Mess? I hear no mess here. I hear a good time.

Excellent lyrics, clearly delivered at breakneck speed. Superb! This album is really great, the tracks are well written, performed and it's clear a lot of fun was had putting it together. A jolly good listen.

Now, you are one cool dude! I love everything about this track, it's my favourite on the cd!

Hang on James, I'm on my way! ;)

Oh, I would have liked to be on the backing vocals here. It reminds me of some 50's stuff where the backing was girlies repeating the end of the previous lines. Fun track!

Brilliant lyrics! I love this track! Super performance!

Ha, love the lyrics. A nice bit of fun. Cool guitar going on too.

Pretty song. I like the gentle music with the firm percussion, it works really well.

This is a great song. Good strong vocals.

A beautiful love song JM, most tenderly sung. The country music is perfect.

It's really difficult to talk on a track, I have done it once. This is very well done.

Jeff's voice reminds me of Jeff Lynne. (That's good). Nice and perky guitar work.

Sounds like a thumping good jam! Great vocals! It grows on ya!

Pitch this to N.Young and Crazy horse. Perfect fit. Lovely, the freedom here!

Reminds me of one of those sparklers on the 4th of July. Good One James!

Nice! I'm digging the raw edge to this one, especially that guitar stuff at around 3 minutes.

:)

do they still line dance out that way.

Ah good for True! Why Mr Taylor, I am quite stirred. Really digging the atmosphere. Definitely native american influences.

Hey JMT your experimental side is showing! I'm diggin it!

Great groove...

Such pathos. We could collect all the Ghost Town songs on Alonetone and have a very interesting album.

It would be cool to put the GHOST TOWN songs in a collection. A great subject with so much sadness... You really capture it here.

Gwyn Henry said, "How random, Jim! What precipitated this sharing??? Don't get me wrong, it is very funny. My reply, "This was about when Peggy, my fuck buddy for 29 years said no more for me. She was giving it to Doug. Not funny to me. So 15 years celebate."

I randomly chose an old album to pick a song from to post and it turned out to be songs one year after Peggy left. I was at my lowest, loneliest, most unconsolable. STRANGER was a song that also spoke to me about my dad having lost my mom. to Gwyn Henry

I also like These are the Only Times I Think of You... You are so prolific and so consistent in quality of work. Gwyn Henry

WoW! What an interesting counterpoint: slow recitation with snappy drum track.

Really snappy and tight. What an interesting lyric.

That pain is incredible and I understand it Alene Brandt

Scott - Thanks for the link. I love how descripted they were i never have smelled the orange blossoms but i bet they are heavenly. Me -The first time it hit me, I was taking Kay Smart for a ride, top down just west of that bridge at Lemon cove. Nothing else like it. Scott - Enter Scott Scott Carson Ausburn I bet ; ) Nothing like smell to jog your memories. I usta be in love with this girl named Belinda that lived up the street from my Grandmothers. We would go bicycle riding often. Her front yard had plum trees that smelled heavenly when the were in bloom. Now every time i smell a plum tree bloom it takes me back to the good times i had with Belinda and wondering what ever happened to her. Me -So sweet. Peggy wore Sweet Honesty perfume. I’m sure if I met some girl with that I would be shaken.

I sang this song at a Sunday night songwriter contest at The Playground in Fort Worth. No cigar.

Gwyn Henry I go farther and farther into my appreciation of you songwriting skills... lyrics poetic... ex Broke Piano.. The line that got me this time was "The only things that moves my strings is when somebody breathes" I once interviewed a popular musician in Tulsa, John D.Levan, in the late 70s. When I asked him where he got his ideas for songs, he laughed and said, "Heck, you just turn your head, and thre's a song!" Your line is saying the same, only more intensely... it's the inclusion of "human breath". goes even deeper.

Gwyn Henry That one would be my fav of all I have seen! They are all great, but my fav... will never forget you underneath that (was it a piano bed?) So many metaphors played into that... and don't we all just want to revert to childhood at times and go hide under the bed, take a crayon, etc. jmt - You are broadening my vision of the video. Yes. Under the bed was always a place of mystery and imagined safety.

Bobby Huskins I like this a lot! Thanks for sharing.

Kat Angel Psychedelic sound. Felt like a brain massage.

Kat Angel Wow! Through your words, I heard my mother, my father, my sisters and brother, my grandma and grandpa, myself talking to my husband, my best friend. I suppose we are all that predictable in time and in retrospect. You made me think and travel through time.

Kat Angel James Michael Taylor great song. I love the melody and the words

Belinda Stephens - Lovely, James. Who are you singing about? James Michael Taylor Belinda Stephens Specifically, Peggy. But we all have the voices of our parents and children and other loved ones that we live with.
