Your best song so far - IMO. And all the others were great too. But this one has that wonderful blues-gospel feel that grips you from the very first note.
I'll listen to this song a lot more times, no doubt about that.

Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.
I decided to go a different route…
Thanks Andrew. Glad you enjoyed the album. I was pretty happy with it for my first RPM and my first real dabble into that style of playing. I will be swinging back by to check out your tracks!

This is a good song played well, and I really dig your gritty vocals! I'll have to post some of my blues stuff. It's not much different than what you're doing
A few months back we had a "Beatlesfest" on songcrafters.org.
I contributed this and Yesterday.
This one's a bit of a departure for me. Not the song itself - it's been one of my favourites ever since I was tiny (I preferred Robin Gibb's…

I still can't believe I covered this... having done it though, it feels like nothing is sacred. And, more worryingly, I feel I might possibly…

When I tell people I am a terrible singer, this is what I'm talking about. Listening to myself here is making my teeth ache.
This was the first idea I had for the April 2020 RPM Challenge - Social Distance Edition. I used a 1x12 combo amp…
I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0ygixKAno
When I get down by the river and I watch it flow
I Wonder where the hell it finally goes
Snaking…
Wow. That works. Really uplifting.
We've only got slugs down the bottom of our garden. And the top. And a lot of snails in the middle. No ants though - they all seem to have moved into the house in the last few days...
This one came to me as I was sleeping on a plane, delayed on a tarmac. I dreamt that McCartney was singing this, sort of. I came out of the dream abruptly when the pilot said we were finally cleared to take off. I racked my brain to figure out…
Reminds me of a song called Scrambled Eggs ;)
(That's the blurb, not the song itself)
And strangely, I can hear McCartney singing this too... lol
Love the little horn part on the end!
This one came solely as the chorus melody and the basic hook "So I'll sing my song for Carolina" It's all I had for months, but I thought it was a good chorus line so I kept humming it to see if it would sprout further ideas. The mid section is…
This one started as the verse chords and some rambling vox melody. My demo of just gtr and me mumbling resulted in something vaguely Lennon-esque in delivery, so I kept that aspect and took it further for the mid section. The harmonies in the…
The word agony and the basic melody for the first line came first. I sat on it for a while, then one evening tried to figure out the chords for it. The verse chords followed very quickly, effectively falling out of the gtr after I had discovered…
A total gtr inspired tune. The riff came first and I knew it needed thunderous drums. The rest fell into place. I envisioned this one being very Top of The Pops on a Saturday in 1971, or Granada TV in summer of' 70, depending on your point of…
I have never written a song about the RPM Challenge itself, until now. Have we really been here for 15 years? It needed to be fun, it needed to be a great dance number. I had the gtr riff, and realized it would be even better as a horn line. The…
Home from work for 9 days. How is everyone doing? Stay safe and have fun on this weird global time off! got a new FX peddle , super octave, that im using here instead of a bass guitar.
Enjoy! Reef
It's ok.
136 BPM Standard Tuning
If anyone is interested in trying their own lead on this track let me know i will upload just the backing track.
Take care everyone and stay safe
Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
Haven’t uploaded any material in ages! I have been building custom guitars which has been taking up some of my spare time. This track features my first guitar build which I am playing over a backing track.
This was a collab between my old friend Joe and I from a couple years ago. I recorded the basic track and sent it to him so he could play the main melody/ guitar solo over it. I took the ending of the guitar solo section and reversed it to give…

Great, great song. The slide is perfect. Love the soulful vocal delivery.
My beer is all blurry ....
Your best song so far - IMO. And all the others were great too. But this one has that wonderful blues-gospel feel that grips you from the very first note. I'll listen to this song a lot more times, no doubt about that.
Love the dual guitar attack here!!!!
Wow, guys, that's a TREMENDOUS improvement on an already pretty impressive track. I love it. Great job!
Thanks Andrew. Glad you enjoyed the album. I was pretty happy with it for my first RPM and my first real dabble into that style of playing. I will be swinging back by to check out your tracks!
awesome blues tune! killer vocals and guitar.
Damn fine slide work!
Great vocal.... a polished performance.....
Cool blues. Slide guitar really shines.
As Cuthbut says Tasty very Tasty........
Tasty blues, Andy!
Oh that's the blues alright :)
This is a good song played well, and I really dig your gritty vocals! I'll have to post some of my blues stuff. It's not much different than what you're doing
Wow so far all of your covers's are ace! ...so worth the listens....are you sure your not related to Jack Johnson?
This is sweet!
Any Beatles cover gets my best wish! i really like this man!
Sweet Blues! hell yea!!
Love the slide guitar!
Too cool!! Nice slide!

Dug this. Loved the lead break. And the vocals are a lot better than you think they are. My teeth aren't aching at all!

Have I heard this before? Don't seem to have commented before... I do seem to have favourited it... But anyways... Omigosh :)
Another utterly fabulous set of songs Mr Fox. Well done, big time.
Rocking. Am I imagining it, or is there a backing vocal that sounds like someone other than you?
Reminds me of a song called Scrambled Eggs ;) (That's the blurb, not the song itself) And strangely, I can hear McCartney singing this too... lol Love the little horn part on the end!
Run out of words to type... Wow
Yep. LOVED this one.
Love it. The lyrics are fabulous. I don't often notice lyrics on a first listen, but wow... Fab song
Woof! Yes
Love how you converted the guitar riff to horns - masterful decision (says a guitarist)
That works. Nice one.
Yep. Stay safe :)
Nice and laid back.
Oh yeah. Cool playing.
Nice one
Made me smile there Greg
Wow. That's mightily cool.
Mighty fine playing.
That's cool. The reversed solo at the end works really well.
