This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.

This is one of my favorite collaborations with Paul Lennon so far. I wrote the song with king of a bluesy feel, and then found a perfect marriage for the music with one of Paul's awesome tracks. Then we tinkered on it together to make it so…
Well the MN songwriters were in my living room tonight. We all shared our contributions to the "glass" songwriting challenge. Here's the live version of Poorly Blown Glass with Greg Connor on Guitar, Scott Zosel on Mandolin, Colin Walterson…
Here's the second one we did at the Winterland Studios. You'll hear Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, Colin W. on bass and vocals and Randy C. on piano. This was a blast! I think this is definitely the best version yet of this song.

Its dark outside and the wind does howl
The rain is coming up through the ground

The Other Side of Love
How long have you wandered
Between the night and day
And taken all the love that just
Came your way
But…
I'll Tell Me Ma is a folk song in the Irish tradition. I recorded it with acoustic instruments, multiple vocal tracks, and spoons for the main percussion, to give it that kitchen party feel!
I did it in the key of C. Not exactly normal, but…
How was Reg to know she was a plant....
Sexy Suzie
Its told sexy Suzie knows the story way to well
She looks you in the eye and your under that spell
The mystery of the meeting disappears from your mind
How could such a beauty ever be unkind…
I wrote this song after planting and fertalizing a crop of sudan grass just to have the sun shine down with no relief on it for 100 days and no rain. We, Texas Water, were heading home one night AFTER A GIG at Gringo's in Grapevine when the…

To the ground
Half a step
Then look around
I make an unsettling sound
Devil in the details
Music is the thing
The flatted fifth
Makes a diabolic ring

Sweet gentle song - nice.
Not everyone has a voice that so effortlessly conveys such depth live. Lovely.
I'm really digging the 'down home' vibe on this!
So sweet in it's apparent simplicity. Very difficult to pull off, you made it.
