So, I did multiple demos of this in my bathroom (for the echo) in the days before recording it. It is fun to play on acoustic. I record the real thing and it just screamed string quartet (or the Fox version of said quartet) I had never done strings…
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…

I am Ironman.
With this one, I purposely kept it stripped down. I could have lavished it up, but I wanted the tone to match the stark clarity of realization. Sometimes this one sounds thin to me, but stark clarity sometimes has the same: "That…
A chance gtr line turns into a big production. This is a song I wrote for myself, meaning it's probably too long, it probably has too many parts and it probably has too much going on in it. YET, I don't care. I wrote it for me. Oh, and I am very…
Bouncy, with ear candy. Wanted to do something different with this one, keep it from being too predictable. I think I succeeded. I also happen to really like my "squawk, squawk" gtr stabs in the verses.
Eerie, mournful, beautiful, but so, so lonely.
These are the words of a friend listening to it. When you make a conscious choice as to who you should be, what you were meant to be, what you have failed to be, until now...
This one is meant…
Stripped down, I almost did this one as a live, one take vox and gtr "on-mike" bit. I did the song, kind of liked, but decided to do a tracked version, just to see what it would sound like. Ended up liking it more.
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…

This is a fun track Gary, I really dig it. Lot's space for the guitars and vox to breathe here, it serves the song well. Didn't see that breakdown coming, cool surprise!
Yay!! with Feb over and life almost back to normal, I get to check out a whole new Gary Fox album!! Great track to kick it off with! Wonderful cover art btw Gary.

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.

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
Cool - WAY to COOL!
Great writing! The string quartet really works well!!
Great tune - I like the kinda psychedelic tinge that it has. Rocks hard!!

Slightly tainted in darkness with some luscious tones once again, great stuff.

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.
