Guest vocalist Shaka brings the icing to this rather haunted version of the first chapter of Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier!

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

Excellent version! Did you send it in to the Akron/Family? For anyone who is interested, my version is [here](http://alonetone.com/cavestreet/tracks/woody-guthries-america). The web page where the various versions are being posted is [here](http://akronfamily.com/woodyproject/Splash.html).
Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times.
This is the one act musical version.
I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.
sat nite we got together and played thru our rpm album and then listened to your rpm and some others. i was so inspired by your music.amazing, earthy and real. i have officially given up mainstream music! keep doin it gumbo!-MF

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!)

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

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.

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...

If they sing good, they are good. I'll be singing 'this ain't the road and it's not the way it should go' for a while. Love that perplexity.
Just stopped by for a listen. I like your approach to blues. It's simple, accoustic, and very enjoyable. ER
Shaka has the voice of an oceanic angel. More please!
Re. RPM - This would be my choice for your preferred track - FWIW. :-)
