Bullet
River took a bullet. A bullet in his chest
One went thru his forearm. In his hip one came to rest.
But River didn't feel it. He was busy at the time…
Written one morning at OLD Number NINE weekend with Eliza Gilkyson.
SNAPSHOTS
Life's a million snapshots, all lined and flashing
It seem like a movie but it's the persistence of our vision
It all goes in circles, hashing and rehashing…
This is a great song. It is one that I do not play enough. It was one of the songs that kind of got swamped with the wave of great songs... great albums... that JMT had in that rush.

OMG I just realized... this has always been one of my most favorite JMT songs... and it comes from one of my most favorite JMT albums(FITW 1976)... the VERY first JMT album I ever owned! An album that was recorded over 40 years ago! I remember when JMT offered it For Sale from the stage of Montana Mining Company in Midland, Texas... and I jumped to buy it! OMG... My dear, dear old friend... has it really... has it really been 40 years? OMG

The years that simply melt away... like mascara in the rain."
Damn... what great words. JMT words.
Words that paint a picture... on the canvas of my spirit. `

The stormy weather these last few days have had me hurting; yesterday was pretty bad... last night worse; this morning bad... very bad. I see JMT sent me a note that he had a new album on Alonetone; I decided to take my pain meds and listen to JMT. At the first sound of Jimmy's new album... I smiled; my body still hurts, but my spirit has found respite. Thanks, old friend. Thanks, for all the years of respite you have given me.
She threw her slip down on the bed spread
She threw her panties on the stack
Now she must take them to the cleaners
He said that he will not be back
She turned and reached into the corner
She took her guitar from the rack...

Sounds like a trip across Arizona to me. On a Harley. Love of your life on the buddy seat. Arms around you. Wind blowing. Hair flying. Center line markers clicking by. Lost in the motion.
For the grandchildren, when I get some!

While I was going through my old stuff I found this forgotten tune. I think it was the first or second collab I've ever done with Billy Playle. We met at a long gone collaboration site called OMF (OpenMusicFactory, run by Alessandro da Lisca…

My recent fascination / obsession with the Devoto-era Buzzcocks is over. Here's an early Magazine song.
Was going to be done unplugged style - the guitar parts were originally guide parts to be replaced with acoustic parts. I got to like them…

Hey, JMT! Look what I found! Can you believe this song is 10 years old?
This is a great song. It is one that I do not play enough. It was one of the songs that kind of got swamped with the wave of great songs... great albums... that JMT had in that rush.
Cheerful track :)
Great lyrics.
Wonderful, James. Thank you for singing the songs in your heart. This world needs them.Summer Loraine Russell
Mighty powerful feelings of aloneness and independence, songs and songwriting/singing a perfect fit! Keith Haas

Sounds like Las Angeles to me. Steely Dan. Clean.
Sounds like a trip across Arizona to me. On a Harley. Love of your life on the buddy seat. Arms around you. Wind blowing. Hair flying. Center line markers clicking by. Lost in the motion.
This really sets the ideas lose in my mind. Love the bass tempo setter...
It's like light reflected in falling water...very nice and soothing.
Love the voices. Is that Lady Jane singing ythe lead?
Nice.
Very nice. Like the story and the harmonies. This is something that could get you invited to schools to share with the kids.
Beautiful...
Will be fine for your children too. Very sweet. Also, nice to hear your talking voice.
Cool song. Really like the bass groove.
Very nice. Fine vocal.
Cool.
Really dig this.
Like this very much. Can hear many voices added to it. Build with choir and drums and strings.
Nice song. Very lonely sound. What's that that sounds like an auto harp? Very clean guitar sound. Crystal clear production.
Andrew, are you on facebook? My email address is Jamesmichaeltaylor@jamesmichaeltaylor.com I have posted your Can't Imagine song on my Facebook page.
Like this. Sounds like a storm brewing in wind chimes.
Very pensive. Peaceful. Soothing with a touch of sadness. Like it a lot.
Like the subtle voices...
Really like this.
