This one came solely as the chorus melody and the basic hook "So I'll sing my song for Carolina" It's all I had for months, but I thought it was a good chorus line so I kept humming it to see if it would sprout further ideas. The mid section is…
This one started as the verse chords and some rambling vox melody. My demo of just gtr and me mumbling resulted in something vaguely Lennon-esque in delivery, so I kept that aspect and took it further for the mid section. The harmonies in the…
This one started as the piano piece. I was messing around and thought it had a vaguely Eddie Harris sounding vibe from Plug Me In (which is a killer record, absolutely killer). Anyway, I decided to develop it, since it sounds a little different…
A total gtr inspired tune. The riff came first and I knew it needed thunderous drums. The rest fell into place. I envisioned this one being very Top of The Pops on a Saturday in 1971, or Granada TV in summer of' 70, depending on your point of…
I have never written a song about the RPM Challenge itself, until now. Have we really been here for 15 years? It needed to be fun, it needed to be a great dance number. I had the gtr riff, and realized it would be even better as a horn line. The…

One more listen from me here in snowy MN. And still love your voice as always. Thanks so much for all the feedback you've given me on my songs! So appreciated!!!!
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
Hey Alex...this track made me turn green with envy. Your voice is f***ing awesome. The trade-off of the gtr and the keys is perfect, well balanced. Laid back back-beat groove. Yeah, just checked the mirror, I am pure green.
Cheers,

Jay, you should try to get movie soundtrack work. This song would be great for some of the darker horror movies. You really have an original flair, and this screams "Welcome to my altered state, dark, dark world." Brilliant. DO something with this music, it needs to be out there.
This track was born out of an annual project or "artbomb" at New Year's, where a bunch of artists get together, pick a word or "theme" and all upload our musical interpretations of said word or theme. This was from a couple of years ago when the…
I love the dark, moody tone of this one. There is a certain cacophony happening here, but in a sort of creative destruction way. It has that non sequiter feeling of a real dream. That's challenging to do, and I think you pulled it off.
John Lennon started it with God pt.I, U2 followed with God pt.II, and I was presumptuous enough to think I could do God pt.III. A wee nod here and there to the first two tracks with my own twist.

"The harmonies in the chorus were fun to record..." and absolutely wonderful to hear. Picking up your Lennon shades here too - very cool!
Great funky, loose groove. Love the cheeky percs in the bridge.
Love the way this one kind of slinks along. Sounds like an absolute classic on the first listen. Fantastic, Gary!
AMEN!
That chorus is infectious :-) very cool song! Enjoyed! KC

Ok, I just got a little greener. I love big soaring songs like this. So open, so wide. Great song Alex, great song.
Another great song...it sounds like Blind Faith wants to be you. I love the tone of this song. The gtr riffs are pure ear candy. Very tasty.

Love the gtrs, dark, vibrato tones. Cool Tom Waits vibe here with the vox. This is cool Jay, very cool.
