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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
Keep Shining Through- Last minute lyrics…kind of a cop-out, since it’s a song about song-writing. I didn’t have any better ideas and after losing so much time from the outage I had to just bust out what I could. It was pretty much written on the…

There's a historical marker near the side of the road on McCrea Hill just down the road. Jane gets a passing credit as the last line of the plaque reads "Sister Jane was martyred."
Neat little piece of American history you might want to delve…
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…
Here is my entry for the "Who Knew" Song Writing Challenge. Thanks for including me :)
Lyrics:
When I was a young boy
I never knew what it meant
to be unloved
When I was a young man
I never knew what it meant
to be undone
Now I’m…
Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge posted in the Alonetone Forum.

Who Knew when I first met you
That all your troubles would be mine
And you’d be coming around again…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

Nobody loves you
Like you…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:

This is the first thing I recorded using the telecaster you can see in my profile pic. It's a one-take jam played over one of those guitar magazine backing tracks. Thanks for the listen :-)
My humble tribute to Freddie King... Without him we wouldn't have Eric & without Eric, I would probably have never picked up a guitar.
This is sort of a pastiche of Hide Away & The Stumble & tracks like that :-)
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
A remix in lieu of a cover for the Angie Fights Crime Covers Album. I can't sing in my house at the moment since it either wakes up the 5 month old, or pisses off the 3 year old. So I thought I'd try something different.
The original, is very…

Comments on Gary Fox's stuff
I just love this, good call with the faint organ
The extra percussion really adds to this groove nicely. Classic rock and roll. Cool!
Well done.
Fantastic Gary!
really works.. glad it didnt get lost along the way. and even if the the riff was derivative, where it headed certainly wasnt. nice one chappy
especially love the vocals on this one. Apart from the fact that its a brilliantly written song. excellent
really like the chorus melody on this one
Really brings back the sound of my teens. I liked it. Great vocals as well.
Man of many talents! Good job!
Love the guitar tone on this! (and the song!)
definitely a stones groove...keith richards should listen to you to remember what its like
Am I the only one who's noticing the Todd Rundgren vibe going on here? Awesome.
This track slays me. It is firmly lodged in my head. I would pay money to see this played live.

The whole record has such a cool atmosphere, but this one really grabbed me. I love the simple beauty of it.
Great song!
Brilliant. Love the atmosphere...
Like the feel of this one, nice one, Nick!
Sounds like it belongs on Nashville Skyline...nice one, Greg!
I like the way the last "Who Knew" in the chorus twists...Nice work!
Hooked!
Great atmosphere! I love the delicate nature of the playing and the sound.
Wow, amazing transition from the demo. Both are great in their own way...nice work!
