This one started while I was commenting All I Do Is Cry ... and it didn't grab me initially. But when I started concentrating... crumbs, this excellent. Really interesting melody and chords, and boy does he navigate his way around it well. I had to click favourite by the time it finished! Brilliant.

A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010. It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...

Ah... I heard this the other day, didn't I? I've got two more of yours to go at the moment, but this is my personal FAVOURITE so far. I assume it's Tricia Dovidio on the vocal again? I think I loves her voice and delivery... :-)

Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year. I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…

Haven't listened to this wonderful song in a while although I have it on my mp3 player (like all your other songs too). Great to hear this beauty again.

Like the song, love the song, but you're right, I think there's a better a mix in there - it's almost like the lead vocal dominates the track too much... try thinning him out a bit mebbe? Seems a shame to do it though, he's got such a good rich voice :-)

Oh yeah, this is a special one. He's an excellent lead vocalist, absolutely superb. The song stays sung when he's sung it! Not so convinced that he ought to do his own bvox based on this one though? I felt his lead wanted a different texture to go with it. Having said that though - wow! The song, the performances, the recording... Superb :-)

My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…

I knew i'd be blown away! It's like late 60's Temptations. Man, you got those Soul Man chops nailed. I'm VERY impressed.

I couldn't get anything right today so I just mashed through a guitar track and overlayed vocals. But now I kind of like the song so it will have to be redone. So sit back and relax, don't shower or shave and have a beer! Swill A Beer I sit…

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).

Oh yeah... love this. I quite like songs that don't have a fixed tempo - sounds more natural to me... but they're a pain to overdub to though!! I'm with Mr Landry - where do you find all these vocalists?!! I particularly like this one.

I'm getting a much better idea of "stoman" listening to tracks one after the other on here. You have no fear of genres/whatever - write the song, get the right dudes on... job done :-) Another classy one.

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 ... :)

He did a fine job (vocal). I like the relaxed vibe of the track. It's one of those songs that needs a decent performance to bring it out - I think you guys achieved it. Love that organ when it comes in.

Well, this one pushes my buttons... "When the red dawn sings it's sad song and warns us what's to come..." - brilliant. Lovely voice and a compelling performance.

Another proof that a good voice needs nothing more than a guitar or a piano.
