Hello 1977! This song sounds like 1977 to me. So, I totally played it up, right down to the reverb on the vocals. Enjoy.

Haha, you were a totally rubbish choice for dinner time music! Too much grooving, not enough eating! Class act, Mr Fox!

The title track to the new album. Turn it up. Listen all the way through and there's some ear candy at the end for you. ;)

This is my stadium anthem, the one to close the show with. Everyone put your lighters (or cellphones) in the air and sing along... I was sick as **** when I recorded it, so my vocals on it are really pretty bad. Ah well, that's rock and roll…

Great album closer... First rate album, Gary. The urgency is just outstanding. This song might need some future covering.

Also recorded when I was very, very sick...I needed to get RPM 2006 kicking into gear, regardless of the state of my voice. This song was written and recorded on the spot. What you are hearing is what I made up as I went with the record button…

...And another great acoustic track... Now I'm certain that an unplugged album is in order.

This song has a tale similar to Left Me Wondering. This was made up on the mic, both gtr and vox. Unlike Left Me Wondering however, I went back and overdubbed some backing harmonies and I also did a little extra GTR on it too. What's fun about…

Great unplugged track... It may be time for an all-acoustic album, Gary!

What's rock and roll without a yee-haw or war-whoop before a solo? This ragged piece of something or other came from a riff I had laying around for a couple of years. I pieced it together kind of last minute for RPM 2006. It's not bad, a lot…

The urgency of this album comes through in all the best classic rock ways... Truly this album epitomizes the RPM challenge. Listening to this album should be a pre-requisite for every artist's introduction to the RPM Challenge. ...And war whoops are right and proper before the thrashing guitar solo.

This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well... It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink. Listen…

Great opening riff... Damn, why didn't I get around to listening to this album sooner... Wait, I know... I was so demoralized by the fact that the album title "28 Days" had already been done (just as I was about to name my 2010 RPM effort the same thing) that I shut my computer before I gave the album a listen! Glad I didn't stick with the name... "Keeping Constant Motion" (the eventual album title) pales in comparison to this rock masterpiece.

Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD! Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…

All right... Time for a classic Gary Fox night. Great opening track. Love the driving beat, man... I can't turn it up loud enough.

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.

Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…

This is one of my favorites from you. When I need a lift I listen to it and play air guitar and feel much better. ER

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…

I've told you before, but this is my favorite of all your tunes. It just plain rocks!

Nothing like the sound of a strat through that classic "brown" sound. Gritty, driving, crunchy, lovely tones...This is my welcome back, did you miss me, RPM 2008 opening track.

This is a great song Gary. Lots of cool influences...... Cool guitar work.

Allelujiah-This was supposed to be a completely different song, but this one just wrote itself instead. It’s almost all first take, except for the bass, which took a while to get straight so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the song. It has this tone…

So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…
