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 ;~)
this is the slightly sparkly version of my version of Moschell's "Boxes and Strings" from his 'Circus of Freaks and Fools' RPM Challenge CD. I recorded it as a video last night and redid it in the studio (unfinished sauna) today.
Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…
gotta love a good blues tune!
PS. thanks for the comment on Dubadadidabadu - yeah, the volume on the vocal is way too low - but i never got around to fixing it. The vocal (and a few other choice parts) are actually the work of another recent alonetoner, K. Scot Sparks.

This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it!
This is now…

A grief song. You know this place. If you don't then move on while you still can. Seriously. Don't click ..
This is a tidied up version, I managed to get rid of some of th noise and rebalance the vocals 18/3/09
Damn. The intro gtr, it's tone, what a great sound. It sounds like an old recording. I like how you left the ambient noise with it. What a great recording.

I had no idea myself - I just got into this morning and started to get the feel of the song and the house was all quiet and then presto - it was done. Now I should get back outside and get the scrap into the trailer like I'm supposed to!

Holy Smokes! I had no idea... heh.
Great Job! It sounds far better than my quick take still dripping from the shower did. Your guitar lines are much prettier as well!
Thanks Gumbo!

Lyrics:
Skip ahead to her in pants,
watch her dance in the living room
in front of all the other dinner guests.
She thumbs her nose at simulacra,
but someone must play Cleopatra
in the PTA's yearly drama fest.
Her husband broke his body…
A live improvised recording for the RPM Challenge 2011
recorded 2/19/11 at Dunn Bros. Coffee in Keller, Tx.
Kavin.: guitar, loops
Michelangelo: buzz guitar
Ross Reitzammer: flute
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…

thanks Alex
I'm still not sure meself but it calls for drastic measures.
either i have to change the lyric or i have to call the album 'The Cat's Moustache'.
Reg has been with the new women in his life now for a while.She has noticed that Reg has an air of sadness around him.She wants to get to the bottom of it.She starts to ask him why? all the time. Reg wants to keep his secrets of his past to himself…
LMAO
you might be able to imagine what it's like to cue this up after reading the comment you left on Willie McTell. That was possibly the nicest thing anyone ever said to me and then this song starts up :
"No need to thank me
For making you happy ..."
Love it.
Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Jekyll and Hyde
are both well and alive
and they're living inside of home
Jekyll is kind to me
Smiles all the time to me
Hyde is a wild arrow from a bow
As much as Jekyll makes you smile
If she drinks herself some wine
You'll be the one that…

This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…
First of 24 new song I have written. This one is cute, about unrequited love no doubt. #:)
When I say 24 new songs not all will make the cut but most of them will. I will be busy for a good long time!!
Using pointless picks of course.
See my…
tried listening to this but Alonetone hasn't played anything for me for about 2 hours. Thanks for the feedback again. That's exactly the kind of thing i need to hear. I've been aware of it and tried different positions and things around the mike but didn't think of Eqing it - i try to avoid that kind of fiddling as i get lost so easily in there but if there is something specific to do i should be able to figure it out.
Thanks again and good to see you getting some new songs in the pipeline.

Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
thanks for the kind words and the feedback guys and gals - i'm not sure you can even find my voice with a spade, tho ....
i shall have a play around with the Eq and see if i can make head or tail of it. It's not something i've used much to tell the truth (and why not tell the truth once in a while eh?) so i might actually learn something.
I did this last summer as I can hear a car go by my window. Anyway it's an old song by the great Hoagy Carmichael. I wanted to wait until I could redo the vocal part because I am not happy with it. It's just a scratch track and after I listened…
I love Hoagy Carmicheal - got some old 78s in the attic but never did get around to finding a cd of his stuff. Nice track and a good choice for a cover
This is the first demo [Sister Savage](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) and I have made for our RPM 2011 album.
Although I've uploaded a copy here we'd be really grateful if you would listen to the [version uploaded by Sister](http://alonetone…
actually this is a good place to comment on the piano here, which is so evocative, and guides the mood beautifully. I appreciate it more each time i hear it.
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
I like this. Hoping it turns into something cool. Sounds good so far.
Thanks for the sounds --and for ye comments earlier on mine. Peace to you.
cool tune
Hey this is great! I still can't believe the lyrics - great entertainment.
gotta love a good blues tune! PS. thanks for the comment on Dubadadidabadu - yeah, the volume on the vocal is way too low - but i never got around to fixing it. The vocal (and a few other choice parts) are actually the work of another recent alonetoner, K. Scot Sparks.
I really like these vocals
<3 <3 <3 First one I clicked on, loved it immediately!
I can dig it. This reminds of so many things. Keep producing.
Very cool. Somebody been to the crossroads.
... cool to listen !
Like it.
You gotta watch that devil. He pops up in all the really catchy numbers. :-)
Damn. The intro gtr, it's tone, what a great sound. It sounds like an old recording. I like how you left the ambient noise with it. What a great recording.
This is a great song. I like the blend of instruments and the lyrics are brilliant. Great tune Gumbo.
*holds lighter in the air*
Cheers!! I want to stay:)

A dreamy cover of campfire loveliness. Well played!

Comments made by Gumbo
Wonderful. can we have the lyrics? i could spend many happy hours just reading them! O a tempo change and a beauty at that. faved.
O .. O .. a yeti !! nice transitions guys - i dig it
there's a lovely little de-do-de-do in there that i keep hoping will come again so i am really happy at 1.38
LMAO!!!!! it's so sad ....
Beautiful and heartfelt. It's a smasheroo!
i re-sang this because the start was bugging me so it's slightly, not radically, different and in a good direction.
LOL Love it!
thanks Alex I'm still not sure meself but it calls for drastic measures. either i have to change the lyric or i have to call the album 'The Cat's Moustache'.
I hear ya buddy!

Cool melody and i love the way the second guitar builds on the groove unexpectedly
