Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well...
It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink.
Listen…
This was another fun one for me, especially doing the backing vocals. The song is a bit haphazard, structurally speaking, and my performance has some technical issues, but it was just fun to play.
The riff came to me early one, but kept elluding…

Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD!
Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…
What's rock and roll without a yee-haw or war-whoop before a solo?
This ragged piece of something or other came from a riff I had laying around for a couple of years. I pieced it together kind of last minute for RPM 2006. It's not bad, a lot…
This is a really well played and produced track Gary, I was actually sending you a message to say that we really appreciate your comments, ha ha and heard this.
One of the songfight inspired titles for RPM 2007. This was also picked out of a hat. This one is the mother of all semitone slide bass/root note chord smashers. It's everywhere. The lyrics are some of my favorite, though most people have no idea…
Enjoying your stuff Gary. Thanks for the comments as well. That was ebow on the "timekeeper" cut. I'll check out more of your stuff when I have a bit more time. Love the chorus on this BTW
This song is done in a dropped F tuning. I won't bore you with the tuning itself, but the same tuning makes an appearance in Consequence, Painted Tense, 70 and others. My favorite part of the song is the verse after the solo. For some reason I…
With a title like this, you have to listen once, right?
There's a lot to tell about this one, but instead I will just say I had a lot of fun doing all the gtr parts on this one. I also really like the bass part in the chorus, which sounds a bit…

This is my stadium anthem, the one to close the show with. Everyone put your lighters (or cellphones) in the air and sing along...
I was sick as **** when I recorded it, so my vocals on it are really pretty bad. Ah well, that's rock and roll…

Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…

This is a track of serendipity (is that how you spell that?) I was hours from deadline, lots of mixing left to do, and this track was FAR from done. I love the congas in this one. In general, this is a fun one for me. For once I actually don't…
Backwards acoustic! In synch with the beat! How did he do that?
I was messing with the acoustic and it was sounding too '67 for me, so I decided to throw a hip-hop beat on it. I kind of like the holes in it, as well as the harmonies. It doesn…

I was going of to bed but when I saw this track by Redler on the collaborations board over on Songcrafters http://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=19632.0 i had to investigate ....i heard it.....and jumped on it ....i can always have…
Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…
Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Hi everyone.. I wrote this song for Archie Watson, son of my dear friends Lauren and Bradley Watson, who sadly was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease just before Christmas. Tay-sachs is a rare genetic disorder for which there is currently no cure…
Nice groove, great feel. Love the strut to this one. Great collection of songs; thanks for brightening this Saturday morning. Perfect fit for the day here...
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…
Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry
Dont care about the content I just want to make em notice me
Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely
Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be.
Caligraphy…
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…
Getting kind of sci-fi here, and I really went overboard with the samples.
It's like if George Clinton and Arjen Lucassen collaborated on a funk electronica piece after watching The 13th Floor on nonstop repeat for three weeks.
Freesound…
I went a little sample crazy this year for the RPM challenge. (This song is the tip of the iceberg, and then it gets far worse.)
Thematically, I guess this one resulted from spending a month between the hospital and a rehab facility last year…
Comments on Gary Fox's stuff
Have spent a very pleasant morning being "rocked" by you, Gary, I must say your harmonies are very tight, thank you.
Most excellent track. Who do you sound like, I wonder? Lovely full sound.
U RUCKIN FROCK !
Nice Work Gary! Shaun
Love this tune! God save the Queen!

Excellent! Love the kinda Beatlesque vocals and the guitar sounds!!
I agree. And I've said that, in abstentia, to many a girlfriend. ER
Liked this track a lot. Nice harmonies. ER
Great CD, really enjoyed it (a few times) this afternoon.
Great riff, Gary! EXCELLENT track!
Thanks for uploading, Gary! There's definitely more room in my life for a little more Fox! This track is feelgood-fantastic.
Oh Yeah- This ROCKS. Love those guitar tones. Makes me wish I still had my old SG
Great collection of songs Gary, I particularly like this one. It rocks.
Gary I like your song and the only I would change would be to mellow out the vocal track. It's a bit loud in the mix. Otherwise great j0b
Really enjoyed your tracks, tell you what - awesome through headphones!
Raunchy Fox.
So good!!
Great tune Gary!!
Comments made by Gary Fox
Great stomping feel on this, cool number!
Great song!
Very nice!
Just perfect.
I like the swirling nature of this. Glad you decided to put it out for us to hear.
Another fine piece of music! Volume pedal and e-bow? Not sure, doesn't matter anyway. Sounds so open and spacious. Love it...
Great sounds, great piece! Is that a volume pedal I hear? Excellent all around, Kirk! Cheers, Gary
I just love this song. In a musical sense, I fall in love with it all over again every time I hear it.
Nice work Lady Jane!
Love the tones...
Cool experimental stuff 34!
Nice groove, great feel. Love the strut to this one. Great collection of songs; thanks for brightening this Saturday morning. Perfect fit for the day here...
Great song.
Great twang and slide. Cool song, very cool.
Wow, what a great use of reverb. This has a fantastic mood. And the bells. Awesome.
Great number.
Great playing, killer lyrics. Very, very tasty.
Sweet creamy music. Sounds like a hot day driving through the country. Excellent.
Awesome
MiniMoog? Great!
