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....
Now thats a complex picking pattern. You voice is perfect with the sound of the guitar. Sounds like an electric guitar on a very clean amp setting, real nice. Nice and echoey.
The title pulled me in and the wonderful guitar kept me rapt until the end. Real flipping nice song, I've got a shiver up my spine from this, deep lyrics. Fab.
I'm tired now, and I think I'll take a few days off from RPM. I need one more tune and that shouldn't be to tough to do.
Thanks everyone,
I'll be in touch soon.

sorry for the silence
i'm not ignoring you.....

I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals.
This is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
A little rough but I loved making it.
My friend Dave had bought a Roland GR-20, so it was critical he did the solo in the middle and end :)
Oh, all made on the Boss Micro BR. Love that thing!!
This was fun to make!
After I read into RPM and understood that anybody could take the challenge, I joined up. I'm starting with a clean slate, so I hope I can finish! This a WIP of the first tune I'm working on. Everything I do will be recorded/produced with the Boss…

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!

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'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

Oh yea, I need to get listening to your music, deadly style.
I like it, great songwriting. This is what I like big time.
I really like this, very well done.
Wow, beaut, great picking here.
Nice sounds, nice mood.
Could be a great blues-rock style song about a guy who lost something really important, and he can't get past the pain.
Nice old country feel, its like hearing a song on the wind as you are out driving on a lonley road heading to nowhere. Nice harmonica, nice.
Real nice song, different in a good way.
Super feel here, harmonies are wonderful, the whole dang thing is wonderful.
Deadly roots music. Authentic and real. Nice.
Yup, this is very nice.
Yup, this one was fun hu? I love your bass line here Mark.
Yes I like, I like. Nice deep bass line. I dig it. I applaud your challenge here, 10 songs in Feb, go Mark go!!!!!!
Nice, real nice guitar groove here.
Great cool song
