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…

A long one, something of a centrepiece for the record. Open tuning and ebow fun.

Fancied trying some fast piano. This one sounds like the single to me.
This is the first piece that I recorded - just after midnite on Feb. 1st. with Anne Cozean in mind as vocalist. Anne and I have worked together before and she delivered a great performance across two tracks. I was thinking Portishead going in…
eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground
dont abuse the diguise the one they made,
should never be altered

billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer

None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?

And if I'm still living here.

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! :)

Great liquid groove; great change-ups and harmonies. Smooth...and amazing harmonies...
This is awesome. I love the chorus, especially the backing vox. Brilliant S-dude!
Great song, love the harmonies.
I was about to say this was nice and delicate, and then I glanced at the title again. Great minds I suppose? Wonderful playing.
Great sound on that acoustic. It's fantastic. Cool chord prog and cool song all around. Nice...
Nice guitar work, Rog. Cool song.
Great chorus...good movement on this.
So this is how you kick ***. Nice track, great tones here. Right in the pocket...
Such a great song, such great playing. The dynamics are brilliant.
Nice moody piece. Very cool.
Great song, great tones and great arrangements. Excellent hook, nice work!
This is a very tasty piece of guitar work.
This has a great tone and feel to it. Excellent playing, excellent playing.
Very cool.
Great melody! I like the backing synth tracks as well coupled with the crunching gtr.
Great instrumentation and use of space on this song. The vox is great.
Awesome.
Great song, great performance. Nice work.
Better than the original. I speak with authority here. ;)
Damn Alex, is there anything you don't play? This is great.
