I Talk to Jesus Video
For the 35th date on my ‘No Rhyme or Reason Tour’. I recorded and filmed this performance of ‘I Talk to Jesus’ on 1-9-2025. I wrote the song in 1988 and released it on the ‘Lost in Babylon’ album in 1989.
For this track, I pulled up the original 8 track recording and stripped it down, keeping only the keyboard bass riff, a couple guitar snippets, and a keyboard in the middle solo section. I added a live guitar and vocal, bass, keys, bvox, drums and loops. I ran the original keyboard bass riff thru a DS Audio Tantra plugin, as well as one of the drum loops, and had a new groove for the song.
As I have done on previous Live From the inSync Asylum videos, I recorded the track without headphones or monitoring the guitar, which was later run thru and Neural DSP Morgan Amp plugin.
As for the song, I’ve never thought of it as a religious song, but more one of desperation. When I did the Lost in Babylon album, I was reading the bible, with some of the tracks veering toward the apocalyptic (like the leadoff track ‘Take a Nail’). I still think it’s one of my better albums, though it’s starting to sound exactly like it was recorded over 35 years ago. Check out if you haven’t already.
