This one came solely as the chorus melody and the basic hook "So I'll sing my song for Carolina" It's all I had for months, but I thought it was a good chorus line so I kept humming it to see if it would sprout further ideas. The mid section is…
After hearing Jarrettt Osborn's take on this one, I had to come back and go again. Yep, I was reduced to "Wow" on this Last time I listent to it too! I like the stripped back version, but I also love all the carefully placed arrangement on this. And the song... shivers down the back... And I can perfectly visualise how you constructed it... having this chorus melody and one hook, just KNOWING it needed a song round it. I love how this version gives me that hook and melody, and the beautifully constructed finished song and arrangement around it ... and then Jarrett's version digs the raw song performance out of it - that possibly you didn't even know existed? (I don't know how you write/record) - and goes "here you go, this is the song I could hear and loved"
C.S. Lewis once wrote about the concept of "out of simple evil comes complex good." These are trying times, an understatement if there ever was one. As you read this, you have uncertainties and fears for what our current situation means for right…
Gary your words of introduction touched my heart, and then the wonderful song... WOW! Thanks so much for this. It totally made my day... Awesome things: the power of words and the power of music

This one came to me as I was sleeping on a plane, delayed on a tarmac. I dreamt that McCartney was singing this, sort of. I came out of the dream abruptly when the pilot said we were finally cleared to take off. I racked my brain to figure out…
Reminds me of a song called Scrambled Eggs ;)
(That's the blurb, not the song itself)
And strangely, I can hear McCartney singing this too... lol
Love the little horn part on the end!

This one started as the verse chords and some rambling vox melody. My demo of just gtr and me mumbling resulted in something vaguely Lennon-esque in delivery, so I kept that aspect and took it further for the mid section. The harmonies in the…
The word agony and the basic melody for the first line came first. I sat on it for a while, then one evening tried to figure out the chords for it. The verse chords followed very quickly, effectively falling out of the gtr after I had discovered…
A total gtr inspired tune. The riff came first and I knew it needed thunderous drums. The rest fell into place. I envisioned this one being very Top of The Pops on a Saturday in 1971, or Granada TV in summer of' 70, depending on your point of…
I have never written a song about the RPM Challenge itself, until now. Have we really been here for 15 years? It needed to be fun, it needed to be a great dance number. I had the gtr riff, and realized it would be even better as a horn line. The…
This one started as the piano piece. I was messing around and thought it had a vaguely Eddie Harris sounding vibe from Plug Me In (which is a killer record, absolutely killer). Anyway, I decided to develop it, since it sounds a little different…

Created all in one go with nothing to write on while I walked the Hilton Head beach in the rain last spring, this gentle little song more came through me than from me.

Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...

Good one, Gary. I enjoyed the album! I always appreciate how energetic and robust your production is.
After hearing Jarrettt Osborn's take on this one, I had to come back and go again. Yep, I was reduced to "Wow" on this Last time I listent to it too! I like the stripped back version, but I also love all the carefully placed arrangement on this. And the song... shivers down the back...

Gary your words of introduction touched my heart, and then the wonderful song... WOW! Thanks so much for this. It totally made my day... Awesome things: the power of words and the power of music
instant classic:) so awesome ...needs to be heavily commercialized, music video etc...
Love it
Another utterly fabulous set of songs Mr Fox. Well done, big time.
Rocking. Am I imagining it, or is there a backing vocal that sounds like someone other than you?
Reminds me of a song called Scrambled Eggs ;) (That's the blurb, not the song itself) And strangely, I can hear McCartney singing this too... lol Love the little horn part on the end!
Run out of words to type... Wow
Yep. LOVED this one.
Love it. The lyrics are fabulous. I don't often notice lyrics on a first listen, but wow... Fab song
Woof! Yes
Love how you converted the guitar riff to horns - masterful decision (says a guitarist)
Nice way to end it...great work :)
Really Cool vibe on this :)
Awesome tune. Love that Bridge section at 2:12 :)
As a co-RPMer, I think this is a fantastic song of celebration to commemorate RPM's 15th year. Love it!
Yes, "Greatest American Hero", just the intro. Nice!
Whole album - m a s t e r p i e c e.
Another one for the car playlist!

Great use of percussion on this number, and again, I love the use of space.
Your guitar work is so very, very tasty.
Reverb...so beautiful, so luscious. This song...wow.
I love the sound you have imbued in the record this year. This song makes such a great use of tone, space, and texture.
Yet another amazing piece of music. This record sounds beautiful.
Damn, this is a great song.
Within seconds of the song opening, I am hooked. This sounds amazing, absolutely amazing.
What a great collection, Keith. Magnificent.
I don't have words to describe how good this is.
Yeah, I love this one.
I love the warm, upfront sound of this. Great song!
Brilliant, my friend.
Brilliant tune! The band sounds killer!
This sounds fantastic. Totally loving the chords and the interplay with the bass.
Love the echo effects on the chorus. Cool tune, man!
Nice searing tone on that guitar. Sounds like the strings were on fire. Very cool...
Keys! Awesome tone, really like how the chorus comes in.
I like the pulsing bass, perfect offset to the groove. And, as always, great guitar work yet again!
Nice use of the Mixolydian mode! I like how it makes the songs have a positive musical tone against the darker aspect of the lyrics. Very cool KC!
Dude...killer. Loving the rhythm section on this...
