‘Riders on the Storm’ Played As a Dire Straits Song
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#6K34G)
Dutch musicianLaszlo Buringperformed The Doors haunting narrative Riders on the Storm"in the distinctive style ofDire Straits, albeit at a much quicker tempo, combining the best musical elements of Mark Knopfler and Ray Manzarek into one.
Went with a Lady Writer/Sultans of Swing kind of approach for this one, raising the original tempo quite a bit. I tried to work a few of Ray Manzarek's piano riffs in there, with the walking down the Dorian scale type of stuff.
