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? ;)
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…
Comments on Gary Fox's stuff
That is one gorgeous guitar sound.
Monstrously good. Shivers down the spine good.
Aw... just peachy. You make backing vox sound just so effortless. And that's a cool guitar break, very cool.
Awesome.

Fuuuuuuckkkkkk! This is incredible! Its like Cheap Trick on steroids!

This is One Of The best songs i've heard on here. Most of The Music on here Is very Poor
I Really Like Your Vocals. This Song Rocks

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

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...
