More from the archives. This was the opening cut on Scartaglen's 1986 album "The Middle Path". A double jig, a slip jig, and 2 reels. I played bouzouki and Uilleann pipes on this cut
Down on the bayou, waiting forthe night
See the sun set in the west, waiting for the car headlight
Waiting for the boysand girls to come
Bringing the moonshine down
And all those other shades of fun
Moonshine fever its haunting me
Moonshine…
Is this autobiographical? I feel like I hardly know you 😆
Oh, I just got to the lead break. ..... very nice.
Another foot tapper. You just keep cranking them out. By the way, I used to live and drive Hwy 23 every day for years.
ABOUT LUANNE capo @ 2 in Am 1st note - E
Am G F E repeats
Luanne’ll take you down
But she don’t use muscle
She’s found some of your pieces
And she wants to solve your puzzle
Dm
She wants you to be happy
Am
And it bugs her that…
It’s an exceptional piece... I like pieces that “bother” and flip a phrase to a point... this one intrigues me....
You must keep writing James!!! Hope to cross paths again soon...

Can you hide in happiness
Can you disguise the sadness in your voice
Could you play only major chords
Can you hide in happiness
Choose a part of you to show
And no one around you can know
Just how deep the scars go
Can you hide in…
Can you hide in happiness
Can you disguise the sadness in your voice
Could you play only major chords
Can you hide in happiness
Choose a part of you to show
And no one around you can know
Just how deep the scars go
Can you hide in…
Converting a picture of birds on wires to music. This is a version where I added some lo-fi effects and some off-kilter drums and bass to turn it into a track.
High in the mountains
Above the falls and fountains
In the rarified air
You know ill care
Just for you, just for you
In the blue fiords
Seeking no rewards
In the darkest caves
My loves across the waves
Just for you, just for you…
Master Version 2
Instincts- which were the memories of his ancestors become habits

I love the fill at 1:40 that sounds like it should build into a nice hard vibrato Kim Thayil solo. The bridge that kicks in at 2:16 is an excellent addition to a solid theme. My only gripe is the crash being panned hard left. I think it either needs less extreme panning or some reverb panned half way to the right to help balance its place in the mix.

Can't understand why I didn't favorite this years ago. Beautiful!

Wow, just...wow. This is a 'close your eyes and just listen without distraction' song.
Well, that was absolutely perfect. Pure, luscious perfection.
Such a catchy chorus! At times you really remind me of Eleanor Friedberger.
I love hearing you embrace your pop sensibilities. Another home run.
Wow. This is really great. The key are perfect and the affected vocal sounds amazing. And then some perfectly placed drum bits. Well done!
Hitchcockian!
Cool!
A feeling-good kind of song!
You rock my man pussy!
I'm getting that Soundgarden vibe again :) Great jam.
