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…

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…
This one's the single. It's fun to play and fun to sing when I was in the studio. It's meant to played loud. Actually, the whole album is. Thanks for listening! Cheers, Gary
Don't tell me how it is, I'm good, I got it, I got it. But are we blind, and are there cracks in a facade? The riff was what came first, probably while watching the idiot box one evening. I am pretty sure it came very soon after RPM '15, and I…
The guitar part came first, and it was so much fun to just walk around the place playing it. It had to become a song. In a very circuitous way became the title track to this year's record.
Another one where the riff fell out of me on a rainy summer's day. The words came to me, or more like fell out of me, while stuck in cold airplane with just a few people, waiting to fly home.

The song that led the way. I came up with the guitar sound first, and needed a song that evoked the pure energy that was coming from that guitar sound. It needed to be fast and intense. And it needed harmonies. We're full abandon 'cause it's time…
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…

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.
