There is no reverb on any vox parts in this one. I loved how I was able to get the tone of the voices to have that mid-60s sound. This was aided by the fact I am running through an emulation of the Abbey Road mixing desk. ;)
No offense meant to my English friends. ;) I grew up there as a kid, so we have common cause. Anyway, this song is more about the struggle between the material and spiritual, doing the right thing when you are called upon, etc. Hope you enjoy!
As you may have picked up on, there's a lot this year about soldiering on when your world has been destroyed. So, this is a song of hope. Have faith, have faith...
This one was a hard one to nail. The Wurlitzer riff was something I accidentally played and fell in love with immediately, so I needed to write a song that enhanced the mood that the tone of the Wurly evoked. The sound is so empty and spacious…
When your world is destroyed as you know it, the ability to overcome and renew yourself is a very steep ascent. It may take years, and this song is about that struggle to 'let it go'
It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…
The song that led the way. I came up with the guitar sound first, and needed a song that evoked the pure energy that was coming from that guitar sound. It needed to be fast and intense. And it needed harmonies. We're full abandon 'cause it's time…
This one went through many iterations before turning into what you hear. A key breakthrough came when I stumbled upon that keyboard part for the verses. That opened the whole thing up.

That's a driven sound, and that in-reverse guitar is hott! Fried to a tasty crisp! A fabulous composition and performance, Cool vocals. Great job -- ROCK ON!
Defiance, self-doubt, hubris, failure, choosing...It's all here to hear.
The title is a nod to my love of a certain guitar player and singer from a late 60's act; who's solo records were even better. The vibrato guitar is inspired by him…

Created all in one go with nothing to write on while I walked the Hilton Head beach in the rain last spring, this gentle little song more came through me than from me.

Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…

Digging the looseness! This one is pretty frisky...
Can you do one called The Sunshine of Cornish Life next? :) Very slick track.
Fabulous arrangement - love the closing credits feel.
Wow... Gorgeous vox... Anthemic heartbreak!
Oooh, Love this - guitar, rhythm, vox, and the percs are the cream on the top!
I'm also rather pleased with your Telecaster sounds in the rhythm sections... Very cool track.

Liked your use of electronics on this one, and the best. Very nice. Enjoyed the entire album. Another great effort. ER
That's a driven sound, and that in-reverse guitar is hott! Fried to a tasty crisp! A fabulous composition and performance, Cool vocals. Great job -- ROCK ON!
I think I know, for what it's worth ;)
Fast, and intensely bad ass!
I say... that's jolly good :)
This is one cool track mate
Good call. The keys made the song. The reverse(guitar?)is cool too. Groove-a-licious.
Emulating a mixer? That's interesting. I need to know more. It works for sure.
Damn dude - kick ass album so far. Great effort all the way around. I feel like a groupie.
Cool groovin'
I'm going with Stephen :)
Drums are fab.
Man, that Tele is sweet! Classic.

Great use of percussion on this number, and again, I love the use of space.
Your guitar work is so very, very tasty.
Reverb...so beautiful, so luscious. This song...wow.
I love the sound you have imbued in the record this year. This song makes such a great use of tone, space, and texture.
Yet another amazing piece of music. This record sounds beautiful.
Damn, this is a great song.
Within seconds of the song opening, I am hooked. This sounds amazing, absolutely amazing.
What a great collection, Keith. Magnificent.
I don't have words to describe how good this is.
Yeah, I love this one.
I love the warm, upfront sound of this. Great song!
Brilliant, my friend.
Brilliant tune! The band sounds killer!
This sounds fantastic. Totally loving the chords and the interplay with the bass.
Love the echo effects on the chorus. Cool tune, man!
Nice searing tone on that guitar. Sounds like the strings were on fire. Very cool...
Keys! Awesome tone, really like how the chorus comes in.
I like the pulsing bass, perfect offset to the groove. And, as always, great guitar work yet again!
Nice use of the Mixolydian mode! I like how it makes the songs have a positive musical tone against the darker aspect of the lyrics. Very cool KC!
Dude...killer. Loving the rhythm section on this...
