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!

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!

I wrote Dancing Vampires while reading the book "The Historian", which is a story of a man and his accomplices’ quest to find Dracula in present day Europe. I love history and all of its grit. This song speaks of primal human instincts. We are…
Inspired by a gorgeous recording on a wax cylinder by the composer, Tanburi Cemil Bey (1873-1916).
Performed on politiki lyra (classic kemençe), a small bowed fiddle from Istanbul.
Recorded at The Banff Centre, November 2008.
This is just a quick little track we did in celebration of reviving the recording computer. It is the opening track of a soundtrack disk for a friend who is running a Call of Cthulhu role playing game. He plans on playing it in the background…
I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)
This started sounding quite Nick Caveish and at the same time I wanted to do something with Joe Meek; so it's a murderballad-variation on Johnny Remember me. There's stylophone and theremin in there. The theremin is quite effective at some points…
this is pretty ruff, but i don't see myself rerecording it anytime soon plus i can't find the lyrics and i'm too lazy to write them down ... anyways. i guess its just a bunch of thoughts about God, a little dramatic. enjoy!
OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened?
Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)
I go back far enough to remember waiting for Ruben and the Jets to be issued on CD, but I think you might have me beat there, kirk. One of my favourite discs. I could get into some beefier backing vocals - that'd be fun.
Nice stereo guitaring, great rhythm.
Love it! Hot vocals, too, heheh, magic!
Who on earth does it remind me of?
Faved. and a fab solo - this has everything :~D
Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you!
@Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions!
@kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!

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.

Hey this is great! I still can't believe the lyrics - great entertainment.

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. :-)

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!
Lovely song, enjoyed the lyrics.

Funk it up!
That's just the kind of anthem we need round here!
loved the rhythm in your vocals - and they are a good contrast to the backing. the music is mesmerising. Je vous remercier
Nice intro! reminds me of Jack L. Very cool!
Thanks to Bethan, or I wouldn't have known about this. Beautifully played. Have you got any more music?
Not a moment too soon!
Yep! we can see out again, now! This is definitely an up and at 'em track :~D
LOL Yes! That's what this needs - a video with thunderstorms and dancers!
Good! I'll listen to this and then go and mow the grass!
Missed this. Bravo!
Ah! Domestic Bliss! I like this version a lot ;~)
Excellent. You nailed it!
those harmonies coming up to 3 minutes make the back of my neck start to stretch! Sublime!
FUN KEY !!
Brother Ray. Yes, and some Strummer, too. Kicking!

lovely contrast between the pace of the guitar and the laid back vocal. Great! Reminds me of Nick Drake in lots of ways.
@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you! @Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions! @kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!
Hahaa! Certainment! Bring your potions - the more the merrier!
