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…

3rd one for RPM2011. This is an 'oh you'll never get to heaven' type affair inspired by a beer my mate introduced me too. The song is basically about drinking yourself to death and having one up on the healthy brigade having made a rather spectacular…
This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…
One of two pretty little interludes for the album, both of which are based around a guitar part Gary did for me. I've put different synth chords behind each of them to cover the two sides of the lady that inspired the full song, Jekyll & Hyde…
Thank you for being you
No one else would do
Thank you for being you
You're all I ask for
Too many nights alone
tonight I'm coming home
open up the wine cos I'm
gonna be with the one who's shown
Me the ways of old
Women into wives…
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…
Jekyll and Hyde
are both well and alive
and they're living inside of home
Jekyll is kind to me
Smiles all the time to me
Hyde is a wild arrow from a bow
As much as Jekyll makes you smile
If she drinks herself some wine
You'll be the one that…
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.
This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way
Things…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
this is a traditional blues tune originally recorded 77 years ago by the legendary robert johnson . since then everyone from the stones to clapton have had a go at it ,i have tried to bring it back to it's starting point IE: a man , an old cheap…
here's a little slice of mid 90s indie rock . i recorded this w/ my awesome...(and saddly defunct!) pub rock combo "sparetire" in 1995 .It's submitted for your approval. hear more sparetire at: www.myspace.com/sparetireband hopefully we'll get…
My opus. By far the longest song I've ever recorded. I tried to make it shorter, but it just didn't work. Sorry. :)
"The Water-Carver" uses a sample from Stereolab's "Changer." (Gane/Sadier)

Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2

Based around a fragment I came up with around 10 years ago in University believe it or not, while I was learning to play guitar. As you can see, I was homesick. :) Thanks so much to Gary for adding a bit of spice with the bass, lead guitar and…
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!!
Comments made by Gary Fox
This is brilliant.
I really like the turn you took this year Alex. This song has some very cool twists and turns. Really a great listen.
And all of a sudden, I realize there's a theme going on here. Love the brief interlude.
Another great rocker. Sweet.
Two of my favorite musicians in one song. Nice.
This is really inventive and cool song. I had to come back and listen twice, just to get a fix on all of the things going on.
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.
Kick-arse number, love the guitar. The vocals are primo, great high notes. This would be a great song to hear live in a club.
Great, great song. The slide is perfect. Love the soulful vocal delivery.
I love the lo-fi tone on this. Very cool, and you have a perfect vocal delivery for this.
I like your songwriting style. I like how you use harmonies on this song as punctuation. Very cool.
Great song Chris. I love the solo on the way out. Great tone, very inventive and tasty.
I love this song.
Simply brilliant.
Great tone, love the harmonica in the mid. Really tasty chord change-ups.
Beautiful song...
Great contrast between some of the country-ish elements and the psycheldia effects. Very 1966, and that is intended as a big compliment.
Great song Mr. Pepper Sea. One of my favorites.
Alex Moody, new king of the British Soul Singers...
Great collab here Alex and G Essex. Oooh, cool change up at 1:28.
