Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…
Well, after my conversation (if you could call it that) with my Seagull Mini-Jumbo, I started playing THIS song...
So now my guitar has filed for legal separation. I guess it never realized what true musicianship was all this time. It actually had the nerve to ask for Gary's email to see if he'd be at the Listening Party in Portsmouth (as if it thinks I'll still bring it along to meet Gary face-to-fretboard).
A brief glimpse, but that's all. Inspired by last April. It's for everyone, but no one in particular. Yes, this one gives more than a passing nod to Ham and Evans. Thanks gents!
Just by to listen to the awesomeness again... I actually had the crazy idea of trying to cover this song with just a stripped down arrangement on the acoustic, but when I mentioned it to my guitar it angrily asked if I was "friggin' nuts" and went off to gripe in the corner of the room, mumbling something about my inadequacies as a musician and foolishness to try to mess with perfection.
We aren't speaking now. I'll try to re-establish contact with the six-string's representation by offering to play some James Taylor on it later, but after hearing this track I don't think it'll be interested in my version of "mediocre guitar playing" (I quoted the guitar on that one) any time soon.
This one started as a the title line while driving in my car. All I had was the line and it's melody. I built the song around that about 6 months later. The lyrics are self explanatory.
It's about a few folks, some known, some known to me. I liked the chunkiness of the chord that starts it, but wanted to do something a little more 'spacey' than a pure rock number. It's all true too.

This one had better not be cr@p now lol...
And it's not... it's tingle-down-the-spine music.
A perfect finish to an utterly stunning album. Well done, very well done indeed.
This song started as the riff on my Strat while fooling around with some FX. I knew it needed to be a big dance number, and then realized there is a great story about the power of music and dance, which I hid in the lyrics. See if you can figure…

A little fun riff that came from noodling on my Epi whilst watching the idiot box one night. It's kind of written for a friend who is a little lost in a self-imposed exile from life.

This went by while I was musing on the earlier tracks...
Now I'm listening to it again. Another goodie. Stunning vox, and I'm liking the slide. The middle section is genius.

I've run out of words... I've broken me "Favourite" button...
And your rhythm guitar playing... wow... you've got the same thing going that Malcolm Young has.
Good grief... I'm only three songs into this album... this is just... just... fabulous.
Yep, that reverb is the one it needed.
Like DB sez, yes, ELO. But there's Mott The Hoople, etc, as well... much else... all that 70s goodness... and an excellent song as well.
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…

Cool KEYS!!

SO TRUE!!! Another great song!! Man you just spit great songs out!!
ROCK AND ROLL!!

Just Great! So dig the horns and strings at the end!!
Caught myself humming the chorus again and again, this has hit quality
Great song!!!!!
I second what Andy says. :) Regards, Steffen

I ain't got nuthin sensible left to say Faved
Sigh... :-)
And that guitar break!!

This is a stunner. Had to come back and listen twice. So well put together... unbelievably good listening.
Brilliant.
Yep, always listen to what the song says :-) Another superb one. On certain days, this would be my favourite of the album so far.

My, oh my, oh my...what a perfect piece of music.
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...
