RPM 2024 track 7
A good friend of mine has a Samoyed. This is a song about him.
I was hoping for a kiiind of Cheap Suit Serenaders feel. Acoustic guitar, a 1920s tenor banjo and a brand new mandolin.
Ahh like a lovely cup of tea. I was thrilled to bits when you also signed up this year, and although I failed miserably, you knocked it out of the park...again. Thanks for giving me more breezy music to laugh at the world by. Next year, let's do it again. Any physical CDs this year??
Brilliant song - and you make it all sound so effortless. Fresh, cool, quirky (I'm told by my teenage daughters that "quirky" no longer means what I think it means, but they're wrong), just g-o-o-d m-u-s-i-c.

This gets a strange emotional reaction from me because I can't imagine you to be anything other than mischievous and irrepressible. But...this is Americana Tango...and I love both. Weirdly though, this takes me to the leafy walkways of Rome and now I want a cappuccino and to send you flowers.
Dean Martin probably wants to record this. I can hear a version with the Hollywood treatment in my head. But this is cooler. You infuse fresh air in everything you record.
beautiful - and inspired by Dave' comment i have to chime in that it's like finding an old 78 with no label in a garage sale and taking it home and finding out it's Billie Holiday
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
Here is the "more complete" track I promised with backing vocals.
A song about loving the real me...who do i see when i look in the mirror? Do I love what I see?....i really want to.
your wooden fingers have felt before

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
Great Texas Blues song.I like the fact that a classic blues tune like this was written right here in East Texas.These songs are truly part of the history of this area, trains still run the tracks, but not nearly as important nowadays to the people…
This is really a true story.
No, really...

Comments on Gumbo's stuff
Beautiful, your voice is unique
Thanks for listening, Sister. It means a lot to be back and have you hear it. Yes! Here's to next year!
Curiously, I can hear Dean having a go at this. Not the orchestra, I can't do orchestras in my head, but Deano? Yes indeed!
Leafy walkways, cappucino, and a need to send flowers is exactly the feel I was going for!!
I'm so relieved that it's recognisably a tango :-D
Marz, we were chatting about the pros and cons of including drums and I said I would include at least one this time around. This is it!
Ha! Opener? This one nearly didn't get included for being 'different'. :-D Shows you how much I know!
Thanks folks. What does 'quirky' mean these days?? Do I really want to know? To me it is high praise!
Yep it does help to be able to picture a samoyed running about ;-)
Good Stuff!

Moody, Wolfy, Sliiick. (Album opener vibes, imho)

Absolute classic Gumbo. Light and breezy, but with a bittersweet (dark even) undertone...how do you do that!?
Super sweet! Love the mandolin and you definitely achieved the feeling you were aiming for. *googles Samoyed*
Oooh yes!! Sultry! Rhythmic! Loving all the layers, all the twists and turns.
Oof yeah, more tango! Lovely harmonies and dreamy guitar.
Mischievous and irrepressible. The prosecution rests.
