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…
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

A couple of jigs I wrote after spending time on Inishmore in the Aran Islands.
More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992
Just messing around on a Saturday morning. A
rough cut at best, but I get a kick out of it.
This is a song by the great Jimmy Dean - 1961
I used to spin this 45 RPM record way back when I
wore a young boy's clothes. I always wanted to
cover…
My submission for the Woody Project.
I started this jam in A minor then found out it was in C. So I figure I got as close as a guess can get.
I left it as is because it's a jam, and this tune should be jammed 300 million ways.
Enjoy Woody…

lovely - my only connection to this kind of polyrhythm is thru the Grateful Dead whose two drummers used to explore and experiment thusly.
I like that you can say it has 4 beats AND 6 beats to the measure and then say that it has 180 bpm ;-)
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.

I remember the orange label! And i came across a version of the B side recently and it's been bugging me where i heard it before, til i saw this. Now i know lol
good fun!
A song that has it all. Two chords, great energy, positive lyrics and a punk meets reggae vibe. This is a cover of Stiff Little Fingers version. Original was written by Bunny Wailer after he left Bob Marley's Wailers.
Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…
Kind of a Sonic Youth version of the old folk tune. This was with my band Lincoln The Chain. Our vision was to create new and weird versions of tunes from the old timey days. Traveling music for post apocalyptic underground railroad...

You're vocal take on this track is excellent.... so emotive.

Gumbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deep sounding song.
Wow! Very FNG! Great Vocals man.
cool!
Very very cool.
Nice one man!
love it!
It works in exactly the same way that--after memorizing a Clapton version of a JJ Cale song--you finally hear JJ do it. Does that make sense?
Sweet.
Hard to write a classic. You were blessed.
Comments made by Gumbo
a friend recently explained that you can recognise a hornpipe by imagining you are dancing and one of your legs is shorter than the other!
I like that second jig, Doug - lovely
kickin' ! what does she say at the end?
mellow grooves, Alex. very enjoyable - this is my fave
Jimmy Dean just passed away, which is one of those things that happen to people after a while, and well worth remembering.
I can't look !! lol good fun!
Nice work Bri, i actually enjoyed listening to this and i don't particularly like my version. The bass gives it a lovely roll.
nice groove (tra-vell-in) i like the (tra-vell-in) bass line (tra-vell-in) especially (tra-vell-in)
thanks for explaining the count btw - that helps a lot

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

Effin GREAT!
Peter Gabriel eat your heart out!

Yay Salamanders! Yay Toasters!
