Hey guys welcome to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is in the
singing. I got quite a few requests for this one
and that is Ken can you please do Beyonce and Dixie Chicks and the song is
called Daddy Lessons. So I haven't seen it yet let's just fire it up and take a
look. Here we go. Check it out.
An immediate party right out of the gate.
Look at that Beyonce outfit. Jeez Louise
Daddy lessons alright.
Is that like come to papa.
She's a pretty girl.
I think they're probably in Texas what
do you guys think.
What an unseemly combination to have cross crossed over. Beyonce with the
Dixie Chicks. She seems so effeminate to me and Dixie
Chicks are you know kind of rowdy back porch girls so to speak or you know
whatever just country girls in a sense with the twist and so there's this
effeminate side and there's a harder side and the countryside on the girl
side of country.
Wow look at all those musicians on stage.
I think Beyonce gets the upstage everyone award for her outfit. What do
you guys think. I'm having a hard time listening to the music. I just kind of keep seeing.. my
eyes keep going hey wait a minute.
Hold on a minute.
Man they got a lot of musicians on that stage wow.
Big wall of sound. That must be really tough if you think if you're a sound man
and you've got to make everything heard all of these different players. You want to
hear I mean look you've got just in Dixie
Chicks alone, you've got you know banjo, you got a fiddle, you got a guitar, you
got a drummer, you got percussion, you know got background singers and you've
got you know Beyonce and then everything else that's in between. There's a lot all
that.. there's all the horn players and so forth
Harmonica.
Better know your cues as a sound man for that one.
Sounds good.
You have Beyonce kind of like doing that little thing and then oh it's country we can't
quite show all that.
That is unless you're Hank Williams or something like that or you're trying to do
"Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift then you can do that, then it's okay.
Little pitchy there.
That guy's cool man, look at those boots. I stopped this here at 3:20 to check out
those boots at three minutes and 22 seconds of the video. That's awesome
and the guys like got. He's got his moves you know. I'm gonna back this up I'm
having fun with the sax player here. Let's check this out again.
He's kinda stealing the show from the instrumentalist side here.
Dixie Chicks are kind of boring in this video to me.
I say the show is the sax player and Beyonce.
Makes me wanna dance.
Heck I'd even take up line dancing if I have to which I know nothing about. I did
too, I had a brief stint of doing swing dancing for a while and it was a lot of
fun. We did it I hadd a private instructor and then we went to some swing clubs and
that was a lot of fun. It's hard to do and then my daughter's actually a
professional dancer. She used to teach quite a bit and she would you know come
over and show me some moves and stuff like that and I get to use them on stage.
It was kind of fun so. She's a professional salsa instructor stuff so it made
it easy.
Looks like a modern Tower of Power with like you know white tux and some cowboy
boots on or something like that.
Wow. a lot of people there.
What a great mix.
I can hear everything man what a great mix.
You know something that Minkowski, in
fact I just published a thing on his on my Facebook. You know I told you he did
all kinds of amazing stuff, he's one of the greatest mixed engineers in the
world and I got to work with him for a while and he made a really prescient
comment to me or you know kind of a I don't know very interesting point that
he was making about mixing. He says you know I don't really I don't really hear
my mixes I see through them and I said what do you mean by that and he was
talking about how in a mix like this, you know he builds buildings and so every
building has a different dimension. So as the smaller buildings make the
medium-sized buildings look big and then they have their dimension or space in
them and then the big buildings, the big sounds are bigger and then he puts
space in them. So you you have to be able to see through your mix and not just
hear your mix and you can clearly see and hear that here where you can you can
kind of see the harmonica player playing, you can see the fiddle player, you can
see the sax player and it's all placed so well that it's not all muddled and you're
fighting just to you know.. craning your neck fowards listening to them to the
instrumentation so.
That was cool.
Alright a lot of fun.
That was great. You know like I said what a what an interesting combination to put
Beyonce with Dixie Chicks and and make it work. So they're crossing cross
pollinating and crossing over two completely different genres and it
worked. That's really cool. Alright you guys thank you for joining me, thank you
