Recorded over 10 yrs. Ago on my Zoom 10 track. It was the second tune I cut just messin with the chord changes. It has a very urban vibe and reminded me of cruising lake shore drive in Chicago.
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…

You've got some nice originals ... this has that catchy hook feel to it.
The organ is a nice touch in the chorus?bridge. I hear a touch of Petty and a hint of Brian Adams but it's totally you.

eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground
dont abuse the diguise the one they made,
should never be altered
now we fear , the words we say, descent in
the shadows
we must hide to survive the thought police their searching…
I really like the melody,vocals are spot on, the keys add a nice touch and work well with the guitar, progression has some nice changes, kudos to the drums and bass. Candy to the ears, thanks for sharing.

Great tune James. It does touch a place in that whole Springsteen Jackson Browne feel that I love so much. Great performance. Some nice piano and sax ... good tune!

You have done your influences proud with this one! Great mix of all the instruments creates a nice wall of sound without sounding at all cluttered. Well done!
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
UDON NOODLES' own toxic waste dump Pietro Chimiko captured live during the recording of Tomorrow Never Knows...and this is his acoustic version! you want to hear it when he's 'plugged'!!

My baby, she don't want me (Lyrics)
My baby, she don't want me,

Here we go.
This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining...
If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough...
Lollies, chips, and beer…
Oh,
Iron jaws, wrapped around my legs,
Try to gnaw, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Oh,
Fresh cut gauze, soaking lips,
Trying not to fall, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Silent pines, know my name

Alone for the weekend so here's another.....Reg has really got to stop being a peeping Tom he's going to get caught one of these days.......
I Love her (Lyrics)
she wanders about inside my mind sending me crazy from time to time but i love…
It sort has a indian feel to your harmony vocal against the percussion at the beginning. Dont know how you two came up with this. Really imaginative track.
I keep walking
Through the bush
And I pass death
I can almost touch
And I hide my eyes
From the light
And there's rain and thunder in my soul
I'm a traveller in the night
I'm a night traveller
I call again on the dark
A place where ghosts
whisper…
Well I started this with a little guitar groovin' thing I was playing with and laid it down to a click track thinking I was going to just keep it just guitar , bass and vocals and off it went.
This song really is just all about life moving by…
I use to have a studio in a small city and most days I would see these two fella's walking the streets or asking for some change. They were a visual part of my life so much that if I didn't see them for a day or two I would wonder where they went…

This was well worth the wait. Superb! I love the reference to what is current these days....hint hint..I like the entrance of the keys and organ at 2:42, masterful. Love it.
The poor Mother what she has to put up with.......
The no good son (Lyrics)
The sandman woke him and told him it was time to leave
That the sticks and stones that they threw at him had beat the word to the breeze
They would all know that…
This is my attempt at incorporating some classical instrumentation with a song ... I even tried singing a bit of opera ... well one bar of deep "la la's" LOL. Used my Godin acoustic electric for this one.
Thanks for listening
The second word
Then from the three.
The middle stands out.
Second from I.
No reason to doubt.

Comments on JR James's stuff
Lovely tune, James. Excellent guitar work.
Great feel here, killer blend of country with some ska overtones.
Brilliant, great sounds, great song.
WOOF! Worth the wait. Love those guitars. And what a song. Wonderful stuff.
Very good. I would expect this to be on the radio. ER
you have some great songs! I really like the guitar tone! thx for all your comments bro!
Worth the time and trouble you took. Great song
What a great song!

Damn good song James
Sounding good.
Nice one lol!
I Like It!
Awesome , a hit.

Nice vocals, like the message and it all fits well with the music bed. Enjoyed.

Bad ass cover, man.
This is a very tasty piece of guitar work.
Comments made by JR James
Quirky cool style. I never even thought of a Bog weasel until now.
As trippy as the original!
Oh hell yeah! This is so bad ass!
Cool jam and guitar playin!
Rich arrangement, nice textures. Reminds me of what I love about music. Pedal Steel....love it! :)
Sounds like you fronting the Doors....crazy cool!
These lyrics are prize winning! Great work!
Love your vocal. Song has a lonely but warm vibe. Nice artistic style.
Another new one! They come in fast boy howdy! Prolific songwriter you are. I like the vocal on this. Has a 70's acid rock vibe.
It sort has a indian feel to your harmony vocal against the percussion at the beginning. Dont know how you two came up with this. Really imaginative track.
Diggin all these tracks. Great playin . Song first attitude.
Thats a pretty classy cut. Like the snappy guitar tone and playin. Reminds me of Larry Carlton.
Oooh...bad ass track! Love that uke in this context. Hip blues track.
Ooh yeah here that organ poking in and out in the right channel now. Great recording. Love these lyrics.
This was well worth the wait. Superb! I love the reference to what is current these days....hint hint..I like the entrance of the keys and organ at 2:42, masterful. Love it.
Great song. Most likely unintentional, but it reminds me a bit of early Springsteen.
I could almost here this as a score. Very nice all the way around.
Tops! Brilliant! Nice arrangement. Spotless.....i can keep going.
Nice track...love the harp in there.
This is a dirty good collab! Has early 70's Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy vibe.
