Makin Waves Song of the Week: “House Full of Memories” by James Deely


By Bob Makin

originally published: 07/30/2021


 

Big America Records has released longtime Jersey Shore rocker James Deely’s latest single, “House Full of Memories.” 

The reflective but rhythmic tune lives up to its title with a studio full of Shore-based musicians, including Eddie Manion, Layonne Holmes, PK Lavengood, Johnny Waken, Jonathan Byrd, former James Deely & the Valiants drummer Peter Barnett, and track producer Bruce Tunkel, whose former band, The Red House, shared many a bill with the Valiants. 

Bruce produced and mastered the single at his own Beanland Sound studio in Central Jersey. The video was produced by Jersey-based PKI Design in anticipation of a forthcoming album that will be part of an indie catalog that extends to the late 1980s.
