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…
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.
Great song. The tune reminds me a bit of "House of the Rising Sun", which can be traced back to the Appalachian area in the early 1900's (Alan Price of the Animals has claimed that the song was originally a sixteenth-century English folk song about a Soho brothel, and that English emigrants took the song to America where it was adapted to its later New Orleans setting.) Cool piece and well done!

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…

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 wrote Dancing Vampires while reading the book "The Historian", which is a story of a man and his accomplices’ quest to find Dracula in present day Europe. I love history and all of its grit. This song speaks of primal human instincts. We are…
Inspired by a gorgeous recording on a wax cylinder by the composer, Tanburi Cemil Bey (1873-1916).
Performed on politiki lyra (classic kemençe), a small bowed fiddle from Istanbul.
Recorded at The Banff Centre, November 2008.
This is just a quick little track we did in celebration of reviving the recording computer. It is the opening track of a soundtrack disk for a friend who is running a Call of Cthulhu role playing game. He plans on playing it in the background…
I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)
This started sounding quite Nick Caveish and at the same time I wanted to do something with Joe Meek; so it's a murderballad-variation on Johnny Remember me. There's stylophone and theremin in there. The theremin is quite effective at some points…
this is pretty ruff, but i don't see myself rerecording it anytime soon plus i can't find the lyrics and i'm too lazy to write them down ... anyways. i guess its just a bunch of thoughts about God, a little dramatic. enjoy!
OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened?
Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)
I go back far enough to remember waiting for Ruben and the Jets to be issued on CD, but I think you might have me beat there, kirk. One of my favourite discs. I could get into some beefier backing vocals - that'd be fun.
Nice stereo guitaring, great rhythm.
Love it! Hot vocals, too, heheh, magic!
Who on earth does it remind me of?
Faved. and a fab solo - this has everything :~D
Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you!
@Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions!
@kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!

Another brilliant job. Nice work, Stu.

Just ducky Mr. Gumbo. I love it!!
From the samples I've been listening too, DB was a monster banjo picker, among other things.
:) A fun big kid's tune as well. Hightail it Bunny...
R.I.P Dock!
thanks guys kavin. - there's a good Folkways collection of Boggs' 60s recordings and you can hear a few of his 78rpm sides at the Archive.org
Just goes to show you can't trust some people. Ha! It's a great song with the special Gumbo treatment.
Most enchanting Gumbo. Our little ladies will like this one too.
Sister Savage Said.... I hope Bunny pulls out a handgrenade and smashes the lot of them. Nice track! ME.. *GASP* hehe
I know I hate it when I run out of hot fiddle.
Thanks for resurrecting this tune. Well done. Will have to look up some more of Boggs' work.
Very cool! Love the harp breaks!
Like it.. Go Bunny!
Smashing cover! Great harmonies GUUUUMBOOOOO!!!!!
I hope Bunny pulls out a handgrenade and smashes the lot of them. Nice track!
Love the sparseness to this. Simple but very effective. This has a classic feel to it. Well done!
Very smooth, very interesting.
Awesome.
Iron Angel is a great grizzly blacksmith man who would probably love that you covered his tune and such a great job you did doing so.

Funk it up!
That's just the kind of anthem we need round here!
loved the rhythm in your vocals - and they are a good contrast to the backing. the music is mesmerising. Je vous remercier
Nice intro! reminds me of Jack L. Very cool!
Thanks to Bethan, or I wouldn't have known about this. Beautifully played. Have you got any more music?
Not a moment too soon!
Yep! we can see out again, now! This is definitely an up and at 'em track :~D
LOL Yes! That's what this needs - a video with thunderstorms and dancers!
Good! I'll listen to this and then go and mow the grass!
Missed this. Bravo!
Ah! Domestic Bliss! I like this version a lot ;~)
Excellent. You nailed it!
those harmonies coming up to 3 minutes make the back of my neck start to stretch! Sublime!
FUN KEY !!
Brother Ray. Yes, and some Strummer, too. Kicking!

lovely contrast between the pace of the guitar and the laid back vocal. Great! Reminds me of Nick Drake in lots of ways.
@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you! @Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions! @kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!
Hahaa! Certainment! Bring your potions - the more the merrier!
