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'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
Can you hide in happiness
Can you disguise the sadness in your voice
Could you play only major chords
Can you hide in happiness
Choose a part of you to show
And no one around you can know
Just how deep the scars go
Can you hide in…

I’m always walking backwards looking forwards
Dragged back to the past
You think i’ve got nothing left but for loving you
But babe thats not all I do
I dream when I am not…
RPM 2013
Searching for the words
To let you know
I consider you
A perfect work of art
Studying the curves
And the brush strokes
Every inch is
Easily my favorite part
Trying to be smooth
But you shake my spine
I am coloring outside…
Liner Notes
It was Valentines day so my muse was like 'yeah, you gotta write one'. The first verse popped into my head as I was working in the morning had the lyrics done in about 15 minutes with rough chords and stuff in about 10 more. Recorded…
This is a live recording of a set I did with guitarist Mike Levine on a University of New Hampshire radio show. This is one of the 'songs' we did. It is a 5-tune Irish fiddle set that was previously done by the great Irish fiddle player Martin…
Back to enjoy this once again!
i just got home to find a mandolin on my doorstep ( i ordered it ;-) a bit of a risk but i needed it for RPM).
So it is most fortuitous to remember this magical recording. Hup!

Cheers! Some good drowning yourself in whiskey music. Catchy in a good way.
Yawl did good on this, I love WG. Thanks for the link!
great old timey feel...right out of woody's boot heel
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!
Beautiful...great job man!
nice...
very nice interlude
I like both versions! Great album!

Yee-ha! I <3 this. *sings along in campfire stylie*
Classic, 'bo! Love it!
Great playing, Sir.
*agrees with Jay* Can I just come along and cook the beans?
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.

Good to hear, I mean :D
Love it. The harmonies, the laconic delivery, the hip-hop breaks. Wonderful. Good to you guys again :)
Oh yes! Added to the Piratical Playlist!
"Don't say Nobody. I do" This is so beautiful.
Amen, brother.
Such a propulsive groove! Shake out your cobwebs! PLAY LOUD!!! DANCE!!
Wanton domesticity starts to crack :) This is cool.
Good stuff
Love it! Opens a nice early Elvis Costello vibe, and the American Noir vocal is great.
Nize!
Rockin'
A lovely spacious feel. Puts me in mind of the Stone Roses a bit if they'd been mellower ..
Love it. Trusting your RPM is coming along with some inscrutable inner momentum.
I like this so much more than my version! How you doing these days, dude?
Good stuff!

Bebop eat your heart out! :-)
Nice. A little glimpse into the comings and goings around the house!
I'm digging the poignancy here. Such a beautiful mournful vocal.
That's a groove
