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…

We decided to give the kids an outlet that wasn’t pandemic or lockdown based this February, and made an album as a family for the RPM Challenge 2021. It was just the most precious, funny, brilliant month.

This song was written for Tony Sly of No Use For A Name - He passed away July of 2013.
His music helped me through quite a bit as a kid and influenced me as a musician. I never thought I would miss a person I had never met but here I am.
Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.

Here's the very latest from the broom-cupboard.
I wrote it one dark night over 23 years ago.

**All I Have To Do - A A J Russe**
There isn’t much time to get this out
You won’t hear me if I have to…
Ok, grabbed me right away with that unexpected chord shift in the intro. I love your songwriting, man. The variety, the sonic palettes, the lyrics, the playing, the inventiveness, all of it really; it's such a pleasure to sit, listen, and lose myself in the song.
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! :)
Comments made by Gary Fox
Wait, wah-wah bass?!? Awesome. This tune just keeps getting better with each passing sound, twist, and part.
So beautiful...
I think I have my new most favorite song ever. This is genius. The delivery is perfect.
I love the feel, the movement, the spice. Bloody great!
Magical. Purely magical.
That riff is tasty; very, very tasty! And I love the vox delivery...great song!
I love every aspect of this song; the mix, the performance, the writing, all of it.
Wow, great song. Great song!
Out of the gate...this one grabs you instantly. It's a great counterpoint to Part 1.
This is an anthem! Great song!
I love how this song almost pulses out of the speakers at me. Great cut!
This whole album is phenomenal. You're the Monet of auditory soundscapes! I loved every track.
Love the guitars!
Nice! This rocks!
This is such a great song, Tim.
I love this.
Such a great number, wilsun!
I really like the melancholy feel of the beginning. The space is nice, and the synth at 2:30 is perfect.
This song and performance are 2 minutes and 28 seconds of perfection.
