“455 Rocket” was recorded by Kathy Mattea and released in 1997 as the first single from her “Love Travels” album. From Wikipedia: “The song is about someone who buys a used Oldsmobile with a powerful 455 V8 engine. Despite its flaws, which include a leaky roof and excessive noise, they enjoy racing and winning against local car enthusiasts. During one race, though, the car skids on a curve and crashes through a guardrail and ends up so badly damaged it has to be towed away.”
For this production, we added two Nashville musicians to the Chic family. With our own Jimmy Mac at the helm on guitars/keys/percussion etc., these two players added needed depth (Dobro/Harmonica) for this awesome song.
Each song packages includes two instrumental tracks, music with and without the melody line, along with the sample vocal track and cue sheets in multiple file formats. "NM" in a file name indicates "no melody."
Dual Key Option - If you are not sure which key works best for you, we have a package deal to purchase both keys at a reduced price.

"Man Smart, Woman Smarter" was recorded by an eclectic list of artists in a wide variety of styles. Our version was inspired by the Jamaican feel of the recording by Dr. Victor and the Rasta Rebels.
A note about the male vocal range package...the reference vocal is sung by Jon Jones who sports an amazing BASS voice. For his music, we took the female tracks and changed it by a single half step (one click) to put it in the sweet spot of his bass range. The male vocal range package will include Jon's reference vocal, but the music tracks will be in the average male vocal range. For those tracks, all the live instruments were re-played and not shifted. If you want the track that matches Jon's vocal you can either purchase the female range music (and then shift it +1 in your software), or you can purchase the dual key package where we have included instrumental tracks in all three keys.
Each song packages includes two instrumental tracks, music with and without the melody line, along with the sample vocal track and cue sheets in multiple file formats. "NM" in a file name indicates "no melody."
Dual Key Option - If you are not sure which key works best for you, we have a package deal to purchase both keys at a reduced price. If you purchase this package, you will also receive the extra music tracks we made for Jon Jones, giving you a total of three keys without any shifting on your part.

"Deep Purple" is a new collaborative release from Rhythm Records and Chic Recordings, featuring producers Wade Driver and Shauna Kaaria on the vocal track for this new duet.
The music for “Deep Purple” was written by Peter DeRose and published as a piano composition in 1933. Sheet music sales made the song so popular that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938.
One of the most popular releases of the song (and our inspiration) was recorded in 1963 by brother and sister duo, Nino Temple and April Stevens. This version won the grammy for "Best Rock and Roll Record."
When you purchase this package, you will receive the vocal track and eight additional tracks that will allow you to duet with either Wade or Shauna, or music only to sing alone with another caller. Each option comes with or without the melody line.
This is the second duet collaboration between Rhythm Records and Chic Recordings. The first, RRC 1001 – Let it Be Me, was produced by Wade Driver and released in April of 2019. You can preview and purchase that release at www.rhythmrecords.biz.
RRC 1002 - Deep Purple (Duet) $10.00
