Times change. So, rather than do the same old thing (press and release a CD) I have decided to release one brand new song per month over the next six months. Here’s the first- Sita Ram (Soul Version).
As of October 15, 2018 this song is available for purchase (99 cents) at CD Baby. In the next few days (or weeks) it will be available in Spotify, iTunes and on a slew of music sites. You can also listen to it HERE on Soundcloud.
Please purchase the single, give it a listen and let me know how it makes you feel.
See below for song notes. And… enjoy!!
SITA RAM (SOUL VERSION)
Inspired by Ray Charles, George Harrison and Joe Cocker, this soul version of Sita Ram + Maha Mantra includes a Beatles song you know and love. May we hold the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine in our hearts, and allow them to be earthy and heavenly, engaged and filled with life.
Produced and co-written by Ben Leinbach (Old Bull Productions). Mastered by Michael Fossenkemper (TurtleTone Studio). Tthis track features beautiful vocalists Dawnia Dresser (Kirtan Leader Institute) and Sandy Griffith (Huey Lewis & the News), organist Eric Moon, guitarist Gawain Mathews (Mickey Hart) and bassist Rob Fordyce. All other instruments and vocals by Ben Leinbach. With a Little Help From My Friends © Lennon and McCartney. Photo of Mike Cohen, Ben Leinbach and Dawnia Dresser courtesy of Doug Dresser.
