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…

Steve Krell (SLKrell) and I have been feuding over the same girlfriend for a while now. In fact, there are several songs about her on Alonetone. Here is the latest in the story:

Gary and I did something good.

With no one really knowing who you are

In the corner of their eyes

First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…
Love the message! Smaller living quarters, higher taxes, no jobs. Well done. Having a bit of the flu keeps it real. I had just finished a bout with that myself. Get your flu shots!

Skeen 130215
Melodic idea by Tiggy Acworth 23rd November 2012.
Made reality and added to quite superbly by David Bevan in February 2013. A perfect example of a living, breathing SKEEN. Music to live by?
Most definitely a click free recording…
Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
Comments on JR James's stuff
..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
