Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
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…

Wonderful song, James, very innocent and dreamy. It builds in increments very nicely and is well paced. Has a sort of Blue Nile meets Peter Gabriel flavor.

I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
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…

and up sprouted this stubborn old tree
with fading roots and lofted dreams

Home Again

I was brought up just north of New York City
Where the Merrit greets the Hutch
In a noisy house on a quiet street
Where the neighbors know too much
There's a weekend in spring when they throw out old things
and…
I started pickin' the riff on my godin acoustic/electric ... put it down and built from there but when came to doing some sort of lead I heard a bit of slide ... never really been a slide player but I new I had one somewhere ... searched everywhere…
New song By Andy & Ron

About an aging rocker who thinks he can still impress the ladies!!!

I looked at all…

Interesting sounds. Really captivating! And like *Breaking Light* says . . . Let's see the Belly Dancers!
Great playing Man!
I'm envisioning buxom bellydancers. I like this.

Dig the compression and analog dirt.
These are all goodies. Nice rockers! Nice crisp guitars and spot on vocals and harmonies.....a trademark.
Really good song. :)
Immediately liked!
Incredible....nice work.
Impressive playing. Cant get enough.
Ahhh....nice take cant wrong with Stevie Wonder with a reggae vibe.
Classic....nice live cover.
Classic....:)
I am diggin all the horns....
Bad ass tracks here once again. Always love the upfront big guitars. Horns give it a Beatles feel.
Impressive vocals....love the tone of voice...very interesting and unique vision comes thru in these songs...
Ooohhh like that slide.....thats a bad ass blues tune.
Nice delivery....straight to the point and drug tested employees a bonus!
Oh wicked! Thatis roadhouse jammin! Reminds of Jeff Healy Confidence Man. Killer.
Bitchin tune.
Soulful...rewind play again...
Peculiar.....no resolve...experimental journey.
Oh yeah...like the riff and the tones....killer playing RJ. Solo style similar to early Alex Lifeson.
Those changing guitar tones are very cool...has a green day feel.
