Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…
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…

This is pretty wacky and progressive ... sounds like this group of tunes was recorded with different equipment than It Takes a Village stuff ... just a different overall sound to the mixes ...completely different than what I have heard. You are quite versatile in your music.
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…
This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
Good song great vocals!. Like the sound of the acoustic guitar and the electric is pretty tasty ... real nice job on the whole package ... everything well placed in the mix.

Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox

Comments made by JR James
Dynamics of your vocals shine thru on these stripped down songs. Nice harp playin....Dylanesque.
Tbe vid is sweet. Love the floating bee. Very cool.
Killed it! Backing vocals always make me smile and harmonized guitar lines with bite are so damn sweet. Touchdown!
Oh yeah....good ole rock n roll from Highway 61
Ah yes.....this could be used in a movie...quite inventive and imaginative.
Wild......from a phone.
Hearing some different genres overlapping musically. Nice introspective lyrically.
Hey, very very cool.
Some vintage country western. A rarity nowadays. Enjoyed it very much.
Vicious guitar in that left channel.
I think I have one of these fanagled macho chihuahua. Tasty slide playin...enjoyed this ;)
Pro grade stuff. Very good track.
Interesting collage of vocal types coming together.
Thanks for sharing. This is a walk on the shore nd enjoying life.
Dig it. Has a Tull feel.
Magical...love this. Nice delay effect and that electric has a nice open sound.
Dreamy and enchanting. A staple of LJ ;)
Well put together. Good musicianship with some hints from the 80's.
Nice take. Poor me cold one Sammy!
Another good performance. Man and guitar.
