate a commercial trend or to fulfil a contract, but to reflect the intensity of experience and to remain sane.
