There's a lovely sense of endless time in this - it works well with the drone

1 second late lol...really cool!

Man i just can't get enough of this song. Hurdy-gurdy me another time ;)

<3

Thanks for the comments! I've now upped a different mix with a hurdy-gurdy sample.... not exactly what I had in mind, but you get the idea. Let me know if you or someone you know plays a hurdy gurdy, and we'll do it right.

listening to this album ,, I like the blue-mars effect :)

Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.

The guitar is killer! Great great great!

Sweet! good job guys!!!!!

Oh yeah! Waiting for more! Great beats and cool guitar in perfect unison! This is gonna be beautiful, guys! Tess

Great job both of you. This is great nice guitar. Brilliant.

Great tune and guitar , had to fav it.

uh yeah!!! great groove - i had the strong urge to lay along, and may have to later. i like lot's of layers and this has it.

Ohhh, I like what you've done with this! Beautiful string work here. Many thanks!

Wonderful stuff man! Love the percussion

Had to log back in to fav this one. Cant help but think of Lou Reed a little here.

I'm not so sure the tunes selected by Ramen music necessarily reflect the popular vote as demonstrated by Alonetone "most favorited", etc. And it is a thankless job, inherently biased, to make selections for Ramen Music. I don't envy the position of the editors. Alas, that was historically one of the problems that lead to the demise of other record labels... In any case, don't let it work on your head. You have a sizeable fan base and we LOVE what you are producing. Now, return to your studio and get back to work: we are hungry for more!

Amen. It just doesn't always feel like it from our perspective. But thanks for reminding me again.

I'm certain I faved this. That's 2 I have found this morning! Love this track too!

Ohhhhhh Michael!!

Yes, Jason Deptula on cello!

Oh man, this one is really moving!

Way cool song, I like the changes and the set up for the solo break -- the drums are very 'in your face' but I'm sure I will appreciate the mix more when I play this on my home system instead of my work machine!

Heavy WeeN vibes!! I was wrong, THIS one is my favorite & my new ear-worm!! Dig that solo mang. Gener would be proud!

As great as the previous songs were, I think this one is my favorite. Such a funky groove & then that descending progression had me hooked, but then that bass breakdown just puts it over the top!

Last song? Ever?? The hell you say! No way man, this has a great riff, funky bass, vocal harmonies. You need to put together a band and bring this stuff into a live setting!

OMG, these titles are cracking me up! Is the best singing you've ever done? Definitely the most emotive! Wow, Dave you really do keep getting better each year. I wonder if not having Olivia recording with you this year somehow inpired you push yourself? And again, I'd really love to be able to read the lyrics!

Great solo, Dave!! Put those lyrics up when you get a chance! This somehow reminds me a little bit of Psychic Ills, like maybe something from their Inner Journey Out record. Whatever, it's a cool stoney vibe!!

Holy crap, "Morganite and quartz are intertwiiiined...." is an ear-worm that's gonna haunt me!

Thanks for the spins & comments, y'all. @Dweeb, this is an old track from 2020. I tried multiple takes of this song.... not sure if this version was a vocal overdub or not, I'd have to find the old master tracks to figure it out. I found this on my old laptop when cleaning up desktop files the other night. I wrote/recorded this in April of 2020, not long after John Prine passed away. I guess it was kind of my tribute to him.

Oh, I missed this one till now. Digging the acoustic vibe.

And so it begins. Again. :-) Have fun!!

Darn it now I'm hungry. Mmmm, gulab jamun. I think I say every year that it's your best record ever, but I really do think you get better each year!! Keep on rockin'!!

Now this is too damn catchy! And that harp!!! Tasty!

More excellent guitar work, and another great bass line! This is surely your best record ever, Dave!!

Rippin solo on this one. Yoga rock, who'd a thunk it?!

Well now ya hit me right in the feels -- when you sing "hungry and alone" I'm felling that. And more brown guitar stylings... always a good thing. This one's heavy, hope your gonna lift us back up after this!

Dave, you & Olivia have knocked this out of the park. Some of your best instrumental work with regard all the layers of sound, great arrangement! Do I detect a slightly brown influence on this track?

Holy Moly!!! This record is off to a great start, but this is easily my favorite song so far, and an all-time favorite Dweeb track!!! GLAA DEEE OOO LAS!!!!

Love hearing y'all sing together & the harmonica break! (And I'm probably wrong, but it seems like Mario 3 fits?)
