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…
This was the original version I recorded before I completely overhauled it (see version on "It takes a village album ). I wasnt crazy about it but hell I put time into it and completed it so why not post it up.
An old recording from 1997 done on a Tascam 4 track. Converted to digital from casette so the recording is warbly in spots.
I am currently working on some new songs so I decided to throw so oldies but baddies out there.
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…
This song is so nice. Very appropriate arrangement me thinks.
Agreed, this approach can be intimidating but if a song "stands up" to "stripped down" you probably got something and this song is proof of that. Thanks James.
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 Mornings Aint Warm

planted deep in the back of my head

and up sprouted this stubborn old tree
with fading roots and lofted dreams
there's still a couple of two by fours

Home Again
(boudreau)
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…

..authentic feel as ever from you, James - you set the bar very high. Superb.
Love 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. :)

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.
