A frightening thing, to go from being a man to becoming a Lobster-man.
Now Gather around me hearties
For I've got a sad tale to be told
Hoist the colors ye bilge rats
The call rang out, we were off for gold
Grog in our bellies, horn-pipes…
I like the other songs of yours (those I've listened to so far) a little better, but this one sure is a very good song too. Nice listen. :)
Regards,
Steffen
If you'd described this to me I'd have said it'll never work...
... but it does!
It's one of my least favourite Beatles songs (and I'm a big Beatles fan), this has made me reconsider it as a song in itself. Nice one.

Great job! Please tell us a little bit about your songs. Who does what (singer/instruments/composition/production), and maybe what the story behind them is, if there is one.
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
Like Cave street says.....Blue Rodeo, thats a good comparison, and that is a high compliment indeed, one of the best loved Canadian bands out there....you done real good here Andy.
Vocals: Sabrina Doughty
Lyrics: Grant D. McLeman
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
This is the 2012 remix.
This song was based on a free-form lyric by Grant D. McLeman from Scotland. Quite a challenge ... :)

Classic Jazz ballad we recorded 2 years ago with my former jazz quartet. Enjoy and check out my page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Boris.Shpitalnik

Vocals: Tricia Dovidio
Lyrics: Bob Beckley
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).
An Original Hojo Riff, soon to be a classic. Recorded on Pro Tools featuring a '67 Tele and an acoustic Larrivee. The drum track needs help, any suggestions?
Guitars: Alina Yudaeva
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
This never turned out like I wanted it to be because I could not find a real drummer and bassist for it. But at least Alina was kind enough to play the lead guitar…
that's some vicious rhythm starting this but with a title like Vlad it could be nothing but.....great lead as always......liking that manic speed at about 2.30...impressive piece....

Another solid country-rock tune. Your songs should all be played on country radio.
This is one of my all time favourite songs (though I've never heard The Band's version). Great cover - love the backing vocals, really effective.
You are definitely a master of your trade. This song has a nice, foot-tapping rhythm. Regards, Steffen
Very cool song
Very nice country-rock. Country the way I like it - and that excludes a lot of country songs. :) Regards, Steffen

Is that Brina singing? Sounds great. Another cool song.
Superb, this album. The multi-instrumental approach is definitely a big strength, but the way everything forms a cohesive whole is really impressive.
oh good :)
you should send this one to Sade (for a small fee, of course :)
nice, sad little song - hat's off to the vocalist, too :)
Solid road trip feel. Welcome to AT
I like this a lot - very nice work :) It would make a nice film soundtrack, I think
