I have never written a song about the RPM Challenge itself, until now. Have we really been here for 15 years? It needed to be fun, it needed to be a great dance number. I had the gtr riff, and realized it would be even better as a horn line. The…
As I have mentioned in other years, I am so very blessed to have some songs come to me in my dreams. Grace is one of them. The specific line "Grace, grace, grace! You don't have to be a lonely child" is what I retained in my waking moments so…

Now a decade old, I thought I would revisit this mix again. I have done this a few times as I continue to learn the craft. I thought it would be a good exercise to undertake as a start thinking about writing again for the next record.

AS always, wonderfully done. Crisper tones and higher fidelity. Your voice sounds amazing; every time I try to remix something I lose the charm, you have kept the charm and added sparkle!

Aww yes... I was frantically exchanging messages with a crazy person while it was all playing... so I gotta come back when it's quiet (maybe when I'm working next week)... maybe even read the blurbs that go with the songs... but yeah, loved it... how do you manage this every year??!
Originally I had a Motown idea in mind, and I kept my stomping and clapping, but the song seemed to lend itself to a more spacey-synthey feel, so I ran with it. I also am hinting a tiny (very tiny) bit at Joe Jackson's band's backing vocal styles…
Never forget the simple pleasure of just listening to music. I wrote a whole album about it a few years ago called The Lost Art Of Listening. This one's about how a song can simultaneously take you away from the concerns of life, yet make you…
We're so quick to judge others. We really shouldn't.
This one follows the tone of It Mattered To No One Else. I actually had a lot more song ideas like these two that I thought would end up being the whole record. But it didn't happen that…
The Again, Again, Again line and melody has been flowing through my brain since 2017 or so. But if we are merely vessels for songs that are waiting to come to our shores, I was a leaky boat for a very long time and couldn't make the journey without…
And now a complete change. I like variety, and this introduces a new feel to the record. Until the mid-section, when the spacey connection returns, though in a subtle way.

Ok, this one has a journey for its creation. The original riff actually came to me in the heat of late August 2013. I still remember when it came to me. It was in a different key, with a slight different resolution. It felt like a hot summer's…
Written/recorded for RPM2017 (album in a month).
The last song I wrote for RPM2017 (being entirely written and recorded on 26th and 28th Feb). It should be obvious that this is a tribute to George Harrison - I'd listened to the album "Brainwashed…
Here's my last studio effort of the summer, as we roll into fall!
I wrote this one earlier in the year sipping mojito's at the proverbial beach bar and then posted it here.... I thought I'd give it a little sprucing up with the help from my…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:
Singing…
Yes, I really did see the old Ford years later.
HERE AT LAST
Keith Landry: Vocals, Guitar
Liam Byrne: Drums
Brian Martin: Bass
They say the good times are gone
And they ain't coming back
They say it's been too long
And we're way…
Rendition of Stepping Out originally by John Mayall and the Blues Breakers. A little tone secret that Eric used on some of these tracks is he set his toggle switch to the middle position and turned his neck pickup volume down to about 7 or 8 by…
Just a taste of the ongoing project - a sweet little song about finding love later in life. Ultimately, Jessica will be singing the first verse, I'll keep the second, and she'll be harmonizing with me the rest of the way. The whistling will…
I've said it before, I'll say it again. This song is great just as is, so I look forward to what you'll do with it in a 'group' setting. An album I eagerly anticipate...
Recorded this one as a test track to sync with the video I shot for it. I am not happy with the computer virtual amp guitar sound on this. I will re-record this and mic my amp for that real cranked 100 watt tube sound.

A song about exactly how ugly local politics can be.
It’s time to play the blame game
Another chance for calling people names
Ignore the facts, they just get in the way
You see your chance to say what…
Countin' dem pennies from youtube clips
As I try to get rich in the music biz
Stream this, click that, a download or two
These days it seems it’s what we all do
Pre-Chorus
Micro pay me in slices of a cent
Hope to get enough so I can pay…

My, oh my, oh my...what a perfect piece of music.
The bass on this is really tasty.
This is beautiful.
Great song, great song.
I feel like I am back in London, in 1966. What a great sound..
Love the feel on this one. Very summery, it almost 'sounds' humid. Great number.
Damn, James...Makes me want to quit playing guitar. Great playing, my good sir!
Brilliant...absolutely brilliant.
Tasty playing there, my good sir!
Great collection of songs, Keith!
Love the various keys parts on this one!
This is a killer collection.
Great song!
I love how your playing always sounds like fire blazing out of the strings...Fan-f***ing-tastic...
I've said it before, I'll say it again. This song is great just as is, so I look forward to what you'll do with it in a 'group' setting. An album I eagerly anticipate...
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant...
I like the sound of this, I can almost hear the beach. Great number!
Great playing. I miss Edinburgh!
