You again with Neil! Well, again...a cool rendition of a NY tune.

Excellent. Neil would approve

Not a NY guy, but this is an excellent interpretation of his stuff.

Nicely done

Yes, I'm back! I actually didn't go anywhere. I just am slower to get things learned and recorded these days. But I'll keep posting songs as I finish them. Thanks for the encouraging words, Mike!

Tom is back! Didn't know this one at all and had to go have a listen to Neil's. You gave this cover more than justice. Very good and hope you share more with us soon.

another cool track .cheers ....tony cee

great cover tom, love it ,.....cheers tony cee

Kidding aside...I like the new vox. Very Tom Waites. Better than what I could (did) do.

@isband Seems this one might be my first recording to get the Voldemort treatment

We were not to speak of this again....

Very Cool Tom!... great tone!... I love it!..Ha..I dont even want to haunt this place!..great lyric!

Sounds great, T! Tho I might not be adverse to dying in Bloomington. ;)

Thank you for the kind words @tonycee!

nice cover , love your guitar work ......cheers tony cee

Took me a "long long time" to discover this song, but I'm so glad I was finally able to thanks to the amazing third episode of "The Last of Us." Thank you for the kind words, Colleen!

Nice! One of my all time favorite songs. Your vocals are great!

A trance inducing tune -- engaging stuff! Nice work here, Steve!

A menacing vibe to parts of this one and yet there is some rays of hope that shine through every once in awhile. Quite epic. Makes me think of some of the current events that have been going on in my country recently. Excellent work here, Steve!

I definitely tried to go for a natural approach and that has its pros and cons. There are a few word salads in this song that I stumbled through but at least it's authentic and authenticity was key with this one. Thanks, as always, for listening and providing the kind feedback, Steve!

Thanks, as always for listening and for the kind feedback, Steve! It's kind of scary to strip everything away and really expose one's voice and playing. So it's kind of a relief that what I did here still turned out sounding okay.

I really like how you took the essence of what Buckethead did with this song and funneled it through your lens!

Fun stuff, Steve! I love the speaker rattling bass and the crisp drum sound you got going on here. I'm tempted to craft some lyrics and melodies to this one, once I finish moving.

Thanks, Steve! I tried to go real lo fi on this one -- no overdubs. I figured I was due for some optimism in my song choices after recording all of Beck's Sea Change.

You definitely did a great job capturing Buckethead's propensity to mix in improv with more structured songs (in this case, "Jowls"). It would be super cool to hear you try out "Scraps," should you feel the desire to give another Buck song a go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvUGTmaKWTg

Dude! I love everything about this. Amazing stuff, Steve!

I felt downright awful as I was recording this song, "Already Dead," and "Side of the Road," so maybe my state of mind and body at the time added an additional charge to these songs? Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed them and I appreciate your ongoing encouragement, Steve!

A thoughtfully constructed and genuinely performed song, Steve. I particularly appreciate that way the violin and acoustic guitar interweave throughout. Nice job!

I'm glad that my recent run of Beck songs resonates with you, Steve! There's a therapeutic quality to them and I think that aspect manifests in the way I translate Beck's vocals. It's a nice bonus that it's somehow enjoyable for others, such as you, to listen to.

As my old Algebra teacher used to say: Keep It Simple, Stupid! I've found that some of the best songs are the most simple. Glad to hear that this approach has translated well to your ears, Steve. Thanks, as always, for listening.

Indeed, the chord changes were sometimes a bit tricky, but I think I managed to practice them well enough to get a finished product out there without too much trouble. Thanks, as always, for the kind feedback, Steve!

Love the funky bass in this one, Steve! My only "complaint" (if you want to call it that) is that I wish it were a little longer. That said, what you've made here sticks in the listener's mind far longer than its 1 and half minute run time might suggest, so I can see how one could argue the length is perfect.

Spot on insights, Steve! I think the author of the song was drawing on Thomas Mann's "Magic Mountain," particularly its meditation on the subjective nature of time. For example, time sometimes can seem to stand still when spending time with those we hold most dear.

Thanks for the comments, Guest. A log cabin sounds lovely - I hope it is everything you hope it is.

Thanks for listening and for your feedback, @TheProods. Calling this a Peanut Butter Cup is a good summation of my collaborations with DoktorDoktor. From a distance you might think we wouldn't be compatible, but, once you get past any initial reservations, you realize we make a surprisingly good combination, haha!

Aptly titled--I definitely was stomping along to the rhythm of this song. You mix a nice contrast of styles here. Well done, Steve!

Thanks for listening so closely, Steve! I was definitely going for something more emotional here, so it's cool that you caught that.
