Ok, before I go any further, I need to thank Alonetoner Greg Connor. He proposed a song-writing challenge around the theme of "Who Knew" in early/mid December. Many musicians here in the Alonetone community wrote some amazing songs around this…
I’d love to talk to you some time about how you get your vocals to sound this good (I mean besides just being a much better singer than me). I’m always jealous of how good it all sounds.
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…

There's a historical marker near the side of the road on McCrea Hill just down the road. Jane gets a passing credit as the last line of the plaque reads "Sister Jane was martyred."
Neat little piece of American history you might want to delve…
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
Here is my entry for the "Who Knew" Song Writing Challenge. Thanks for including me :)
Lyrics:
When I was a young boy
I never knew what it meant
to be unloved
When I was a young man
I never knew what it meant
to be undone
Now I’m…
Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge posted in the Alonetone Forum.
_______________________________________________
Who Knew when I first met you
That all your troubles would be mine
And you’d be coming around again…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

**Nobody Loves You - A A J Russe**
Nobody loves you
Like you…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…
This is the first thing I recorded using the telecaster you can see in my profile pic. It's a one-take jam played over one of those guitar magazine backing tracks. Thanks for the listen :-)
My humble tribute to Freddie King... Without him we wouldn't have Eric & without Eric, I would probably have never picked up a guitar.
This is sort of a pastiche of Hide Away & The Stumble & tracks like that :-)
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
A remix in lieu of a cover for the Angie Fights Crime Covers Album. I can't sing in my house at the moment since it either wakes up the 5 month old, or pisses off the 3 year old. So I thought I'd try something different.
The original, is very…
Our cover of the Angie Fights Crime song "Fall Down Trying".

It's all a matter of he said/she said

Comments on Gary Fox's stuff

Heavy duty rock
Beautiful song Gary!
Never heard this one before. Shame on me. Glad I have now. Great song, love the acoustic guitar. Gonna hit that heart and favorite this for revisits.
Killer!
I’d love to talk to you some time about how you get your vocals to sound this good (I mean besides just being a much better singer than me). I’m always jealous of how good it all sounds.
I love this one, Gary.
I love...
Definitely darker than the typical Gary Fox selection. Crazy production quality. Damn fine top five playlist, Gary.
...And one of these days you're going to make an all acoustic album. Or else.
This is one of the first of your songs I ever heard. Instant fan. Been stalking you ever since.
Love when the band kicks in. How have I not favorited this before?
I can see why you chose this excellent song for the ultimate Gary Fox playlist. Getting more and more jealous by the minute.
Yup. Definitely a top fiver. Such a ridiculously good opening riff... And then the song gets better. And better. And better.
cool, dreamy song fine guitarwork enjoyed! KC
beautiful guitars here wonderful song! KC
great song, Gary very much enjoyed best wishes for 2019 KC
Another fine tune, Gary I really like your stuff KC
Proof there aren't enough prog angels! Tight like a festive drum (as always).
Well done my friend!
