Comments on Gary Fox's stuff

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. ;)

Digging the looseness! This one is pretty frisky...

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!

Can you do one called The Sunshine of Cornish Life next? :) Very slick track.

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...

Fabulous arrangement - love the closing credits feel.

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…

Wow... Gorgeous vox... Anthemic heartbreak!

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'

Oooh, Love this - guitar, rhythm, vox, and the percs are the cream on the top!

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…

I'm also rather pleased with your Telecaster sounds in the rhythm sections... Very cool track.

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…

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.

You are loved, imperfect as you may be. It's easy to hate yourself, but hard to do the opposite. This song holds out that hand to pull you up.
