PRETTY GIRL
Pretty girl, pretty dress
Well, I must confess my heart is in a mess
Pretty girl
Some guys can walk up to a girl
Say, "Hey! I love you
They make it look like something
So easy to do

HURRY
I'm not in a hurry
I've got all day to get there
You don't have to worry
I learned my lesson out there
I spent all night in Utah
As I make Green River
The chains banged on the exhaust
Til she began to quiver
Asphyxiation creates…
Jesus is my buddy
Jesus is my pal
I hold hands with Jesus
when I walk a troubled mile
He never will desert me
no matter what I do
So, won’t you come to Jesus
he’ll be your buddy too…

How are you producing the percussion sounds? I dig the distance and echo of it. This is a fabulous production -- I'm listening for the third time as I type this.

WRITER’S BLOCK
I went out to the stockyards last night. I don’t get out much but I had an invite.
My buddy, Guthrie Kennard was playing.
The place was full. The band was tight. Whitney Raquel opened the night
And the kids from the 2500 Club…
I doubled all the lines to help me and a friend learn the song.
There is a shortened version on down the page if you don't want to have to hear every line repeated.

RONDA'S THEME
Ronda. Ronda.
In her faded blue jeans
with her guitar she sings
It's just one of the things
about Ronda.
Ronda was a little girl
Just like you
Once upon a time
But now, but now
She's RONDA

My friend, George Sluizer was making a film DARK BLOOD with River Phoenix and asked me to submit some music to possibly be used in the movie. He didn’t end up using this but he did use four other of my submissions.

We posted the lyrics and featured the chords, just in case you wanted to write your own lyrics and post them with this idea.
Empty Bottles…
I did this about 2 years ago and only found it the other day.
I think it sounds like something Robbie Williams would sing - and not really my style or cup of tea. It's a bit anthemic "come on and join in" (no thanks). Add to that I my singing…
This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

Precision! Restraint! The clarity and deliberateness of this production leaves me grasping for words. It's like you created it within a straight jacket.

It’s a small town. Woodlake, California. East side of the San Joaquin Valley. 14 miles from where all those “Lindsey” olives you see on your grocery store shelves come from. The Woodlake Echo, says, “In the foothills of the Sequoias”.

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
cool stuff! You always have the best lyrics!!!
Interesting bridge. I didn't expect that. You know how to keep the listener's attention.
The music expresses your pain better than any words alone could. I feel your hurt now. Damn, man -- ouch!
I just read the lyrics, and I'm commenting before I hear the music to say, wow, you really have a gift with words.
Like it
I like this...sounds like 'america'. very mellow, chilling guitars. top class voice.
Wow!!! This song really just hit me. So poignant. It makes my heart just ache. Amazing song. Thanks !!!
Very unique! Nice harmonies and unusual presentationv. Thanks for your comment on my song. Paul
Buddy Holly meets Bobby Fuller 4 meets Doug Sham ...Really like this one
Fantastic guitar ...ry cooder got nothing on you my friend...imagine me getting choked up over a couch? yr there
Aww love it to bits. The lyrics and their delivery are superb. I'm liking the wandering between major and minor in the chords.
Great mix love it
How are you producing the percussion sounds? I dig the distance and echo of it. This is a fabulous production -- I'm listening for the third time as I type this.
A bit like Bob Dylan, a bit like Neil Young -- more Bob than Neil -- but the lyrics are really brilliant. Awesome performance. ROCK ON!
Writers Block , I think I just walked one! Ha terrific what a line
It's a gospel to me. You have a real good way with lyrics JMT, nice pickin' too
I really like this one too. Great for a clint eastwood movie around the time of good,bad & the ugly...great guitar work
I love that fuzzy fuzz.
Wow! what nice singing...brings to mind a favorite group of mine sounds I didn't expect in this song really take it someplace very interestin
Excellent
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
Love the loaping feeling and that bass line.
From snowstorm into long tunnel...
GREAT Sound. Guitar/bass/voice. Crystal clear. Perfect with the lyric.
Sounds like a swarm of keyboards hovering overhead...
Sometimes we need to be reminded.
We, in our depiction of that night in the old West would have said, "...a hot cup of coffee."
"And Blazey’s left her homework on the trainEven though they’re thirsty They don’t stop to get a drink..." forever lines...
It's like you are channeling Bowie from a slightly different planet.
I have had similar response to Bjork and Kate Bush lately...
Love the way you stretch and twist the chords.
Sounds like you've been thru some shit since last we met...
Precision! Restraint! The clarity and deliberateness of this production leaves me grasping for words. It's like you created it within a straight jacket.
Your voice is crystal clear.
This makes me cry...and I haven't listened to the music yet.
WoW! That is LUSH! Makes me think of Brahms.
Patrick Oliver this is fun! i love your love of nature!!! you sound a bit like Neil Young too!!
Jim Farmer JMT...I love this song. Great recording and beautiful harmony.
Too funny to cry. Too sad to laugh.
Totally "SPRINGTIME" ringing out in the music...
Fun track!
