I came back for a second listen on this one to check out the "60s studio tricks" again - but WOW, this song, the song itself, is a grower... 2nd listen, it could well be my favourite... The fade-in flanged part is "shivers down the spine" time... almost a pity it fades so soon after that!
And there's something really uplifting about this one. Each time the chorus comes round... fab.
Cool guitar sounds too - over the whole album - but I love them here.
This song is meant to be the intro, set the stage, and talk about the direction of the album. The riff came to me while I was absent-mindedly noodling on my gtr in front of the idiot box one day. I knew at that point I had an album opener of a…
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…
Like a fine wine, you've matured well over the years, my friend. Nice, juicy, mellowed out sounds with good intensity, an edge of spicyness and a long aftertaste.

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…
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…
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…

Man, we need to find a way to stop time. I suspect a month outside of reality would yield some pretty amazing music if we got all of our musical cronies together in a studio house in the mountains.

They say you got me hooked
They say you drive…
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…
Matt, this album is really something special. Your singing is great, the performances are top notch, and I love the production. Be proud of this, be really proud. Great ****ing record, my good sir.
An afternoon on the Saco with Karen always leads to delusions of grandeur. Now where did I leave that eye patch?

And this one - I'm always a sucker for descending bass-lines!
On first listen, this was one of the standout tracks for me.
Well that was a very enjoyable 40 minutes - loved it all the way through - nice one, cool album Gary.
A rocking great way to start a Saturday! Great energy in this one!
Man....always SO good!
Like a fine wine, you've matured well over the years, my friend. Nice, juicy, mellowed out sounds with good intensity, an edge of spicyness and a long aftertaste.
Very nice.
Excellent. I like your vocals non double-tracked.
Oh hell yes.
Crazy blend of styles. Instant fave.
...I may need to cover this track someday. So friggin good. Maybe your strongest vocals ever.
Such a gem, this track. Crazy good opening riff. Every time I hear this, I wish I'd written it... And I sure as hell wished I'd sung it.
Where has this been hiding. I may need to go delving into the Fox deep track stacks.
Oh, there's the love.
Oh, hell yes.
Fab!!
This is just crazy good. I wish I'd written it.
Man, we need to find a way to stop time. I suspect a month outside of reality would yield some pretty amazing music if we got all of our musical cronies together in a studio house in the mountains.

Another cool groove from KC's Groove. Love the guitar in this!
Fantastic spread and air in this mix. Loving the groove on the gtr coming out of the far right speaker. Nice!
Instant hit. Love the intro!
I love the guitars on this. Great tone!
Still love this tune...
This is a really cool number, Brett!
Cool, different textures on this one, very smooth and subversive. Nice work!
Nice riff, cool tune!
Dude...I love this, and not just because of the subject matter...
Matt, this album is really something special. Your singing is great, the performances are top notch, and I love the production. Be proud of this, be really proud. Great ****ing record, my good sir.
This intro is fantastic.
Cool number. For some reason it sounds like it could have been part of School House Rock back in the day...
The production quality on your record this year is over the top, Matt. Really stellar job.
Cool departure from the rest of the record. Bass is awesome.
Love the syncopation. Matt, this record is kick-arse.
This. Is. F***ing. Awesome.
Brilliant.
Damn, Matt. You have nailed a great vibe and sound here.
Dude, this sounds fantastic!
Wow...great, great record, Keith. Every number was so very good; you captured a mood here. Congrats!
