THE EXILES have released the music video for the track ‘Soul Woman’ from their album ‘Turning Time”, available now on Bad Reputation Records.
“This is a song I had completely forgotten about and ‘rediscovered’ on the master tapes when they were kindly sent to me by Tom Whalley. Hearing it again after 20 years, I immediately felt it was a great track and was determined to take it from the demo it was—just scratch guitar, vocal, drums, and bass—and turn it into a fully produced song.
The opening always reminded me of ‘Black Dog’ by Led Zeppelin, so I really wanted to build on that feel by adding more guitar layers and Hammond to do it justice. I ended up adding around three additional guitar tracks, including slide and a more ‘jangly’ 335 part for the Jimmy Page-style breakdown before the slide solo kicks in.
I actually like the looseness—very Zeppelin—of the breakdown and middle section, as it plays nicely against the bigger, more traditional chorus. I also added backing vocals, and Jeff’s Hammond playing really brings the whole track together and finishes it off perfectly.“
