From December 2017, my take on an old classic, with a little twist of a bonus number near the end. It may be the first tune I did in 6/8 time, at least that anyone has heard from me. This (sort of) should have a rolling highlands sound to it…
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.
Three friends gone in three months. One on purpose, one by accident, one by surprise. Love those who are close to you, and be kind, for everyone you meet carries a heavy load.
The song is supposed to be one of those "Saturday Morning Hits", which goes back to when I was a kid watching Top of The Pops in '72-'74 with my older sister in the UK. You would see all these bands playing their hit on TV, with all these kids…
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

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.

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
Hey Alex...this track made me turn green with envy. Your voice is f***ing awesome. The trade-off of the gtr and the keys is perfect, well balanced. Laid back back-beat groove. Yeah, just checked the mirror, I am pure green.
Cheers,

Jay, you should try to get movie soundtrack work. This song would be great for some of the darker horror movies. You really have an original flair, and this screams "Welcome to my altered state, dark, dark world." Brilliant. DO something with this music, it needs to be out there.
This track was born out of an annual project or "artbomb" at New Year's, where a bunch of artists get together, pick a word or "theme" and all upload our musical interpretations of said word or theme. This was from a couple of years ago when the…
I love the dark, moody tone of this one. There is a certain cacophony happening here, but in a sort of creative destruction way. It has that non sequiter feeling of a real dream. That's challenging to do, and I think you pulled it off.
John Lennon started it with God pt.I, U2 followed with God pt.II, and I was presumptuous enough to think I could do God pt.III. A wee nod here and there to the first two tracks with my own twist.

It has shades of Paul Revere and the Raider's Spirit in the Sky mixed in what has to be the most rocking version I've heard!

Ok, I just got a little greener. I love big soaring songs like this. So open, so wide. Great song Alex, great song.
Another great song...it sounds like Blind Faith wants to be you. I love the tone of this song. The gtr riffs are pure ear candy. Very tasty.

Love the gtrs, dark, vibrato tones. Cool Tom Waits vibe here with the vox. This is cool Jay, very cool.
