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? ;)

They say that you are bad
They say you got me hooked
They say you drive…
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
Matt, this album is really something special. Your singing is great, the performances are top notch, and I love the production. Be proud of this, be really proud. Great ****ing record, my good sir.
An afternoon on the Saco with Karen always leads to delusions of grandeur. Now where did I leave that eye patch?

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!

Matt, this album is really something special. Your singing is great, the performances are top notch, and I love the production. Be proud of this, be really proud. Great ****ing record, my good sir.
This intro is fantastic.
Cool number. For some reason it sounds like it could have been part of School House Rock back in the day...
The production quality on your record this year is over the top, Matt. Really stellar job.
Cool departure from the rest of the record. Bass is awesome.
Love the syncopation. Matt, this record is kick-arse.
This. Is. F***ing. Awesome.
Brilliant.
Damn, Matt. You have nailed a great vibe and sound here.
Dude, this sounds fantastic!
Wow...great, great record, Keith. Every number was so very good; you captured a mood here. Congrats!
