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!
I told myself that the 2013 RPM album was going to be guitar/bass/drums/vocals. Maybe an occasional keyboard thrown in as a gimmick. Yeah, this song is based around an electric piano and has a sax solo. So much for convictions.
A song about how hard optimism can be.
Third song finished for 2013 RPM Challenge/FAWM. Might this be the album opener? I have never owned a fuzz box, but the amp simulations in GarageBand have finally corrected that stomp box oversite…
A song about a tough day at the office.
This one turned into more of a project that it deserved. My first take on the vocals seemed okay at the time but was really unacceptable. I went back and fixed the problems and ended up clipping the…

Dream Song
-
Was I dreaming in my bed
Visions of the past
Rollin' through my head
Or was I driving in my car
Rain fallin' down
I couldn't see very far
Strange animals in shadows by the road
I knew a secret
But I forget everything I'm told…

Sometimes you are one
In the midst of all your suffering
Sometimes Heaven Comes

Here's something…

Yeah we're up on our feet

Break my stride break my stride
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

Gonna walk down the road

Nothin' gonna break my stride…
Honest Man

I went down to the riverside
Way on down where the water's deep and wide
I stripped right down to my naked skin
I jumped in the river and hoped I'd learn to swim
Cause I knew the river would take me
or I'd learn
And whether I live…
