The Hollow Men
Sad Hippie Thing
1993
Greg Melvin: Vocals, Rhythm Guitars, Keyboards
Doug Sparling: Lead Guitars
David Albrecht: Bass
Terry Adams: Drum Kit
All songs written by Greg Melvin
Arrangements by Greg Melvin and The Hollow Men
I didn't write the songs, Greg did (expand the song notes on any song, you'll see I gave him the credit, and I did ask Greg if it was OK to post the songs). I did write guitar parts, arrangements, etc., but Greg was the writer. I sadly can't write lyrics...
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Noodling with the "art guitar" in DADGAD tuning in the Serra sculpture Vortex at the FW MOMA. No fx added, all natural reverb/delay inside the structure.
Perpetual motion of things that will not stop even when we're no longer here. Strange feeling.

A simple as it is musically, this song pretty much sums it all up for me. What started as the simple appreciation of a hiking t-shirt evolved into this song about the duality of this domesticated artist who recognizes the importance of wandering…
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
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…
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…

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

Comments on dougsparling's stuff
I love the saturated sound on this one!
very nice,,, also a gentle wander through your chosen cords( as i just mentioned about "wind voices, the song following yours on the uploads),,, pretty,, well done!!
beautiful
I love your steel guitar work...
Excellent orchestral layering, Doug.
I think the entire world should be buddhist.
wow. I became lost in the beauty. And it felt good. Thanks for sharing. Very emotional and powerful playing....yet done with elegance.
Classic Sparling. These are the sounds I love!
A pity more peoples' hearts don't tremble. Fairly aggressive with an underlying wistful melody, I like the contrast very much.
Great stuff man! Love those almost vocal sounding effects
Really nice Doug Dig it mate.
Great song! nice
Excellent track Doug :) w;-)
Very Cool Doug.
Lovely! Keep on accidentally keeping these pieces! :)
well played
Very cool picking and I like how it blends into something mystical in the end.
Has a real country feel!, nice tune.
Like spinning, very cool!

Awesome and way better than the new Davey Spillane...not pure shyte!
Nice! And reminds me that I really need to dig up Acoustic Sketches someday...
Kavin + DADGAD, you know I already like it!
Beautiful. Music is your soul!
Amazing!
Oh yeah, this is awesome!
Had me hooked in the first five seconds. Lovely acoustic.
Shit, this brings back some memories...
Love this. Hard to go wrong with piano and strings! Nice simple (and beautiful) melody, just the way it should be...
You're still doing great music, so glad to hear it!
Nice ray gun sounds. Fun!
Thanks for your comments on Frozen Roads. Dang, I don't even remember recording that thing! Uploaded 5 years ago...wow :)
Yeah, man, that's awesome!
Nice!
Still nice, one of my favorites. Is that a tune Seamus Ennis played? My Irish record collection has gotten quite dusty...
This so rocks! Must be from a few years before I met you.
Nice sounding geetar and love the track.
Actually, make that great tune!
I remember Paul from when Scartaglen used to play down by Folgers on 9th St. Nice tune.
Still love this one...
