Topic: Remake of ANDY

Joe posted a shot of a couple of guitars in a studio on his instagram today.
20th anniversary remake in progress with Kev. Redoing vocals and “ill advised guitar riffs”.
Geeze! Has it been that long?!
Power trio time?

Re: Remake of ANDY

I just read this on Joe's Instagram as well. A remake of ANDY!?!! FIX ill advised guitar riffs? The studio version of ANDY is one of the most perfect, no... it IS the most perfect blues album I own. How can you change what is already perfect? I honestly do not believe it could be improved upon.

Re: Remake of ANDY

Today, it’s a wrap. Resung the entire album ‘cause his voice is better. Said he owed it to Tom.
No release date yet.

Would be interesting to hear Dowd's reaction to the remake!

Re: Remake of ANDY

Just wondering.Could he record it live and make a new ANDY Live album?
Nah probably overkill.But I would bet on a song or two in future sets.

He might not be doing ANDY live however I heard that he is making an exact remake of this famous music video:

I know a lot of you like Cradle Rock, me not so much

But I live the volume swells in Pain and Sorrow

Re: Remake of ANDY

Just really hope we don't hear horns and backup singers on these tracks.

I'll stop worrying when it's released.... They can always add them without JB being in studio

Re: Remake of ANDY

I really like whirlwind's avatar which looks like it's from the Borderline. This further concerns me with the remake of the album since I remember when I watched it Joe clearly had trouble playing some of those great songs from ANDY. Of course I'll buy the remake if I possible can in any event but still.. I'm a little nervous for this release.

Well it would be ANDY 2019 Or ANDY HORNS

I suppose he has something that makes him want to rework it.Perhaps holeshot is on to something.

Re: Remake of ANDY

Maybe they just re-did the vocals, and will use the original sound tracks.

His voice is very pushed in the first handful of albums,

Re: Remake of ANDY

This could be summer thing he always does? A re-release and small tour? I'm intrigued for sure, and I've said before I wish he would stay away from horns but I'll buy it nonetheless even if they are there. I mean if I don't like it, I love the original!

That’s what it sounds like but as he currently works with the Borderline bass and drums surely it would make sense to re-record the whole album, also recording and engineering techniques must have moved on since 2000.
I would buy a complete new version of ANDY but might not bother if it’s just new vocals.
No doubt we’ll hear more in the coming weeks.
A three piece tour featuring his early material would be good too!

Re: Remake of ANDY

Hmm got me thinking.Since the blues covers and country Joe side projects are done is this the next in that line?
However doing a three piece is a lot more work for Joe.
  If so he could also redo ANDY Live.
But I almost hate to mess with that live album.Run the risk of not catpturing the same vibe.
