Okay Andrew R. , this ones for you bud. Had a little fun with it in the intro. That was the surprise.
I put the bass line down and arranged the drums Saturday morning and returned later that night about 10:00 pm . I worked until 2 am and laid…
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…
Okay , this may be my last Hendrix cover for awhile. I have been itching to record a few new original songs that are waiting in the wings. These covers were fun to do and I discovered alot about the songs I didnt no before. On this one I added…
billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow

well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…

Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.

Title Track - RPM 2013

Pain of Loss
I’m sure i can hear a whisper, calling out the answers in the distance

The path has been wandered a million times then they have walked through the…
Steve Krell (SLKrell) and I have been feuding over the same girlfriend for a while now. In fact, there are several songs about her on Alonetone. Here is the latest in the story:

Gary and I did something good.

With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines in the background
In the corner of their eyes

First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…
Love the message! Smaller living quarters, higher taxes, no jobs. Well done. Having a bit of the flu keeps it real. I had just finished a bout with that myself. Get your flu shots!

Skeen 130215
Melodic idea by Tiggy Acworth 23rd November 2012.
Made reality and added to quite superbly by David Bevan in February 2013. A perfect example of a living, breathing SKEEN. Music to live by?
Most definitely a click free recording…
Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
Comments on JR James's stuff
ooo-eeee, yessirreee... Now I know what want... where is it...
Aw monstrously good, even better than I remember. If only I could fave it again!
Still sounds good :)
..another excellent cover, James..
..excellent version, James..
..not sure that we have the full story on HAARP as yet..
..just keep playing this on a loop as I lay in the isolation tank. Mind-slave madness! How ya doin', James?
Really great song. I like the melodic progression. Well written. I'd like to hear more like it!
Wonderful. Adding more instruments can't make this any better. It's perfect as it stands.
Wow!
Second bite at this super tune, Nice James
Fantastic song!!!
Woo! Only just spotted this. Superb, fresh, love it...
Instant fave! Wonderful w;-)
Hi James, no I'm not stalking you:)merely playing catch-up.Do I detect a Native American feel in some of your material? Anyway loving this.
Another great soundscape.slightly melancholic but so am I.
This is fun, love that drum sound.
What Breaking Light said! Great stuff James!
Great song,story, mood,& instrumentation
Excellent !! Really enjoy this tune. Like your choice of instruments and and a melody that really grabs hold of you.
Comments made by JR James
Honest song, tastefully done.

I like the lyrics and the dark atmosphere. More scorched earth!

Yeah. This is different. Nice combo of sounds.
Nice synth textures.

Brillliant.
Heart warming vox. Like the banjo, it works perfectly. Very nice song.
Very creative. This is art.
Wow. Very well done. A nice pick me up tune.
