..dynamic vocal and slowed down bluesy essence..don't know why you bother with all the other instrumentation when you breath life into a song the way you do with just a bit of plunkin' 'n' gruntin' ..excellent..

Yep, I was kind of going for 70s (early-mid 70s Slade was in my mind - bass and vocals, the rest fits where it can). I actually feared I had the drums TOO upfront for that!! lol
I tried and failed with a lot of percussion too - I felt it needed it. There's some tambourine, and some voices doing shaker noises - but none of it was good enough to come too high in the mix. What I really wanted was some clapping, but that didn't work at all!

70's rock all down the line. I love the background vocals and all the guitar work.
I think the drums could be more upfront, and I can imagine some percussion too. That would be the icing on the cake.
But anyway, a great song! Very well done.
I kinda like this one, although the cutting and pasting sounds really obvious to my ears. I usually try and get my punches cleaner than this, but I seemed to be slacking on this day. The lyrics are part of my current atheist bent. The guitars…
Not sure about the mix for this one. My left ear hears much better than my right, and I do all of my work with headphones. Sometimes when I have two doubled tracks split left/right I end up having a hard time keeping them balanced. I over compensate…
It was about time I got on with musical expression. This song is about our interconnectedness. Our identity. Serious mystic stuff eh? Yeah - wait until you hear it - haha.

My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.

It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…
This one was recorded back in 2011 but I never posted it. I took a listen to it recently and liked what I heard with fresh ears. It's another of my surf tunes which I enjoy making from time to time.
I suppose you could call this a Lament of sorts, I call it a bit of fun, and it was fun to record. Thanks Aimee, ( my daughter ) for the new strings for my birthday. they came in useful !!!!!
:)
I listened before the "About" was in. I was thinking "why can't I write happy songs like this?" ... and then the verse after the instrumental arrived and put it right in the same ballpark as the lyrics I'd just been typing up!!!
This is an April song. It's bad enough that I think it might be completely ripped off of a 2013 RPM song, but the mix turned into a sloppy mess. I might remix it, but then again I might just give up. The lyrics are about our failed attempt…
This song marks two milestones in my silly little music recording existence. First it is the very first time I recorded a song that used electric guitars that only used a Fender guitar. When I bought the Strat last weekend this was the only…
My cover / tribute to the Led Zeppelin masterpiece.
It's a song I turned to in the early days of teaching myself to play guitar 30 years ago and I've always been a bit obsessed by it.
Done for the songcrafters.org Zepfest.
Enjoy
I was listening to the two Jack Bruce/Robin Trower records from 1981. I was sort of digging the whole aging-white-guys-making-a-show-of-being-funky vibe and decided to steal it. The result is this cheese ball of a 12-bar.

Nice!
Passionate, emotional, gripping, and huge - all words found in my dictionary to describe this. Thanks, Andrew. G:)
Great vocals! and a real FEEL version of a great tune ...
a really really nice retelling of a great song!! your vocal and playing is so rich
Epic, your vocals are quite theatrical (in a good way) :)
Back again....
This would bring the room down! Set it on fire! Killer!
..dynamic vocal and slowed down bluesy essence..don't know why you bother with all the other instrumentation when you breath life into a song the way you do with just a bit of plunkin' 'n' gruntin' ..excellent..
One of my favorite songs too! I like how you belted it out. That's the ticket. You can feel the grit in there. Well Done!
Epicly awesome! Great hook! Great lines! No stinker! G:)
Getting into the groove. Quality across the board! Cheers, A! G:)
Hi Andrew, another winner. This has it all, vocals,playing and production. Love it.

Her hunting crop....love the lyrics...;)

Hey, really rocking tune! I love the leads especially the dueling guitars. Great melody and nice backing vox.
Awesome!
Ahhh yes.

Keep generating it!! Like it.
More very tasty guitars... I can't hear anything that sounds like a dirty punch to me, though :)
Well, balance of the gits feels pretty good to me (I am listening in my "mixing" headphones though!!). Cool playing :)
Oh yes. Gorgeous sounds... more fun like this needed!
Nice one. Like it.
I listen to this quite often - spose I better listen to it again now! You knows I loves it, don't yer? :-)
:) x
Oh yes, glad you dusted this one off.
A fine set of songs, sir! :)
I'd forgotten the extremely cool guitars in the instrumental - good to hear again.
Woo! a new one - like it.
Wot? No comments?
Yeah :)

Or maybe you won't! (Sell the Gibsons)
Like it. You know you're gonna sell your Gibsons, don't you?... hehe
I was doubtful about how this would work (I've been a bit obsessed by it too) - now I'm sorry for doubting you!! NICE version. Love the piano outro.
Ha Ha Ha!! Ya crazy buggers Wonderful version
Headphones on... RAWK!! Hey! I didn't fave it first time...
Works for me! (aging-white-guy)
