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...

the sheriff's back in town

his hand on rein and bridle says

You sure getting SOME deep bass out of whatever you are playing. I can see the snow blowing against the window. Your frozen breath as you sit in the frigid room. Fingers cut out in your gloves so you can feel the brittle keys.
First song of 2011 . . .
LYRICS:
She has a disease
Never learned to please anyone
else other than herself
Fuck the world and give em hell
She's down on her knees
Swaying in the breeze and when she
leans that way I go along
Bending…

Sneak out and slip into the night
Shotgun we're going for a ride
Forget your curfew
Everything will be all right…
People are dying every day in the street
People are dying every day
People are dying every day in the street
Just for being people in the street
Peace, when's it coming, coming for the people in the street
Peace, you can sing it
Sing it for the…

Have you made an effort to be in touch with the film makers in your part of the world? Your state probably has a film comission. If you haven't already, I suggest you do and then begin to find about what is in the works in your state and offer to submit music to the college and independent film makers.
I had this tune in my head for years before I finally sat down and recorded a quick draft of it. I would like to record this with real instruments (acoustic guitar + electric lead guitar).
Anybody interested in helping me?
This is the new version!

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
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
This is incredible work....music,art , theatre, poetry, all haunted by the truth...the wonderful truth.. James Michael Taylor is a master of the truth.. Thank you James for sharing.. Matt in Ireland .

Doin the Neil Young thing...cool...
Capo at second fret...Am.... I'm sitting here playing along with you.
Love your picking on this and the beautiful old song.
You sure getting SOME deep bass out of whatever you are playing. I can see the snow blowing against the window. Your frozen breath as you sit in the frigid room. Fingers cut out in your gloves so you can feel the brittle keys.
Very nice song. I like your voices.
Crossing Guns and Roses and The Beatles...great mix and harmonies. Like the elongated beat.
You rock too...
Rockin'...makes me want to boogie...
I think the world changed on that day. This is very evocative. This piece could be called Alone Tones. PS...where did the name AloneTone come from?
Rock on...j mt
What a great story.
Like this! Reminds me of Gene Pitney.
I can't imagine what your standards are topping out at if you apologize for this mix. This is beautiful.

If I can figure out how to download this track I will add rhythm guitars.
Steffen, You have a really great bunch of musical friends. Are these people you have in your real world or do write with people from all over? What is your process? Do you swap .wav files?
Kicks ass. Love it. Wish I could do stuff like this. Sooooo poppy!
A cello with this would be so nice...or a whole bed of strings to undergird that melody.
Very nice. So clear and clean. Nice voice too. I see you collaborate with other musicians. Feel free to ask me to do background vocals.
Very pretty. And sad.
