Stripped down, I almost did this one as a live, one take vox and gtr "on-mike" bit. I did the song, kind of liked, but decided to do a tracked version, just to see what it would sound like. Ended up liking it more.

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…

Mr. Fox,,, your magic is powerful,, this piece captures/pulls me into a world of my own memories, feelings,, thoughts,,, hopes,,, dreams,,,,rememberences (think i just made this word up) this music is like a liquid impressionest painting,,, a place to get lost, and perhaps if lucky found again
thank you very much Richard

This is probably the most tender song I've heard from you. I have felt the same way about a woman, and prayed that moment would never pass even though I knew it would.
Nicely done.

I can hear this being played in a smoke-filled bar, and see semi-drunken patrons bouncing on the dance floor while the song plays. Great song for a live band.

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…

Figure Out- There are about 4-5 takes of this song, all different. The song started off in the key of D, but I couldn’t hit the notes in the chorus. I then tried it in A, but it was lacking drive and energy. I tried it in G, but I couldn’t get…

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…

Well, what can I say here? I knew I wanted to do this one with a pseudo dark, smoky old jazz club feel. I kind of pulled it off, but not completely. The song itself was a happy accident riff. I picked up my acoustic, threw a capo on for fun and…
Way Kool! Holly crap you have written some great songs...so many! Only had time to get thru 2 set lists. I will be back to listen to the rest. Great mix, great sound, cool voice! I dig it!
Well, Well, Well- There is still unadulterated, unabashed love in the world. Yes, the song is masculine sounding, no shock there, since I am a guy. However, despite a friend’s comments to the contrary, I didn’t intend this song to be about getting…

I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
Matt, this album is really something special. Your singing is great, the performances are top notch, and I love the production. Be proud of this, be really proud. Great ****ing record, my good sir.
An afternoon on the Saco with Karen always leads to delusions of grandeur. Now where did I leave that eye patch?

I'm glad you didn't forget this riff. It turned into a very nice song. ER
Very sweet song. I like that sorta stutter to the rhythm. great vocals.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Superlative stuff as usual, Gary. And of course your recording skills continue to amaze me!
great one. I must have missed this one GF. Catchy lil riff you've got there too.
Another gem of your great rocking style. You are very good, very good.
Yea, you have inspiration by the bucketload to pull a great song like this out of a tuning exercise. This is wonderful.
Fantastic! You really sing this well Gary.
Kicks ass! GREAT GF cut! w;-)

Another cool groove from KC's Groove. Love the guitar in this!
Fantastic spread and air in this mix. Loving the groove on the gtr coming out of the far right speaker. Nice!

Cool, different textures on this one, very smooth and subversive. Nice work!
Nice riff, cool tune!

Matt, this album is really something special. Your singing is great, the performances are top notch, and I love the production. Be proud of this, be really proud. Great ****ing record, my good sir.
This intro is fantastic.
Cool number. For some reason it sounds like it could have been part of School House Rock back in the day...
The production quality on your record this year is over the top, Matt. Really stellar job.
Cool departure from the rest of the record. Bass is awesome.
Love the syncopation. Matt, this record is kick-arse.
This. Is. F***ing. Awesome.
Brilliant.
Damn, Matt. You have nailed a great vibe and sound here.
Dude, this sounds fantastic!
