I did this weeks ago & then found it again last night as I was archiving old files. This is one of those one-off improv sessions... I recorded the rhythm guitar in one pass, then one "lead" pass and then one vocal pass, and done. Even the…
At one point, I had a version recorded with much better guitar -- at least I thought I did -- but I can't find it now...

This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…
Naw that aint Africa Thats Ayers rock,Australia. The Bering reef is a bit North. I'd steal this but I dont think I could add any thing useful. Mighty Fine
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary
First just a…
She hangs a little garden
so everyone can fit in her yard
when it's time to take tea
fills it up when they're walking about
they really knew how to twist and shout
and they're always going back that way again

This one rewards repeated listening... (I especially love the instrumental break before the last verse). I'd like to put this tune on our community radio station, if you don't mind. (WUTZ radio, 88.3 in Summertown, TN) ~ Let me know if that's okay.

A quickly improvised tune with some stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Written/recorded hastily in the dead of night on Tuesday 11/27 with a short overdub session on Thursday 11/29, when I should have been sleeping.
All basic tracks…
Hey, thanks Reg. I'll try to keep it open... I recently moved all my music/recording gear from my cramped bedroom to my son's old room now that he's at university. This was the first 1/2 way decent thing I recorded since I set up in here. I'm gonna try to keep things rolling so I'll be warmed up for RPM 2013! :-) Peace.
Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…
Excellent, PAL! Now get back in there & send me that tempo track for Blue! :-)
Much love,
~Tennessee Tea
PS - I really like when the drums drop out about 2:30 in....
I like your recent live take on this you posted, I'd really like to see this lyrics posted for this.... This is a great track!
*great harmonica too!*
Peace, Michael
A rough and ready audience recording of my set at open mic night at Queens Park Centre, Aylesbury.
Setlist:
Stand Up But Not To Fall
Revolution
All Was Nothing
Colin, I just tried to post a track by track commentary on this, and it just disappeared. Rather than trying to recreate it, let me just say thanks for posting this live performance. Well done indeed, sir! I hope to hear more of this kind of thing...

Hey Colin! Good on ya! While the sound quality isn't exactly stellar, it's quite good enough to hear the intensity & emotion of the performances. I'm glad you posted this!
Stand: Wow, an oldie to start.. it really starts to hit me about a minute in -- nice performance!
Revolution: Love the intro - excellent performance, a timely resurrection...
All was nothing: Another great composition; I can see why you're still playing it 10 years on, though I hope the hurt has healed!
I love the chord changes & would appreciate being able to read the lyrics for all these tracks!
Thanks again for putting this up, I'd like to hear more live tracks from you & the others on this site.
Cheers,
Michael
A rather flat version of an original instumental jam played live as a four piece in the studio.we played reserved compared to normal renditions. others wanted this on the album, i voted no. we made our 35 minutes. thank god!
We've all met them! Haha. Got a bit of a rocky head on doing this.

With summer in full swing, and festivities nearby, I often think about how others across the globe celebrate their summers.
I hadn't been able to post much lately because I managed a composer contract for a game, and have been helping a local…
this was one of our first takes of the month. still in search of a mix at this point in the month. my personal low point because i forgot my lyric notes and really cut my words short and didnt sing or deliver well. i highly believe in moving on…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
Great stuff man.Love these one off improvs
Mark,s pop
Very emotive... Reminds me of Dylan mixed with Mark Lanegan, with some Waits on the side...
Great song, great vibe, great structure. Thanks for listening to my music as well. I like your style in this. ^.^
NICE ... You really hit the Mark!

Great atmosphere!
My first name means, 'Cave dweller'... So I could see living on Cave Street!! This song has ethereal qualities to it...
Can't disagree with Norm....Excellent.....
Excellent!
Oh Michael, I am reduced to putty! Sounding super, I would have thought it is finished.
What Gumbo said. Good stuff man!
good stuff - especially the vocal tone - lovely!
Brilliant mate.
One for my Cave Street collection.
Chilling! I love it when you just pickup your guitar and jam. Great storytelling ole' buddy.
Lovely feel to this. Gentle ambience. Terrific.
Dig it!!

This sounds like a tribal gathering. Perfect background for a moonlit African night.

I like this a lot! Very spacey & meditative & then that last minute gets intense... Dig the vibra-slap!
Well, *I* like it! :-)
This rocks!! Reminds of Bevis Frond without all the psychedelic noodling. Well done
Nice tune, bad situation. Good luck stopping this...
Great work, guys! We need more tracks like this
this is a cool track
Welcome to alonetone! I like the changes in this song...
nice one!
parts of this remind me of something from Michael Hedges' taproot album.... nice track!
double yes
