This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way
Things…
Thank you for being you
No one else would do
Thank you for being you
You're all I ask for
Too many nights alone
tonight I'm coming home
open up the wine cos I'm
gonna be with the one who's shown
Me the ways of old
Women into wives…

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…

This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…
One of two pretty little interludes for the album, both of which are based around a guitar part Gary did for me. I've put different synth chords behind each of them to cover the two sides of the lady that inspired the full song, Jekyll & Hyde…

A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…
Jekyll and Hyde
are both well and alive
and they're living inside of home
Jekyll is kind to me
Smiles all the time to me
Hyde is a wild arrow from a bow
As much as Jekyll makes you smile
If she drinks herself some wine
You'll be the one that…
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee

Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.

A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie..
Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.
A miner in the twenties, blue scars…
Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2

When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
More bad news on the TV delivered by the beautiful news reader to soften the blow.......its all too much....a double dip recession ......a government filled with corruption a sunday paper filled with the Rich.............
Recession
Blank mind…
Jip and JB in the Jipster studio, sitting down with guitars and a few beers, and many laughs. It was almost abandoned at one point, but we pressed on. Here's the result. I don't think the mouse has a name.
What if Sleeping Beauty was visited by a couple of fortune hunters? And what if those fortune hunters got into an argument? Colin Garvey did a super job with this song, and I raise a glass to him. Many thanks to you, my friend.

Reach Out
Try and touch the things that fear you most
See how they can disappear as ghosts
Watch them fade away as you draw near,
Its coming clear
The pain behind the fear – is gone
Its time for you to start now feeling right
To feel you body…
thanks for taking the time to go through the tracks by the way.. is really appreciated. I love this one, and will be returning to your RPM album et al soon!

I think this was the first Blues I wrote, about 5 years ago.Changed the tempo & got my mate Dave to play harmonica on it. Thanks Dave.Listening to the old version, couldn't remember what I played so had to revamp it, old age!!! DOH !!!!!

With my buddy Tod's killer drum track! Miss all you guys, I can't keep up...
Created on the Boss Micro BR.
I'm a faker, a shaker
A melody maker

K.G. made gold with this one. words are oh so good. J.H. broke away from his bass and added a very nice banjo part. i did a little clapton bending . i think this is a magical moment for our band. we all came together at the end and did it! i hope…
A song to get up and dance to, much like you get and dance when someone whose loudly voiced opinions you don't share is sent packing. Narcissism and hero worship have no place in a civilized world. ;)

Totally pro.
I hear a vibratone! And I thought I was the only guy who had one. ;) *Great* song.
Ah, this DOES move very nicely. You are letting your Little Feat influence shine!
Excellent! Reminds me a bit of "Uneasy Rider" by Charlie Daniels, which is a song I have always wanted to cover.
"I climbed the mountain and the doubting started stopping."
I'm up dancing round the room! A extremely oh so fine trac! w;-)
LOL! Love the humor, then a brilliant vocal! This is excellent! w;-)
I like the high strummed parts interjected periodically with the fuzz parts. Moody number, and I don't mean a pun here. Good stuff.
This is brilliant.
I really like the turn you took this year Alex. This song has some very cool twists and turns. Really a great listen.
And all of a sudden, I realize there's a theme going on here. Love the brief interlude.
Another great rocker. Sweet.
Two of my favorite musicians in one song. Nice.
This is really inventive and cool song. I had to come back and listen twice, just to get a fix on all of the things going on.
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.
Kick-arse number, love the guitar. The vocals are primo, great high notes. This would be a great song to hear live in a club.
Really enjoy the blend of instruments in this very pretty song. Starts very much like Neil Young.
The sound and words and playing and singing style all work together really well here.
this is a great tune. dynamic and rockin. another sweet set of songs.
another good one!
