Please help! Credits for Curtis Downey's Music

[MorseKode]

Hello,

You may or may not have heard of me (probably not), but I collaborated quite a lot, about 10-15 years ago. I wrote an album called Implicit Lyrics and Curtis sung on every track. I re-released it last year.

Curtis has some more music and his family has asked me to get it out there on Spotify, iTunes and so on, but I'm aware that he co-wrote many of the songs and I'd like to get permission from the authors before I upload all the tracks.

Here is his playlist on SoundClick - did you play on any of these songs, and/or write or co-write them?

Also if you have high-quality WAVs that I can use (instead of my mp3s) of the finished songs it would be most appreciated if you could send them over!

Thanks very much,
David

[napoleonboot]

you could search for them on here an identify credits that way, especially if they are in the finished forum

[Davidinoz]

I played bass on a couple of these. I may have wav. files for them.

It's a good shout, but some of them are from the Collaboration Central days, and no amount of searching turns up anything.

This would be very helpful! Please let me know if you can dig something up. 

[Davidinoz]

They should be on a backup disc - I'll dig them out.
I also have one of mine that Curtis wrote the lyrics and melody for and provided vocals.

Ok I have had some luck tracking down the authors by searching the forums!

There are 3 songs I still can't find, can anyone help with these? "Hands of Time", "I Won't Give In", and "The Rain".

All can be heard on Curtis's SoundClick: https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandID=183233&content=songs

I can hear my own playing on "I Won't Give In"  But I don't remember who wrote it at all!

Here are the rest of the credits for songs that Curtis's son has suggested we put on a CD. If you're the author or co-author, and see this post, I would massively appreciate a thumbs-up to release it on iTunes/Spotify/etc. The aim is not to make money, just get the music out there!

Thanks!
David

[Davidinoz]

From the list above I played bass on Mama and Never Gone. You have all the other credits for those. I do have a wav. file for Never gone (attached here) but not for Mama.

[Davidinoz]

This is another one with Curtis called Daddy's Little Boy. Unfortunately I have no idea who the credits go to apart from Curtis singing and me playing bass. I think this was done at one of Fred Jam's earlier sites around 2005. mp3 attached (it's all I have).

[Davidinoz]

Another song Curtis co-wrote - Faded can be found here https://www.musicianscollaboration.com/forum/index.php?topic=2835.0

[Davidinoz]

All Over Again - another one from Fred Jam's earlier site (I think). Unfortunately again I can only vouch for me on bass and Curtis singing. wav. file attached.

[Davidinoz]

Somebody New - my second attempt at songwriting (co wrote with Curtis) from somewhere around 2005.

Credits
Curtis Downey - Author lyrics and melody, vocals and all round good guy
Davidinoz (David Timson) - Author music, bass, rhythm guitar, hammond, mix and master, backing vocals

Digitaldrummer (Mike Kosacek) Drums

I forgot to add - any of my work (playing,  writing, mixing whatever) is free for you to use for this project. Curtis was a great talent and always a pleasure to work with. I wish I could help more but my backups are not as complete as they should be and old age has stolen my memory. I do have a much better studio set up than I did in those days so if you need any help with mixing or cleaning up tracks give me a yell.

Were you going to have a go at a new mix, David? If so, I have a better piano for you.

[Davidinoz]

I haven't found the separate tracks for any of these yet. Not even sure I ever had them for faded so remixes are probably unlikely.
