RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…

A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.
Old fox coming down the road now Bunny Bunny
Run Run Bunny Bunny Go
White tails bobbing in the air there funny bunny
Go Go Bunny Bunny Run…
I should have said something before now - but can I just say that I love this tune, as does my boy who laughs everytime I play it and then sings it for the rest of the day. Good times.
Having fun (finally) playing around with the riff for this tune by Howling Wolf, which is based on a song by Charley Patton and another by the Mississippi Sheiks and another by Tommy Johnson and so on ...

A cover of Iron Angel Forge's song from his 2009 RPM Challenge album, Not Forsaken. He is here at alonetone under the name IronAngel.
I haven't told him yet, though, so it's a surprise ;~)
I had no idea myself - I just got into this morning and started to get the feel of the song and the house was all quiet and then presto - it was done. Now I should get back outside and get the scrap into the trailer like I'm supposed to!
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…
An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present.

This is a live recording of a set I did with guitarist Mike Levine on a University of New Hampshire radio show. This is one of the 'songs' we did. It is a 5-tune Irish fiddle set that was previously done by the great Irish fiddle player Martin…
This was a total experimental piece about just making a soundscape. I played instruments I don't really play, and put some thru different effects just to experiment. The Bushisms add some color to what would otherwise just be some noise. I…

That's lovely playing there. Ah it's good to hear this. Martin was born just down the road from here, and we get to hear him play quite often. Bravo to ye for tackling this and making such a great track
I do not know anyone named Lilly Child. I just thought the name sounded good.
This is third of 10 "Off the cuff" songs written last June. I have only recorded 4 of the 10
This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it!
This is now…
I've uploaded some remixes and this one is probably the most different as it has a re-recorded lead guitar part and sounds a lot better - thanks to Uglifruit for the crit.
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…
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…
Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry
Dont care about the content I just want to make em notice me
Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely
Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be.
Caligraphy…
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…
