First done by Dock Boggs back in the 20s, it's a great piece of melancholy parafunalia. Eerie to think it's a suicide note and reassuring to know he was still a tough old bird 40 years later.
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
Surprise!!
There's a video for this now. Not a big production job, but ... actually there's no 'buts'. It's genuine lo-fi small production. My favourite :-)
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

Eloquent, tuneful and moving - I look forward to perusing the back catalog you've assembled here.
How're things in your neck of the woods? Glad to see you're keeping busy.
Look for a PM from me soon.

Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
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…
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…

Lyrics:
Skip ahead to her in pants,
watch her dance in the living room
in front of all the other dinner guests.
She thumbs her nose at simulacra,
but someone must play Cleopatra
in the PTA's yearly drama fest.
Her husband broke his body…
A live improvised recording for the RPM Challenge 2011
recorded 2/19/11 at Dunn Bros. Coffee in Keller, Tx.
Kavin.: guitar, loops
Michelangelo: buzz guitar
Ross Reitzammer: flute
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…

thanks Alex
I'm still not sure meself but it calls for drastic measures.
either i have to change the lyric or i have to call the album 'The Cat's Moustache'.
Reg has been with the new women in his life now for a while.She has noticed that Reg has an air of sadness around him.She wants to get to the bottom of it.She starts to ask him why? all the time. Reg wants to keep his secrets of his past to himself…
LMAO
you might be able to imagine what it's like to cue this up after reading the comment you left on Willie McTell. That was possibly the nicest thing anyone ever said to me and then this song starts up :
"No need to thank me
For making you happy ..."
Love it.
Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Jekyll and Hyde
are both well and alive
and they're living inside of home
Jekyll is kind to me
Smiles all the time to me
Hyde is a wild arrow from a bow
As much as Jekyll makes you smile
If she drinks herself some wine
You'll be the one that…

This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…
First of 24 new song I have written. This one is cute, about unrequited love no doubt. #:)
When I say 24 new songs not all will make the cut but most of them will. I will be busy for a good long time!!
Using pointless picks of course.
See my…
tried listening to this but Alonetone hasn't played anything for me for about 2 hours. Thanks for the feedback again. That's exactly the kind of thing i need to hear. I've been aware of it and tried different positions and things around the mike but didn't think of Eqing it - i try to avoid that kind of fiddling as i get lost so easily in there but if there is something specific to do i should be able to figure it out.
Thanks again and good to see you getting some new songs in the pipeline.

Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
thanks for the kind words and the feedback guys and gals - i'm not sure you can even find my voice with a spade, tho ....
i shall have a play around with the Eq and see if i can make head or tail of it. It's not something i've used much to tell the truth (and why not tell the truth once in a while eh?) so i might actually learn something.
I did this last summer as I can hear a car go by my window. Anyway it's an old song by the great Hoagy Carmichael. I wanted to wait until I could redo the vocal part because I am not happy with it. It's just a scratch track and after I listened…
I love Hoagy Carmicheal - got some old 78s in the attic but never did get around to finding a cd of his stuff. Nice track and a good choice for a cover
This is the first demo [Sister Savage](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) and I have made for our RPM 2011 album.
Although I've uploaded a copy here we'd be really grateful if you would listen to the [version uploaded by Sister](http://alonetone…
actually this is a good place to comment on the piano here, which is so evocative, and guides the mood beautifully. I appreciate it more each time i hear it.
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
Seems like there ought to be 11 or 12 seas by now, what with inflation and all. Hugely enjoyed.
This was fun to listen to...Aarrhhh!
Oh Gumbo, I do love your Pirate Day songs. How the heck do you manage to sound so Cornish? Fascinating! Proper job my 'ansome.
Yeah hooo, shiver me timbers. I love this one. Great sea song. Damn fine.
FNG!
walk de plank matey. Yarrrr.
Yeah, definitely nailed the Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg feeling. Love it.
Surprise!! There's a video for this now. Not a big production job, but ... actually there's no 'buts'. It's genuine lo-fi small production. My favourite :-)
this is so sweet! wicked cheeky lyrics
Cool! Missed this one. How's things on the west coast of Eire?
As always, Gumbo, just terrific musicianship! Holy friggin' Woody Guthrie reincarnated!

Every time I get lost while out running this song plays in my head.
hehe very kool
Bunny track is funny and Cloud makes a movie in my head - Refreshing and Cool sounds.
Well done!!
Was not Woody Arlo's dad? I am not as familiar with Woody Guthrie's body of work,homework for me then,this is cool.
My kind of blues,spot on matey,spot on.
This has a cajun zydeco sound and rhythm to it,I can hear accordions or as you say a hot fiddle sawing away behind it,well cool.
Thanks for the comments. Great fun to play along too.
Comments made by Gumbo
Wonderful. can we have the lyrics? i could spend many happy hours just reading them! O a tempo change and a beauty at that. faved.
O .. O .. a yeti !! nice transitions guys - i dig it
there's a lovely little de-do-de-do in there that i keep hoping will come again so i am really happy at 1.38
LMAO!!!!! it's so sad ....
Beautiful and heartfelt. It's a smasheroo!
i re-sang this because the start was bugging me so it's slightly, not radically, different and in a good direction.
LOL Love it!
thanks Alex I'm still not sure meself but it calls for drastic measures. either i have to change the lyric or i have to call the album 'The Cat's Moustache'.
I hear ya buddy!

I uploaded a cheap n cheerful video for this

Just click play
Wow I could believe this was Buffalo Springfield!
thanks for the comments, Alex. Nufff said :-) this is wonderful - right up my alley. I'm going to love your album this year!

Cool melody and i love the way the second guitar builds on the groove unexpectedly
