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…

acl is possibly the most inventive and fun listen out there. Put their entire track list on play and just sit back and enjoy. You will not be disappointed.
Holiday song written and recorded for the RPM Holiday Challenge 2011. This is about a California transplant waxing nostalgic about Christmas in New England.

She hangs a little garden
so everyone can fit in her yard
when it's time to take tea
fills it up when they're walking about
they really knew how to twist and shout
and they're always going back that way again

So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...
"Driftwood"
Coming down…
Well, here's a quick stripped-down version of a song that I wrote a couple of weeks ago and needed to record just to get it out of my head... Also my first crack at harmonizing with myself (kinda cool, but a bit weird for me to hear me singing…
Blue Bird Sax what can I say. A fantastic off the cuff blues jam recorded Mother's Day weekend 2011. Please let us know your thoughts.
BC-Bass, Mondo-Drums, Danny-Sax, Hojo-Sound

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…
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!
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.

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!!

Hey Alex, I love the tone and sonic textures on this song.
acl is possibly the most inventive and fun listen out there. Put their entire track list on play and just sit back and enjoy. You will not be disappointed.
Great ambiance and tones here. I love the kaleidoscope of sounds.
This is awesome. I love it.
Nice work. Great cover and killer twist with the new wave tones.
Nice falsettos here. I love the build heading into the parts at 1:40, actually I love the whole thing.
Another great song...love the changes and how the lead work weaves in and out of the chords.
This is fantastic. Great song...I am impressed you could use carbine in a song as well.
I love the chord progression and vox on this one. Great sound.
Great tones, love the viby gtr. You've found your vox, nice work mate.
Great track, Brett.
Great album, excellent composition.
Cool track, love the classical sound and feel. Excellent movement throughout the piece.
Great song, Cal. Super catchy, love the horn parts...
Great song Cal, we need more of you on this site.
Great song Keith, perfect for a hot summer day, while driving at the beach in a convertible.
Nice one Keith, great sing along factor on the chorus.
Great groove...Cool vibe throughout this.
Nice piece Richard, really nice.
I like the high strummed parts interjected periodically with the fuzz parts. Moody number, and I don't mean a pun here. Good stuff.
