I unleash my secret weapon!
Guest vocalist Shaka brings the icing to this rather haunted version of the first chapter of Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier!
Another great tune. I'm quite of envious of your natural (sounding) skill embodying the style. Your playing and singing always strikes me as being perfect.
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

I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals.
This is now a tidied up version 18/3/09

A song for my daughter.
My blue-eyed girl
Living in your blue-sky world
I'll do my best to keep the clouds away
Life is better on a sunny day
Smooth the road out where you go
Let your light shine and watch you grow
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Post RPM jammin'. I don't feel much like cleaning up after RPM. Not yet anyway. I think my little Casio took a beaten and went out of tune. I did this arrangement with just the Casio, guitars and
harmonica, hence the annoying piano and strings…
I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun.
I…
I'm on this like a cop on a minor traffic infringement!!
Great cover! this is right up my street/prairie.
Y'know Wall Of Voodoo themselves were covering this theme from the Clint movie? Perhaps Jackie Mittoo's reggae version was the first cover?
Bit of a waltz.
Everything I know about dancing I learned from watching.
This is my piano debut.
Bethan deserves some of the blame for this one somehow. Thanks.
Some shun or dare not partake in the discussion of passing on from this life. Many search for meaning and fanciful places to reside, after their earthly shells have been left behind. This song is sweet reminder that ignoring and falsifying of…
I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…
This songs reminds me that this is the moment i have. No longer looking for the dawn for the dawn is here.
This is the moment
this is the moment
that i've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
the dawn and the dawn is coming soon

beautiful... as rick says.. perfect
this one is perfect
Sweeeeet!
I like it!
Very enjoyable. Keep up the good work.
nothing valuable to offer critique wise i'm afraid, other than to say that as usual this was thoroughly enjoyed.
I Love the subtleties in your playing and your voice...sublime! A great song!
This stuff is great! I'm a fan!
Excellent music...rustic and real.
absolutely no hesitation is saying it all works. lyrics, mix, the lot. cracking stuff this. really really like this.
Magic indeed. Awesome.
I think the lyrics fit perfectly with the tempo, they were made for each other. The harmonies are a brilliant touch. It's really great Gumbo.
No need for tweaking: this is perfect.
Another nice and beautiful tune. Your RPM album sounds like it was designed to be right up my alley, as last year's was.
cool tune
I think it's great! Don't change a thing!
Super feel here, harmonies are wonderful, the whole dang thing is wonderful.
Deadly roots music. Authentic and real. Nice.
Got a stand up bass? That's what I imagine, but otherwise it's a great track!

I always loved this one - it's such great vocal!
*BIG GRIN* that's a very catchy chorus you got there, Rob Brill!
Were you Joni Mitchell in another life?
Yeah I sent it in - haven't heard back yet. I told a few friends about it too.
Huh? What? Oh! Sorry i must have spaced off .. -clicks play-

You're not kidding!
Eerily beautiful

Nice! Can you edit the info?
damn but these are catchy, rob - great stuff!
Me too! Wish i had a handy little .. off switch! faved
I would have said The Band, rather than Lenny, I can imagine Rick Danko is is looking over your shoulder with a nodding head .. it's beautiful
Far out!
great songs, as always, Anthony - this is my favourite I think. More Often is great too, tho decisions decisions lol
Thanks, Bethan - i have tears running down my cheeks again ...
Wicked!
