Wow! John, Paul, and George with Young/Young/Williams/Rudd backing them... I can't think of a better combination for me to listen to.
The chorus is just sublime.
And George Martin at the controls... lol (just reached the end).
Almost perfect Gary - LOVE IT!!
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.
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…
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…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
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.
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…
OK i geddit. Those vocals - there is a place in my heart that loves them before they even start. It must be 3 or 4 bands rolled into one but they are hitting the spot. The Beatles/Cream/Status Quo and The Carpenters all in the same throat! Magical!
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…

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…

One of my first favorite songs...I had this idea floating around for years, even tried it with the band in late 98-99. This 2001 recording comes closest to capturing what I hear in my head.
This one seems to have a lot more dynamic range than the other ones. Suits me better as I'm not usually a "loud guy" ... Great 60s/70s touch again. Just the way I like it! :)
A Song About an old Saying......
Sh*t Happens......
Lyrics
T.Mokbul 2010
-In A Day-
Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…
I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…

A beautiful end to this great album
Good old 70s rock - that's what your music sounds to me. Really fun to listen to.
Your singing style reminds me of John Mellencamp on "John & Diane". Good job!
I don't know if it sounds like Summer, but it sure sounds like good song to me.
Gary, this is a really cool tune. Nice guitar work
And This!! yes 1972! I'm right back in that living room (and the speakers are way better)
Oh This!!
OK i geddit. Those vocals - there is a place in my heart that loves them before they even start. It must be 3 or 4 bands rolled into one but they are hitting the spot. The Beatles/Cream/Status Quo and The Carpenters all in the same throat! Magical!
Fantastic, one of the best songs I heard on Alonetone so far.
This is so retro, fantastic!
This whole piece is ear candy
Rocks!
excellent!!!Guitar and vocal
Just a brilliant track!
Great Tune!
Pretty cool. :)
This is my favourite track on your album Gary. Just great!! A most enjoyable album altogether.

Sounds more like 1982 to be. ;) :P Either way it sounds superb. You have achieve a level of professionalism that most of us will never achieve.

Cool song brother. I like the simplicity of the guitar mixed with the dark lyrics.
The slide gtr parts have this great earthy tone to them. This song has a great feel. I love the suspensions and country blues overtones.
And yet again, more brilliant finger style playing. Beautiful work, Kavin.
Such great finger-picking... I love the song and all of the changes. Great one Kavin, simply great.
Love the Univibe effect here...
Tasty, very tasty.
I like the raw energy you put into your songs Rob. I would come see you live in heartbeat. Cheers, Gary
This has kind of a cool Revolver goes country feel to it. Nice work Rob. Cheers, Gary...
Kirk, Your versatility and skill with different styles, instruments and moods never ceases to amaze me. Cheers, Gary
Great song Mr. Moody. Excellent vox on this one.
Alex, I need to listen to you a lot more.
Cool piece, love the textures. The classical gtr interplay with the synth, the pads...all of it. Cheers! Gary
Большие песни. Cheers, Gary
This is an excellent piece. I love the melody and the tone of the piano.
I like the interplay between the clarinets and violins (violas?) And kirk is right, the cello is beautiful.
This one has a cool vibe and tone to it. Excellent work. I like the solo parts, they feel like you could float on them.
This is a very cool tune. Great falsettos... Wow, what a great voice. Organ is killer...
Bethan's right. Great track.
Great vibe here Skidoo! It's rainy here and around 1am. I have the windows wide open and this is up loud.
I like where this is going Alex
