I took this bus trip from Forth Worth, Texas to Wheeling, West Virginia and on the way home I jumped off in Cincinnati and bought a ticket to Nashville... Lots of stuff happen when you are on a bus and in bus stations for over 60 hours.

THE WALK
I drove 400 miles that night
East of Dallas to Abilene
And the hopes that I held in my headlights
Were hopes like I'd never seen
She called me from work that afternoon
She said she'd be off about 2 AM
Said it would be nice…

Wow! She must be special! Lovely tender song.
Surprising and effective chord change in the middle. I think you got back a bit early!
Lovely melody James! Bethan

ROCKS - James Michael Taylor
How many times have you
heard someone say,
"This is gonna last forever"
How many times have you
scratched your head
and said a silent, "Never."
There's a rock in Yosemite
that might just stand the test
Rocks…

This is the first thing I recorded using the telecaster you can see in my profile pic. It's a one-take jam played over one of those guitar magazine backing tracks. Thanks for the listen :-)

A little jazz-funk for your delectation. My homage to Jeff Beck's 1975 masterpiece album "Blow By Blow". The title is the name of a Lee Child book I was reading at the time I was writing the tune.
That's even cooler if you can program drums all by yourself. I just tap them out on my midi keyboard sometimes, or whack a snare drum, add some reverb and pull it back in the mix. About THE WINNOWING, I don't know if it's obvious but I sang all the parts.

This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
Geas poured some magic sauce on this one and opened up the song to a new level .....Thanks Geas
WHY
the innocence of a lie
the reason behind the why
the sigh of regret
at that moment of death
why
why
oh why
while were swimming in…
Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
A fun one James,

Ah, you made it then! Sounding really fab! Bethan
I stopped by for another listen this morning. Good song!
Great tune!
Like it James. Like the chordage, and background harmonies.
Epic tune. Love the vocal harmony.
Smilin all the way thru.
A beauty!
A good-un James.nicely done
Audience demands a country album.. Great song James/Bill
Wow! She must be special! Lovely tender song. Surprising and effective chord change in the middle. I think you got back a bit early! Lovely melody James! Bethan
Sweet, sweet song, beautiful lyrics.
I feel like I was there with you. I like the modulation when you were in the rut. So . . . . Was it Worth the trip?
Ooo, er! Cool intro, I thought! Instrumental with groovy vocal backing. Different James. Like it a lot! Bethan
awesome
Fun and cool
You cool Dude! Bethan
Love the harmonies and the guitar in the middle. And the use of the word "thot"!
as near perfect as it comes James.add some fiddle and you'll have a hit.
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
Love your delivery.
Has a Townes Van Zandt sadness about it.
You need to get in touch with Jody Jones to get a slot at the songwriter showcase at the Magnolia in Fort Worth on Monday nights.
The new John Renborn.
Lost my mom a couple of years ago. I understand your playing with so much feeling. I try to hold on to my mom by singing in her clear sweet voice.
Great picking.
That's relaxing...
So well said.

...and now you are going nashville on us. What range you have!
Could be the theme music for one of those007 movies. Very English.
Welcome to Alonetone. And thanx for listening to my songs. I like this. So sparse. So nimble when you go to the second guitar. Are those live drums?
This is very popie/r&B. Sounds like a fun one to sing. I might have posted LAYLA back when i first recorded it. Can't remember
Yeah, imaginary lovers are easier to keep around.

I will miss his very specific and kind comments.
Wish you would tell more about who you are and about this song. So beautiful.
Sooooo pretty.
ATTITUDE! Yes!
Soooo gritty. Like listening thru the wall to the club next door. Just before the whole place explodes!
