Hey Gary - I listened to your album on the RPM jukebox, and this is my favorite so far. I'll probably change my mind later, but I like the harmonies you did, and I find myself singing the chorous at random times. Well done, sir. I liked all the songs and I'll be loading them into my MP player once I finish downloading.
Regards.

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…

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…
Amazing foxy RPM album! How can so much fun be free?
2010 is an awesome year. Can feel summer early. Also loving the retro vibe - maybe it's just me, but there's a great 60s feelgood vibe in here.

"I didn’t intend this song to be about getting naked and f*ing in the grass somewhere. If that’s what someone wants it to be, fine with me, enjoy yourself or, preferably, you and your partner enjoy yourselves with this song as the soundtrack."

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…
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…

Love’s Standing- A good change up for the flow of the album, this one is vaguely, very vaguely, country-esque. That’s mainly because of the heavily reverbed slide underneath the acoustic in the verses. I love pounding the strings on the acoustic…

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…

So good man!!

Excellent! Loving the new tracks man! They're helping me through the tedium of the shop today!
Good riff!! Handclaps are a nice touch too!
Very cool textures with all those guitar parts!
Nice one man!

Wow...this is incredibly inventive! Bet it was tricky getting it right, but you completely nailed it!
Gorgeous - sublime song-writing. Maybe would work as a duet also? Excellent...
What a summer anthem! And GREAT driving music!
I love those melodic flourishes you just casually throw in to your music. Very clever and a complete delight to hear.
The whole production and performance on this track (and probably all of them!) is fantastic, but I love the chorus especially. Vocals are top notch!
Classy old skool feel-good rock! Rock how it's meant to be.
Guitartastic :)
I'm picking up serious Boston vibes from this.. Maybe throw in a little Rolling Stones for good measure.
Ya'll nailed this tune.

Nice feel there.
Cool track, Brett...very cool
Cool number...
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...
