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.

The mark of a good song is if it can stand on its own with just a vocal and guitar or piano etc....and this is a very good song. At first the vocal reminds me of Peter Gabriel and how may approach it in the early days of Genesis. Mad love for this track.
Landry/Garn
When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago

Whispered roars that fade away

Only (C) heard…

You've got friends, but not many of them like to be seen.

Acoustic ghost story. Recorded 2010.
Easter 2010 I decided…
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
I just follow where Andrew comments. He seems to find the goods on alonetone. What a sweet tunen great songwriting. I think of Mark Knopflers Romeo and Juliet.
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

That be some good production right there. Dag nabit! I enjoy the different looks of the verse sections as the progresses. And the big vocal harmonies...I thought that ac gtr lick was gonna fly off into django territory.....always fun listening to your tunes. I learn something everytime.

In my late teens I was in a hard rock band and this was one of our songs. This recording is not the band but myself doing all the instruments and vocals. Our singer Kevin wrote the lyrics but I forgot some of the lines and adlibbed a bit of it…

It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…

You are a mad man! This is F'ing epic! I can here influences throughout , Floyd, The who to name a couple. Spot on everytime. Magnifico!

Nice playing here. I love instrumentals like done like this.
Im glad to hear this music is alive and well. It reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot.
I like this cut. Its dark and reminds of Alice in chains.
I dont get it.......it is crazy if you are not signed...just your voice alone should have radio airplay all over it! Bri you are what is current....F american idol and the voice...the real talent is right here....great song...again.
I wish i could sing like that...damn...those harmonies are bad ass...your music is much more than a song. It seems locked into almost a epic tale..

Cool tune. Brings me back to some 70's era rock...similar to BOC. I dig the bridge section and vocal harmonies.
Cool approach....i like the singing quality to the lead....bending alot of notes....less is more.
Love the guitar tone....nice track MP.
Incredible playing all around. Blown away and I just woke up...this track sounds like something Robben Ford would do. Incredible .....ciao!
I am not sure who played on that album....thats a good google search for later....he has had so many. Ozzy is like the pimp of guitar players...lol!
Those acoustics are awesome...the harp....i love it! Good ole americana! I was just watching some Jackson Browne w/ David Lindley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1aYheuSEZI&feature=youtube_gdata_player Reminds me of what u r throwin down.
Thats a beauty....i was just kayaking yesterday so I can relate....
Andrew does it again!
Brilliant...I can here this in a movie if you get my drift? Reminds me of Cat Stevens.
Sweet tune...:)
