Final version RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…

There's a whole mythology woven into this song, and hence into the album, and the weave is fine and warm.

Remedies are funny things. You want to get better but you don't want to change. This is now a minimally tidied up version of this track 18/3/09

I unleash my secret weapon! Guest vocalist Shaka brings the icing to this rather haunted version of the first chapter of Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier!

An instrumental that sits in the middle where your grandfather would have been turning the LP over to play side 2

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010

this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in thanks

An old Blues - you coming or staying?

Again i'd love some feedback I like the feel and the mix do the lyrics work? recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune

This was the first track i demo'd for this year's RPM but i just got round to tidying it up and adding the third verse. A bit of a feel good record!
