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 ...
This is a bonus track as it didn't make the album
For those of you who know my stuff - does this sound like it works? or is it too much like filler - the vocals are effected, there's a drum loop - the guitar is just chopped out of a jam - i…
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…

Aarrhhh ye scurvy sons (and daughters) of sea-rats, the pesky pluckers have been at it again.
Pin back yer lug-holes or it's the plank ye'll be hoping for!

I love that laugh - i love how real this album is. Lovely vocal Jess. I will try to more coherent later but Funeral has just started and I'm a wee bit distracted1
Wow! this is going to be epic. I'm straight into Haight Ashbury, that piano is superb. It's loose to the point of being shambolic but it has such a strange momentum that it never fails. Faved. And those twin flutes. wonderful.
This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way
Things…
My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…
Final version
Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
I’ve seen the trimmings you destroy
The kindness that you avoid
Our subtle ways our sad affairs
Our vagrant airs dissolve to noise
What do you contemplate you're standing still
Your posture motivates the scene
You still don’t understand…
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
Thanks!
You sure you aren't from N'orleans? Cool blues Gumbo!
yeah!!!
Hmmm, this explains Katy Tunstalls first song ...she musta used this riff and certainly the wail...good job on this Gumbo jarvo
Does this work! Are you serious? Works for me alright!
i heart bunnies!
That's a traveling song right there. Wear some rubber off my soles.
Ah yea, peachy keen Gumbo. Fun, Fun tune.
A great kids song!!!
You know I like this very much!!
Gum this is great!!!!
Brilliant!
Whoo whoo, smokin Gumbo!
Thankee kindly, folks.
With a whole lot of Gumbo thrown in! Smokin'! Love your vocals esp.!
This is great man! I can practically hear the crackles from the 78 record!
Nice funky bluesy jam!
Love it. Cracking tune
Great tune.

faved again. Will you play at my wedding? I'll see if i can organise one.
Love it!
I was watching out and it still surprised me! brill

YAY! here they come!!
this is very pretty
love the beat to this. Excellent!
had these on in the back ground while i cooked dinner i'll have to come back to sort out my faves but it works as an album - very solid.
Hooray - i can fave this too!
no excuse needed, decent filling makes the sandwich! faved
I knew i'd be blown away! It's like late 60's Temptations. Man, you got those Soul Man chops nailed. I'm VERY impressed.
thanks for the comment, MEJ I feel the same way sometimes but Hey! could you be more specific about what you think needs to be different?
just when i think it's safe you pull out the scary music! Excellent.
This is a lovely album. Exactly what i need after the last month. Thank you.
LOL Bethan - that is turning out to be true ....
LMAO - you're right, reg! I thought it was easy to play!
Brrrings it out !! love it Shades of Steve Harley perhaps and those harmonies are stunning. spot on and punchy as hell. Great song.
I'm still in mix mode so the first thing i notice how nicely you handle the change in volume towards the end. let's hear it for dynamic range!!
beautiful production! lol - i can't listen to music anymore - only technical details - can you tell i'm in mix mode?
