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…

First side closer by Kent Good.
This song was recorded our first session of the month. We were playing as a five piece and i really love the sound. This is one of KGs best song to date.

Wicked Savior

Your halo's bent yeah
your wings are broken
We shoot for the moon
gonna leave here smokin'
Your tarnished reputation

A rumor's just that

Be my wicked savior

Break my Stride

Break my stride break my stride
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
When I feel this way
There's only one thing to do
Nothin' gonna break my stride
Gonna walk down the road

Nothin' gonna break my stride…

#RPM Challenge 2013#
"Under Watchful Eyes" is my 10th song for the RPM Challenge 2013. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
The adjoining video was filmed February 6, 2013 along the Mississippi River near Red Wing Minnesota (approximately…
Another fine song....very clean and clear performance. Love the lyrics....especially the eagle reference. Many years ago ai had a once in a lifetime encounter with g an eagle while fishing the Chippewa Flowage in WI.
the last third. Along with inter dimensional warfare, tells a complete story. Suddenly feeling like everything I've done this month is crap. Everything except toilet shrimp. I love that song.
dedicated to our "cold hearted orb that rules the night",, bassoon and french horn exchange glances with one another, cross a web of strings with a little timpani,in for the flavor,,, i have been trying to figure a bassoon into my work, so here…
#RPM Challenge 2013#
I’m a lucky boy
I’m filled with joy
I got angels guiding me
Happens every time
I don’t walk that line
Seems to work out splendidly
Stop and look around
I’m the luckiest boy in town
Ain’t no better can be found…
I told myself that the 2013 RPM album was going to be guitar/bass/drums/vocals. Maybe an occasional keyboard thrown in as a gimmick. Yeah, this song is based around an electric piano and has a sax solo. So much for convictions.

..authentic feel as ever from you, James - you set the bar very high. Superb.
Love this!
Thank you James This is awesome, love them guitars!
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.
I wanted to listen to this again after hearing the original...a wonderful tune with any arrangement!...Thanks James
Wow...I love this...so very nicely done ...feels like a nice summer day to me
nice & thick tone for days...naw...this is a goodie!
back for another listen.
Now I'm ready to go back and listen to the Rainbow Bridge version. Nice cover.
and beating the desk while I jam out to this
Lovely deep sound - great guitar tone.
memorable vocal style. keep up the good work guy.
Oh yeah, tasty, even with the warbles.
Very nice,Warbles n all! :)
THis is great, Lots of feel.Excellent tone

This is good. Reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Ummm... I love both versions... but I think this is the one I'd take on holiday with me.
Comments made by JR James
Nice collab...has a cool retro feel.
Thats some wild slide playing. The turnaround sounds like it may shift off path but falls right back in place.
Nice collection of tunes here. Hell of a good collab.
Impressive. Has a Thin Lizzy vibe.
Nice collab here.....real good playin, love the guitar tone.
Love the atmosphere created here.
You guys have a sound similar to the band Love w/ Arthur Lee. Very 60's LA Sound. Very cool.
Hell yeah! Thats some pickin and grinnin boy howdy! Great production! Top notch track!
That fuzzy guitar drives the song well. Catchy tune.
Very cool way to revive some of that folk history.
Solid C_&W song.....enjoying very much.
Another fine song....very clean and clear performance. Love the lyrics....especially the eagle reference. Many years ago ai had a once in a lifetime encounter with g an eagle while fishing the Chippewa Flowage in WI.
Nice playing. At first it was reminiscent of Spanish Caravan.
Mysterious and spacey.
That slide guitar comes outta nowhere and fits right in. Definitely the feeling of floating thru space..
This is an incredible listen...cannot describe it. Coming from all directions. How you made all the instruments work together is beyond me.
That is incredible..I am imagining a scene showing a battle field and the aftermath of war...something along those lines.
This is tops for me. Simple , even and sincere. Excellent.
Really a cool Floyd feel...diggin it. Your playin is similar to Santana...love this sax.
So that is writing technique, very similar to Paul Simo's technique. Like all these acoustic tunes lately.
