Smiling in the first few seconds. This is the Gumbo I love. Lies and Tales is one of my absolute favourites RPM albums of all time, so the bar is pretty high - but this is toe tapping classic Gumbo awesomeness. Yep yip.
I live in faith that one day somebody will make a movie or tv show in the appropriate milieu to feature your music and it will receive the accolades that it deserves. You're such a great songwriter and your sound is pure and authentic.
A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…

This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.
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.

I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals.

beautiful - and inspired by Dave' comment i have to chime in that it's like finding an old 78 with no label in a garage sale and taking it home and finding out it's Billie Holiday
this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
Here is the "more complete" track I promised with backing vocals.
A song about loving the real me...who do i see when i look in the mirror? Do I love what I see?....i really want to.
your wooden fingers have felt before
and now they…

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
Great Texas Blues song.I like the fact that a classic blues tune like this was written right here in East Texas.These songs are truly part of the history of this area, trains still run the tracks, but not nearly as important nowadays to the people…
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…

Ha! Yes. My voice was shot on this one but I wanted the character to sound old so it felt appropriate :D Thanks for listening
Nice, vocals match the music perfect. :-}
Can I heart this song again? There. I did it.
Uh...what? Where? How?
Dude. You're such a good songwriter.
I love this track, something about the instruments movements really strikes a feeling. I cannot explain, but this song resonates.
You certainly have some lovely melodies on the guitar my fave so far although I like them all
Howling good riff
Nice playing just perfect for drinking coffee too

Still brilliant.
