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…

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…
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…
We all know someone like this. Sometimes I'm like this. Anyway, recorded using my Epiphone semi-hollowbody. I love the gtr sound on this one. Again, it's older, so the sonic quality isn't anywhere near what I do now.
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…

Great tune, Gary. Reminds me a bit of the Boo Radleys. Vocals are really nice, wouldn't know you struggled with any of it if you hadn't said. And personally I don't detect an ounce of schmaltz!

Derivative- This one was not supposed to be on the album, but I changed my mind and worked on it. The reason for the intended omission was because the riff, which I have been playing with for a few months, just sounded so derivative of Dear Prudence…

If you leave me behind I'll have a crow's nest of a life
Filled with things that sparkle and flash,
Rusty nails and old tin cans
Sure, they're pretty when they get wet
But it ain't the most comfortable bed
Unless you're here
I've been…
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

I had declared the NaSoAlMo project complete after starting the eighth song. Then I had some free time and started this cheese ball. Later I added a 10th song too. What a nitwit.
This marks the end of both of my mini-goals for November…
I have been wanting to do some Cream covers for awhile now and with the passing of Jack Bruce it seemed an appropriate time to record some sort of tribute to him and the band.
Reg was pondering the deeper questions in life tonight and came up with this little ditty...............
CAN YOU HELP ME
sometimes i get so agitated inside
feels like a ball of fire is burning inside
feels like it’s burning the very essence…
Baby can you here the thunder tonite?
Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?
Lately Ive been dreaming of you lying next to me and I realise your gone
And I cant seem to find
A way to stop these tears, from bleeding out this heart of…
This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…
Comments on Gary Fox's stuff
Mr. Fox I really loved this song.
This is so good!
love this, especially your choir.
fan-tastic.
Like this 'un. Very Tragically Hip if you don't mind the comparison.
Reminds me of You Never Give Me Your Money from Abbey Road. Excellent.
Great tune, Gary. Reminds me a bit of the Boo Radleys. Vocals are really nice, wouldn't know you struggled with any of it if you hadn't said. And personally I don't detect an ounce of schmaltz!
This song is really great, Gary. Underestimated, I should say. Excellent work!
Bit more keyboards :-) and "Boston" will reborn here. I like it. You're American Rocker, yeahh...
Nice Stonesy riff and production. Like all the vocals too...
Very cool! Yes, Stones-ish but "happier" than most of their stuff. Nice slide part too.
Great track mate excellent, brilliant.
OMG! This is Superb!!! Faved!
Great song, and I love the guitar solo
Oh, just read when i clicked the send button already, someone said Rundgreen :-) Yes, that is a far better comparison!
Love the vocal harmonies on this track, and the guitar riff as well ( no, it is not stones, it is more enjoyable)
Awesome twisted genius here. Love it.
This track is special. Really brilliant!
This is gorgeous, Gary.
Calls to mind 'Blue Nile' for some reason. Beautiful song! :)

I like how the bass underpins this piece. Cool...
Love the gtr tone. I also like how you place the bass in the mix. Really comes through without dominating the low end frequency range. Sweet!
Nice...love the chord stops and bass.
Great song, James!
You're really inspiring with your playing, James. Great stuff...
That is an awesome guitar tone. Nice, James...
