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…

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…

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.

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!
I love the backing voxes and the gtr riff parts in this. GREAT song...
Kille chorus...
