This is the one song I wish the bass was a little louder. The recording just doesn't do it justice. When we play it live it shakes the foundation!!

Enjoyed the bass line in this one, the story in Matte Finish and what I'll call the blueish/folk sound of American Ashtray. The vocals in each have the sound of ol' bluesers and rockers, enjoyable.
Music is sparse here. I would like more substance in the sound and not so much focus on the vocals. You have enough talent to make this a bigger sound. I like the lyrics.
Love the blues guitar here. Vocals are southern rock and gritty. Dig it. Takes me back to the streamline trailer down by the river on a hot summer day in the 70's.
the good family needs to go on tour! the vocals are awesome. it was a great workin with yall on the rpm. hope my butt print will come out of your orange chair.lol. looking forward to our next project!
from the album "Uniform"
she hides her heart under the pillow
waiting for the good fairy to come
replace this worn and broken thing
with a heart that can feel again
she's never sure which night will be her lucky one
but she anticipates…
A song about vanity and how it can drive one to a false sense of supremacy and righteousness … and how the simplicity of the forces of nature can challenge this predicament …
I've been messing with the scale and tempo of this tune for the past…

I finally got my trumpet out, after 35 years of it being stashed away ... another draft from RPM2012 ... enjoy ... lyrics below:
When I was just shy of 17
The days were short, the nights were kings
We stayed awake to sing a song
We never thought…
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
Were you not there
I'd have fallen through I swear but hey
You were unaware
That I'd built up a dependence on you
Well alright
Never mind, I'll find salvation in a needle
or a bottle of somekind.
you were to me
somewhere between a saint and…
When you walk away, don't talk that way
Imagine the words you say
May be your last.
And if you're angry please don't leave
Just think how near may be the end.
Why must you hold your silly grudges
and revel in your woe
You always had a talent…
