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!

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 ;~)
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…

spider silk of the stars
heard me playing the ghost dobro
saw me slip through the bars
to quench my fevered glow
her allure was practiced and warm
and all the…
driving that Infiniti all along the coast
doctor of divinity - I didn't mean to boast
with your strange affinity for whiskey & coke
and looking at the stars
brother Shawn, here's a disk for your collection
we're gonna go check out this here…
This is the first rough, acoustic take of the song 'Iris Florentine' from the album Orchids for Betty.
It's super acoustic and just three mono tracks mixed to a stereo file, so don't expect too much by way of production values.
Lyrics follow…
A funky tune about my step-dad. This is an out-take from my RPM09 effort. I used the rock version for the cd, though in retrospect I think this version is better! Oh, well...
I was thinking about a guy that I met one time in the street in Montreal who was just kind of aimlessly wandering about Canada following the death of his son...
Manitoba:
I’m on my way, on my way,
On my way back to Dufresne…
I remember…
I have to find time to sit back and blast this album out. I've heard three tracks so far when I'm rushed and I keep wanting to play the whole thing LOUD.
Another great track, David.
2009 Record Production Month Challenge offering. Very pleased with the collective results. The title came from my friend Zane. His iced tea was in a damaged cup. Thus the title. There are various quotes in the song including some from Mishima…
The title just popped into my head unannounced one day and I had to try to work from that. About a girl with a broken radio and the repairman who would do anything to find her a new one and win her love...
It certainly appears broken, Minerva…
A song about the lost art of the mix-tape and knowing that someone is trouble but doing it anyway...
Compilation Tapes:
Did I mention that I think that you’re a real fine dancer and I like the way you dress?
I’ve known a number of girls…

Another brilliant job. Nice work, Stu.

Cool piece and well done!
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.
Comments made by Gumbo
How indeed. Wonderful sound and a great mix. And yes - straight off of The Big Pink. Stellar!
I must have heard this somewhere else, Rob. Faved.
Yep. That's cool alright.
I tried not to like this - I'm not keen on the vocal but dang, it's another great song!
Damn that's tight!
Stunning! Love it!
This one reminds me of Jonathan Richman, too. Great stuff.
Beautiful! and such a lovely chorus.
Great harmonies. I laughed a lot at this.
Love these lyrics, Rob. Fred sounds like a cool codger.
1977 !! Yeah this works for me, too. Gritty and a younger character, and breaking out rather than lost! Good one.
I have to find time to sit back and blast this album out. I've heard three tracks so far when I'm rushed and I keep wanting to play the whole thing LOUD. Another great track, David.
the other joint fave. Thanks Colin. I enjoyed listening today.
No! It's the one I wanted to play first! Though I'm glad I listened in order. joint fave.
I was hoping for more like this. Strong guitar rhythms and an easy flowing vocal. Faved.
definitely a stand out track - the voice is great for the philosophical imagery.
Love the guitar frippery - good track
Smashing!! You've got really strong melodies, so easy to settle into this. Damn. Two favourites in two listens! It's a shame I got to go to work!
Great voice! And I love the " old soul music on a third hand radio " Love it!
lovely pace. I like this a lot.
