I put the music together last weekend ... my friend and bandmate Rob George did the bass track for me last Saturday ... I used my godin acoustic electric for the guitars ... did the vocals this morning and wish I had more time for the mix…
This is incredibly good ...came back for a another listen...looks like only one of my comments came thru the other day on all these current tunes of yours. That Godin sounds great. Love the message here. Happy New year.
woke up from a bad sleep because there was a mosquito in my room driving me crazy ... I had no words to this tune and just spontaneously put down what ever came into my head and sang it .
Orchestral Drum
I remember carving
Our names in to a tree
Slipping out the window
To hang out in the street
And wrestling in the driveway
With the stones stuck in our skin
I remember thinking we'd grow old
Our friendship would never…
Some years ago I had the pleasure of travelling through the country of Morocco spending quite some time there on a very small budget. I remember waking up in Marrakesh with the sun burning hot like fire and from the rooftops which was my sanctuary…

Oh yeah... Just been typing "too many chrimbo songs, hrmppph..." in an email...
And then this little beauty comes out of my speakers. SUPERB song and recording. Big thumbs up from me on this one...
And I've even faved it! (Don't tell Mrs R!)

Well I started this with a little guitar groovin' thing I was playing with and laid it down to a click track thinking I was going to just keep it just guitar , bass and vocals and off it went.
This song really is just all about life moving by…

Another song that is entirely in 7/8. I like this one a little bit even though the riff seems a bit forced. The guitars are all Les Paul.
I won’t try to hold you back
I won’t try to keep you down
I just want to build you up
I just want…
Good rocker ...finesound on the drums especially with this odd timing.
There's nothing like a Les Paul for this style of tune. Excellent guitar work .... thick crunchy rhythm and killer wah! That cymbal crash at the end sounds great.
Apologies to George but I love the song. Its shocking to find out that Paul and John rejected it until George dragged Eric to the studio one day. Imagine the White Album without this...
no effects of any type on this for good or ill.

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.
Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…
You've got some nice originals ... this has that catchy hook feel to it.
The organ is a nice touch in the chorus?bridge. I hear a touch of Petty and a hint of Brian Adams but it's totally you.
Just me and my acoustic.
I've just learned how to record both at the same time.
I didn't know this song the day before this recording.
It was done in one take, with dodgy guitar playing, wrong lyrics and sore throat :)
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
Great tune James. It does touch a place in that whole Springsteen Jackson Browne feel that I love so much. Great performance. Some nice piano and sax ... good tune!
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…
eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground
dont abuse the diguise the one they made,
should never be altered
now we fear , the words we say, descent in
the shadows
we must hide to survive the thought police their searching…
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…

Nice slide and picking' ... cool brush sound on the kit ... the orchestration/synth meds really well with the acoustic ...

Excellent!!! Digin' the guitar feedback ... great groove ... the keys give it that retro feel. Cool playing ... very improvisational leads ...
George my fav Beatle who in my opinion wrote some of the best material ... enjoyed your take on a great song!
Love the sound of those pickups! This is rockin" .... too short.
beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.
Very funky ... excellent rhythm and a bit of Jimi and SRVaughan in the lead. You make that guitar sing.
Good name for a band ... too bad.
Wow! this song really sucks!!
Two ukes? ... are they baritone ukes? This is awesome! Great groove and enjoyable vocals. Good tune!
Nice feel and smooth vocals .... very nice.
You've got some nice originals ... this has that catchy hook feel to it. The organ is a nice touch in the chorus?bridge. I hear a touch of Petty and a hint of Brian Adams but it's totally you.

Great tune James. It does touch a place in that whole Springsteen Jackson Browne feel that I love so much. Great performance. Some nice piano and sax ... good tune!
This has a great feel/soul to it. Nice guitar playing and a great delivery of some fine lyrics.
Excellent production. Guitar and synth's sound great. Like the melody ... Nice to hear music with a strong melody hook. This is well done! SG
Great vocals! and a real FEEL version of a great tune ...
Thank you all for your wonderful comments!
