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 ;~)

An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.
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.

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 my 2007 Pirate Day song, written and recorded September 19th 2007. I like the innuendo, but maybe it's too subtle - nobody else seems to notice ;~)
It's a great song, Alex. And gets better with repeated listenings. It's in there with some other songs i am particularly listening to on my iPod and (rather than the usual - "damn i'm supposed to be doing something for this") I am blown away by how straightforwardly great it is. You might think there's a 'cheese' factor but it's well written, direct and clear. Bravo.
I walk 13 miles of barbwire just to sing my song

I went out during cover of night (to avoid looking like a total crackpot) with a violin bow & Zoom H2 digital recorder and bowed various things in the neighborhood. This is the best - a beautifully resonant 4-way stop sign.

But we ought to have taught one another instead of fought I thought

03 Stuff And Nonsense (A Fairy Tale)
Hey m’lady what do you see?
I’m down on one knee
Am I brave enough?
I’d fight knights lately with you as my shield
You hold that appeal
That slowly reveals itself
As I deal with all the other…

This is a guitar piece in classical style in 17 notes per octave using the 17 version of the phyrgian mode. In normal 12 equal tuning phyrgian mode starts on…
Lovely!
So your guitar has 17 frets to the octave or you retune so the octave is at the 17th fret instead of the 12th? does it tune up in a similar way? which fret gives you the note for the next string?

Final version
it needs a fiddle but it has a mandolin, a chicken banjo and some excellent backing vocalists

Aaaarrrr!! Yer hearts in the right place .... but no ....
this is like someone dangerous stroking the back of your neck with a knife (but can i get a version without the static noise at 4 minutes?)

Now that's rockin! Good reworking.
amazing to think this track didn't make the sampler!
Wow - amazing sounds - it's like being in a Tibetan Temple!
were you bowing the post or ( I assume) one of the two sign plaques?

And we have a winner in the "you might not look like a crackpot but ..." department! Love it! and Faved.
great version, Sandy! love the outro this song was my introduction to David Bowie as apprently it was written for Gene Vincent. What a place to start!
Such a beautiful mix! Lovely song!
Love it! Very Gilbert and Sullivan :-)
I can't believe you changed your name *again* lol
Lovely! So your guitar has 17 frets to the octave or you retune so the octave is at the 17th fret instead of the 12th? does it tune up in a similar way? which fret gives you the note for the next string?
