Plenty of overdubs, but no samples, loops, or what have you. Treefrog on the drums, me on the rest of it. Thanks for the comment, Star, and welcome to Alonetone! ~ Michael

Very peaceful groove! Did you record the instrumentals live or produce them through software?

Oh yes, super cool!

Out of sight........FN Excellent man. I love this song.

That's a real Beaut man!

This is great! Oh that voice!

Wonderful stripped down arrangement - masterful vocals, of course.

Great track mate top vocals. Great playing mate.

smooth playing....sounds good!

Amen, brother.

One of my favorites. Then again, they are all my favorites. Great tune bro.

Conjures up a dark image in my mind. I wish I could shoot the video for this one. She would be wearing black.

Real nice atmospheric feel here. Smooth and deep. Def not a throwaway. PS. I put up the lyrics to my "Cricket Song" for your viewing pleasure. Thanks.

Nice experimental track

Very nice sweet song.

Oh I love your lyrics. Great song and your vocal as usual.

Beautiful.

Great lyrics and vocals man!

still think your vocals sound like mark lanegan. You got that mysterious folk sound. If you don't listen to him, listen to him. The winding sheet from around 1990 atleast.

Great vocals mate top track. All round good one.

Hey thanks for sharing your music! I didn't comment on every track, but I listened to the whole thing as I was working around the house. Nice range of material -- I definitely enjoyed it!

The writing reminds me of classic Elton John -- I really like the blend of instruments on this track.

Love this track!

Wow, great anthemic album closer!! Top notch! Your music is an excellent addition to the alonetone community, thanks for sharing. I hope you will consider uploading your older music too. Peace, Michael

Great album!! All songs are top-notch & radio ready, but this one is my favorite of the batch... reminiscent of some of my favorite Americana tunes. Great hook, great harmonies!

"never quite as perfect as I'd like it to be" yeah, I know exactly what you mean, but this record of yours was a really fun listen. I'm off to check out other new RPM releases, but I'll be back to check out more of your back catalog. Thanks for sharing!

Another fave!!

I've been listening to this album as I've been cleaning up around the house & making lunch. A lot of neat ideas on this album! I like the loud messy bits as much as some of the other directions you go in -- so far, this is one of my favorites.

Very nice, laid back RPM 2013. Such a subtle album, I have the feeling this album will reward repeated listening. Thanks for sharing!

Nice one, Brett! I don't know how you come up with some of this stuff, but don't ever stop!!

Classic Bee!! This one has a smile plastered on my face, for sure. Thanks for sharing this Geas.

Jarrett, this is such an amazingly good record, it's another one of those RPMs that I have a hard time believing it was written and recorded in four weeks. Your songwriting, singing, playing and recording are all at a pro level. I mean, I would not be surprised to hear any one of these tunes on the radio. Just excellent. In fact, I feel awkward about criticizing this record in any way as you are a much more talented musician than I could ever hope to be, but I do have one critique: the only thing I would change is the overall loudness. With the exception of "Echoes of Waves," I had to turn this record way down because the loud parts were actually painful to listen to. Not in a sheer volume sort of way, but in a makes my ears work way too hard sort of way. I'm assuming this is something that happened in the mastering process. It's just that having to turn my listening volume down so low pretty much kills the excellent dynamics you have written into these tunes. I hope you don't take offense at these comments, because I truly am blown away at the talent on display here -- just my 2 cents on how you could actually improve upon something that is already so impressive. Thanks for sharing these songs with us! - Michael

Great album Keith, I really feel your sequencing of the songs created a great build. And this last track proves you don't need to collab to make excellent music (but then, we knew that already).

Just a great vibe, and comes at a perfect time in the course of this album -- a neat little "surprise play" if you will....

This one is just superb, Keith! You really made the most of your RPM with all these first-class collabs!

Yup, still awesome! :-)

I listened to this album last night three or four times in a row... back this morning for more. I admit I am just getting started with checking out all the 2013 RPM entries, but so far this is far and away my favorite. This will be downloaded and burned to disc before the end of the day -- as always, thanks for sharing!!

Boy, I can identify with this one from days gone by.... but while these days are a little less "exciting" I do tend to get where I'm going much quicker. ;-) Great tune JMT, keep 'em coming!

Most excellent, Stu! I'm looking forward to hearing some band tracks... do you have something posted under a different account?

Excellent album, but of course you all know that already! It's hard to imagine anyone writing and recording such a great record in such a short period, but once again you have pulled it off -- I especially liked the second half of the album. This will get many more plays around here!
