This one is a bit off the beaten path for me, but was fun to record. It has some great tonal coloring happening throughout, so take a listen. See if you can guess what it's about...
I played this one fairly straight. It still sounds a lot like the raw 30 second idea I recorded on my phone in an elevator in Chicago in early Feb of 2010 and discovered this RPM season. It's not about what you think it is.
This song sounds like a lonely road by the beach in the late summer/early fall. Try it out when the weather is cooperating with you. Then, reflect on who you are.
Apparently this song is the quintessential Gary Fox sound. That's probably because it's done with a special guitar with a special tuning. Anyway, my favorite part of the song is the mid-section. This is a "listen loud in the dark" sort of song.

Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…
A seven minute epic with a killer hook chorus, eh? :) What a way to conclude a really magnificent piece of work. Even though this was only my second listen through it felt like all of the songs were old friends that I missed having around. That says something. Not sure what though... :P Anyway, stunning piece of work this album - as always. Not the least bit surprised to be awed once again!

A song to get up and dance to, much like you get and dance when someone whose loudly voiced opinions you don't share is sent packing. Narcissism and hero worship have no place in a civilized world. ;)
This could be The Clash or something. Love those layered harmonies, fun counterpoint that breaks the song away from being all about riff, beat and energy. Finessing, mr Fox? ;)
If you leave me behind I'll have a crow's nest of a life
Filled with things that sparkle and flash,
Rusty nails and old tin cans
Sure, they're pretty when they get wet
But it ain't the most comfortable bed
Unless you're here
I've been…
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

I had declared the NaSoAlMo project complete after starting the eighth song. Then I had some free time and started this cheese ball. Later I added a 10th song too. What a nitwit.
This marks the end of both of my mini-goals for November…
I have been wanting to do some Cream covers for awhile now and with the passing of Jack Bruce it seemed an appropriate time to record some sort of tribute to him and the band.
Reg was pondering the deeper questions in life tonight and came up with this little ditty...............
CAN YOU HELP ME
sometimes i get so agitated inside
feels like a ball of fire is burning inside
feels like it’s burning the very essence…
Baby can you here the thunder tonite?
Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?
Lately Ive been dreaming of you lying next to me and I realise your gone
And I cant seem to find
A way to stop these tears, from bleeding out this heart of…
This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…

That is one gorgeous guitar sound.
Monstrously good. Shivers down the spine good.

The acoustic guitar in this song sounds fantastic! Whatever you did to make it sit that well in the mix, it's just right. Ribbon mic?
Some really interesting harmonic turns in this one. Appealing and intriguing, evocative and suggestive.
Great harmony deviation in that chorus, and love that crazy middle eight part!

Already the starting riff has me bobbing the old head, and that energy lasts the song through. Great opener!
