hey man, another cool tune...they're all great actually...i love your mandolin playing throughout the album too! well, you know i'm partial to that...love all the lyrics too
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 happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09

this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
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 know I sent you a private message about this at RPM, but it's tracks like this that remind me what I love about music. Thanks so much and faved (as well as a few others) I'm still only halfway through too :), I think I'm gonna have to make an RPM mix CD this year!

I just left this on repeat for the last hour
There's a wonderful melancholy to it that sits nicely with the optimistic trotting horse of the music
I love this!
Dang, everyone except Rob (and Laura) (and me) liked the previous version! (Cupid's Own Knife)
Only i did this with the lyrics so maybe one can be a bonus track ...
aargghh ... why didn't i write a *different* song?
i just went and re-read what you wrote at RPM, Rob/Laura and I must apologise - you actually said you like it - i didn't though, so i re-recorded, but then it felt like me against the world lol
ANd now guess what - i listened to the first one again and it sounds OK to me too. Aaaarrggghhh again. :-)
Weird how my mind plays tricks on me

This is a good place for me to be....it does me good to remember this.
God around me
God within me
there's nothing i need to fear
always remember you're here
Love is a slippery beast.
Just when you think you've got a firm hold of it, it squirts out of your hands like a piece of wet soap and ends up somewhere in India on a spiritual quest for an obscure guru.
better than i expected from your write up lol
this is pretty smooth and i think i might have to fave it
i'll hold off for a few minutes though to make sure i'm not just ab-reacting
This is the finished version of Iris Florentine. The acoustic version is still up, though...

Big fat fave. Love this, Stu - your voice sounds awesome (and I love those low down dirty notes especially!).
Really enjoyed that Gumbo.
Great tune, well done!

Classic, 'bo! Love it!
Great playing, Sir.

Another one to keep for those nice summer evenings. I wanna go camping with you and a couple of guitars Stu!
This one had me wanting to play along
I'm keeping this one for myself for summer.

Very Nice Mr Choirvey! Love the shifts within it.
My partner just asked if this was Antony and the Johnsons, which I take as a fine compliment so I'm passing it on. Beautiful track.
Groovy track. Builds nicely And five stars for the written introduction! That's so true!
Heavenly Heartbreak, Batman! What a melter! Poo-Pa-Doo, baby.
