This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…

This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
Nice version of a great old song...
Alex Harvey is regarded as the writer around here. Saw him at the Rubaiyat in Dallas back in 1975. More recently , at the Blue Bird in Nashville. He just came in unannounced with his buddies and sort of took over the place. Tanya Tucker was 13 when she recorded this song and it was what made her famous until she got too into her Elvis thing. Then Married Glen Campbell and that went real bad.

I like the Tanya Tucker version. I have to tell you this is pretty professional and all, but I sort of wish you guys had traded verses to sing rather than just lines. I wanted to hear the particular singer go on a little longer. But it is great cover of a great old song.

OK, I'm hooked. I just hit the replay button again.
Great vocal synergy between the two of you, and the resonator guitar . . . well . . . it just brings it over the top.

Ah! Tanya Tucker - that was the name!!
And, er, DAW? What DAW?! No DAWs in use here! lol
I usually synch vocals by singing them again until they're right... We didn't really have that luxury, though - in the end I've got quite fond of the "rough and ready" vibe on it (it did bug me at first!)

This is one of my favourite songs of Helen Reddy's (although that's already a cover of the Tanya Tucker version)!
Nice, bluesy rendition. :) The vocals are heavily out of sync though - you should fix that in your DAW.
Re-recorded an old one. I suppose it's my nod to all those black & white films I've seen on America from the '20s, '30s and '40s. And of course, old Johnny Cash films,like 'Walk the Line'
This was the very first Eugene Hammond track; indeed, the track that inspired me to start this up as a separate and distinct project from everything else in the first place. I revisited this track last month, rebuilding it from the ground up…
[this is the first recording I have made of this new song - on my iPhone - just as the words were taking share. Hope to recorded a more robust version for the next RPM. Enjoy folks!]

I sat watching Tom Jones on BBC4 this evening and thought i'd try and write him a song now i just have to find his management meet up with Tom sign a contract and get him to sing it then i should make a few bob...well it is Christmas you've gotta…

I put the music together last weekend ... my friend and bandmate Rob George did the bass track for me last Saturday ... I used my godin acoustic electric for the guitars ... did the vocals this morning and wish I had more time for the mix…
Oh yeah... Just been typing "too many chrimbo songs, hrmppph..." in an email...
And then this little beauty comes out of my speakers. SUPERB song and recording. Big thumbs up from me on this one...
And I've even faved it! (Don't tell Mrs R!)
This groovy song was written by the great Jimmy Smith.
Project Wakerobin is:
Kevin Gerzevitz - Hammond Organ
Jason Stewart - Guitar
Marc Carmi Smith - drums
This is a song I wrote with a heavy heart following the Columbine shooting. At the time I felt that the timing just wasn’t right to put it out there.
I am not one to shove religion down anyone’s throat. Personally, I feel the true spiritual journey…

I like it a bunch.....So did Kimmy
Beautiful Andrew!
Splendid.

A couple of pros. Nice track ya'll.
Sneaking some collab action in. Nice , oh so very nice! Makes me happy to hear this. ;)
Nice job, wonderful harmony.....
Spectacular vocals & harmonies , just so good - a wonderful pairing guys

Great sound :)

Fab' vocals and a spotless production make a great song!

Your original songs are the best ones. Great stuff, Andy!

Love it.
Nice relaxed vibe.
Yep, that rocks along nicely :)
Woof! nearly skipped this one (what with 12 minutes written on it). SO glad I didn't. Loved how it built and then took me off places.
Nice one. Looking forward to hearing the more robust version.
Like it. Love the jangly acoustics.
Second listen for me - I was distracted first time - loving the skipping feel.

Smooth
Oooh yeah
Mighty fine song.
Ooops, dropped me plectrum in the eggnog... :) xxxxx
Nice one
Another goodie. Well meaty. Fab bass sound. And I can almost see the dry ice and back projections while I'm listening. Love the frogs lol
Oh yeah, big guitar sound - love how you get that from acoustics.
A magnificent performance. You guys work so well together - always feels like I'm in the room watching/listening.
Aahh... So glad there's some more stuff from you guys. This is mighty fine. Hits the spot for me.
Oh yeah, get some words. Sounds great.
Well this made me turn the speakers up! Rockin...
Oh this is just magical. Love it.
