Steve Krell (SLKrell) and I have been feuding over the same girlfriend for a while now. In fact, there are several songs about her on Alonetone. Here is the latest in the story:

Inspired by Last Week's Winter Storm where the only people out driving around in it were the people trying to prove Darwin's theory of Natural Selection.
Vocal addition by Colleen Dillon. Colleen also suggested the topic *"Winter Tune…
I've been teasing Steve (SLKrell) about Rose, from Las Cruces Nevada, ever since he wrote a song about her for Valentines Day a few years ago.
Rosie is a figment of our imagination. I wrote a song about stealing her away from Steve:

Two hours before morning light
Highway signs go by all night
Open window to catch the breeze
Helps me clear my cluttered mind
Road noise rumbling through the floor
Been on this road once or twice before
My mind is racing up ahead

Magic!!!, I' am not sure why but I am getting an image of the scene where they are travelling in their little VW van in Field Of Dreams, it just conjures up that image, would fit well in the film I think, nice simple song, nothing too brash or too loud, I'll keep an eye out for more :)
I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.
Originally written for a song writing challenge using the phrase *"Chicken Plucking Time In Petaluma"*
Just danced around the kitchen to this one with my little grandson Rory. He loved it! And then he fell off to a happy sleep. Thanks Greg!!! We needed the perfect song and this was it tonight!

That one is getting added to my collection of late night highway cruising tunes. Wish I'd had it when I used to drive all night between gigs in your general neck of the woods. Don't have that much use for the collection these days, but ya never know.

Nobody knows, nobody knows the pain You suffered
No one can know, can truly know the pain You suffered
The pictures show You hanging from The Cross

I wrote the lyrics and melody to this song a week or so ago when I was feeling that unsettling disconnected feeling we all get from time to time when we're missing the people we love.... Then I gave myself the challenge to try a few things with…
A new song, still just a sketch, recorded live at Winterland studios for my demo. Story about a guy living in Tuscon, AZ, lamenting the irony of the beauty and hardship of living in the desert.
Fellow alone toner Gary Talbott kindly volunteered to add some of his own vocals and strings to this song, so I gladly took him up on it. Fun to keep evolving this one. Thanks Gary!
I was up early this morning before the children so i got me and Les to do and ad-lib song in one take....i wish i had turned the mic down a bit as you can hear me hitting the strings but hey its a kind of percussion...isn't it?

I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers.
Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.

This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

A BIG, BIG thank you to Wildgeas who took my simple acoustic guitar song and turned it into a beautiful work of art. Arrangements and Production done magnificently by Paul Lennon (Wildgeas). Also, special thank you to Bethan who put her sweet…
Greg Connor added his amazing harp to the song. It really adds depth to it. I love Greg's playing on the song. Thanks so much, Greg! This is why Alonetone is great.

Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.
Here is a link to Steve's original version : http://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewanshostalconnorkrell
This might be my favorite SLKrell song.
This is an impromptu version that Buck & I played with the tape rolling.

I really like this one, so simple, and stylistically right up my alley. Great story, and vibe.
Perfect guitar tones and complementing vocals.. A wonderful progression with cinematic soundtrack feel.

Nice one. a very lonesome sound
Love how mellow but driven this is. The harmonica is great as mentioned!
Loving the laid back, groove!
The harmonica is one of the most professional things that I've heard on Alonetone. Very VERY nice!
Boy you really have a nice story here. Great instrumentation and mix! Great harp BG. Gotta get one of those.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really love this. That harp is killer good, and the rest is so great. Love the rattler. Great lyrics. You are a writing machine!
This might just be your best work to date...amazing tune .. love the title..great mix

This has a great feel to it! Well done.
*OUTSTANDING* That's the best Ukulele I've ever heard. I like the symbolism of *"droplets at the edge of a river"* This might be my new favorite song!
*"A drop dead blue eyed honey"* I love it. Your lyrics are a lot of fun!
Heavy topic but Pretty to listen to.
Reminds my of Dylan. Your lyrics and phrasing are top notch.
Beautiful Song! I heard about the compilation album. This would make a Great addition to the album.
Oh . . . I like this!
You got the magic! Still *Kicking Ass* this morning.
Well . . . there's the difference. I'm stumbling for the coffee when I get up. You are making music with you Les Paul. I need more of that!
I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers. Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.
Another excellent version! Great song, and Gary really spiced it up!
*Another Masterpiece Andrew!* Excellent instrumentation and the Lyrics weave in and out perfectly!
One of my favorites!
I stopped by for another listen. Still good!
Now That is Folk Music!
Good to hear that *"Portsmouth"* sound
Unique . . . That's for sure. I have to say, you had me until the end. Pretty interesting.
You got the magic Johnny!
