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 ;~)
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…
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

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…
I love that laugh - i love how real this album is. Lovely vocal Jess. I will try to more coherent later but Funeral has just started and I'm a wee bit distracted1
Wow! this is going to be epic. I'm straight into Haight Ashbury, that piano is superb. It's loose to the point of being shambolic but it has such a strange momentum that it never fails. Faved. And those twin flutes. wonderful.
This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way
Things…
My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…
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.

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
I’ve seen the trimmings you destroy
The kindness that you avoid
Our subtle ways our sad affairs
Our vagrant airs dissolve to noise
What do you contemplate you're standing still
Your posture motivates the scene
You still don’t understand…
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
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.
Now that's a song. Nice!
This is a great track mate dig it very much
Nice one mate very cool track.
You're vocal take on this track is excellent.... so emotive.
Great stuff Gumbo!
such passion in your playing...that's what it's all about. I'm a big fan Gumbo.
lovely...you got the music in you. Love your style!
Nice one man!
Sounds great, man!
Just listened to both versions back to back, different treatments of the same theme. Great!
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.

faved again. Will you play at my wedding? I'll see if i can organise one.
Love it!
I was watching out and it still surprised me! brill

YAY! here they come!!
this is very pretty
love the beat to this. Excellent!
had these on in the back ground while i cooked dinner i'll have to come back to sort out my faves but it works as an album - very solid.
Hooray - i can fave this too!
no excuse needed, decent filling makes the sandwich! faved
I knew i'd be blown away! It's like late 60's Temptations. Man, you got those Soul Man chops nailed. I'm VERY impressed.
thanks for the comment, MEJ I feel the same way sometimes but Hey! could you be more specific about what you think needs to be different?
just when i think it's safe you pull out the scary music! Excellent.
This is a lovely album. Exactly what i need after the last month. Thank you.
LOL Bethan - that is turning out to be true ....
LMAO - you're right, reg! I thought it was easy to play!
Brrrings it out !! love it Shades of Steve Harley perhaps and those harmonies are stunning. spot on and punchy as hell. Great song.
I'm still in mix mode so the first thing i notice how nicely you handle the change in volume towards the end. let's hear it for dynamic range!!
beautiful production! lol - i can't listen to music anymore - only technical details - can you tell i'm in mix mode?
