Thanks for the kind remarks, Dave! I decided to check out this album first because I love the title. I'll let you know what I think in about 63 minutes!
(Lyrics posted below) A fun song I wrote with Kenneth from songcrafters.org. Its about having fun making music with friends from all over the world, connected by the internet and these great music sites that we all belong to.
I came in from…
Lyrics/Vocals - OldRottenHead (over at Soundcrafters.org). Music - Dave Berry. Recorded on Boss BR-1200, Epi Sheraton, Bass, Synth. Drums are played by me on my new Roland HD-1 (I have had it two weeks, timing is a little shaky, bloody hard this…
I'm gonna have to set aside some time to listen to this entire Lobster Man album. What have I been missing?
Love the lead break on this one - right in yer face.
Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
A frightening thing, to go from being a man to becoming a Lobster-man.
Now Gather around me hearties
For I've got a sad tale to be told
Hoist the colors ye bilge rats
The call rang out, we were off for gold
Grog in our bellies, horn-pipes…
If you'd described this to me I'd have said it'll never work...
... but it does!
It's one of my least favourite Beatles songs (and I'm a big Beatles fan), this has made me reconsider it as a song in itself. Nice one.
I'm trying to bring him round.. but it don't look good.... his gone a funny grey blueey sort colour...... but if i remember right..... he looked that way when he came down the cellar in first place...........Elvis just lays beside him going ummm...ummum... and dribbling it must have been one hell of a night after i left....
G-damn Reg boys, ( and by that I don't mean to be insulting to your sense of awe at the universe, however you choose to express it). you tinkling there, is that a Reg set of fingers laying onto a keyboard, fantastic playing man. The bass is right on. You need the gruff vocals to go with this one, to finish it off. I need to spend more time with my piano to be able to tickle like this. Fantastic song Reg-times-two.
Its not playing, damn, I really need to hear this right now...... I had a favorite uncle too, I need to know what the therapy revealed........must be my damn computer...............I'll be back......this may b the key to it all..................You Reg's are like therapy, your music...it gets the heart to the matter......you guys keep it real.
We decided to let Elvis back out of the cellar to record this one as he has been whining and whinging for weeks now to have another go. So here it is for 3.42 minutes Elvis is back in the building.......The music is one of Elvis's own karaoke…
DAmn Elvis has got his funk on, you guys need to let him out more often, but then he drinks all the beer and throws up all over the kitchen counter, never could hold his booze could he. This is damn authentic, flipping incredible guys.
Reg has just gotta get on gone, he wants to move out from his old lady's into reg's place where it's happening, what with Elvis in the cellar and his visiting friends jammin all night, Reg is almost living there anyway. So now he has decided to…
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?
A live recording:
Me: Vox, Bass
Joel: Guitar, Backing Vox
Chris: Drums, Backing Vox
This is a song about finding momentary escape from the pain of loss.. and having it interrupted by the realisation that it's the anniversary of the day it all started;
Some days I get up
and I go to the park
and I sit in the dark
and I think…
Reg has been dancing on the scene and started drinking again, this freedom he wanted so badly is harder than he thought. But he'll get through it.........
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain
Roger…
Thank you for being you
No one else would do
Thank you for being you
You're all I ask for
Too many nights alone
tonight I'm coming home
open up the wine cos I'm
gonna be with the one who's shown
Me the ways of old
Women into wives…
After Reg's murderous thoughts it only took an argument about who was going to make the tea to make his beloved leave him but the problem was, so had 50% of his lottery winnings and it was this he took hard, He went on the preverbal bender. Waking…
My daily Regx2 fix, I can't start my day without you guys. I love the vocals here. Bluesy voice, I like that. The feeling of confusion is palpable. Good god almighty, that girl is bad-talking a Reg, thats just not right.
Great to see you on here Geir, do the good folks of alonetone know what they are getting into with this song??????? Its bloody addictive, almost needs a warning label.
Well it had to happen sometime, he couldn't go on living the way he was, even with those full throttle hands there was no excuse, he was guilty....... guilty as charged........RPM2011
Thanks man, and may I say, thanks for making some of the best music I hear lately. Your a true original thats for sure, with groove to spare. That Norm dude can sure lay down a beat, fantastic bit os music here, its latin, cowboy funk, bluesy, jazzy, big city, back country all at the same frigging time, thats what I am talking about.
Smoke of the past
The shadow of experiences
What was not
But could have been

This is a collab tune which was originally written by Tad Rees (aka Solo). He plays the Keyboard.synth, and I did the guitar and drums. The last half blends with his original which can be heard in completion at :

Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Love this Dave sweet as a nut and brill playing ,, Dunny
I think you did a great cover of this song. I am a Neil Young fan also! :-)
One of your best vocals to date Dave. Nice work, and fine guitfiddle work.
Sweet tone and cool mix...thanks on talking blues
I like the 'Dave's touch'..! Very nice cover, man!
Thanks for the kind remarks, Dave! I decided to check out this album first because I love the title. I'll let you know what I think in about 63 minutes!
I like it!
Interesting song!
hey, this is a damn fine tune!
hell yeah dave icame over to see all the fun.
I gotta agree with Henner. It is your best vocal. This one suits your stripped down sound perfectly.
Can't say I've heard this before from you Dave. Without a shadow of a doubt, the best vocal I've heard from you, BB. Must be a Canadian Thing!!
I'm gonna have to set aside some time to listen to this entire Lobster Man album. What have I been missing? Love the lead break on this one - right in yer face.
Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
I've heard tell of this many times, but I have to admit I've never got round to listening to it before. Superb :-)

This is one of my all time favourite songs (though I've never heard The Band's version). Great cover - love the backing vocals, really effective.
Bring a bottle with you the doors open ...i cant get up to shut it.......
Great cover by the way
I'm trying to bring him round.. but it don't look good.... his gone a funny grey blueey sort colour...... but if i remember right..... he looked that way when he came down the cellar in first place...........Elvis just lays beside him going ummm...ummum... and dribbling it must have been one hell of a night after i left....

I like your style, this is like progressive funk man, deadly. I am going to have a few listens to this beauty.

utterly stunning Reg, thats power music man.
Hey Reg's that sounds like the place to be....can I move in too? I'll bring my mandolin.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
I really like your voice, very early Pink Floyd to my ears. Great flipping song here, love those harmonies. You are quite the arranger/songwriter.
I have been drinking so I can hear the silence you put in here, fantastic groove boys..........I'll have another in your honours
Thats what I like, yeahhhhhh
Dear lord this good. Its sounds live, must be the drums, real drums? fantastic old-school rock song.
My daily Regx2 fix, I can't start my day without you guys. I love the vocals here. Bluesy voice, I like that. The feeling of confusion is palpable. Good god almighty, that girl is bad-talking a Reg, thats just not right.
Seriously good shit man
