The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.

I couldn't listen to it the whole way through, something tells me it's so beautiful it could make me weep a bit, and when I'm in the mood for that, it will be a great release. Really beautiful!

Woo! Something different. Yep, stripped down works... Like this one a lot.
I suspect that you have the same problems that I do with "stripped down" lol (I'm sat on something that's probably "done" - actually Mrs Russe sez it is - but it feels scarily naked to me!)
And that guitar midi controller does the job. Now you've said it, I can hear some "guitar thinking", but I wouldn't have questioned it at all if I hadn't known. Mebbe I've got to get me one...

@Tess,
Its played using a YouRock guitar midi controller. I play it fingerstyle for the most accurate piano affect. It does the trick. I am using a vsti called PianoOne which is sounds most realistic for a free plugin.

A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
I started this thinking it would be a tune with the emphasis on my guitar but as it progressed I heard horns and then all these other things happened and this is what I ended up with.
Pete Thompson on percussion and Angie Thompson on bass. Produced with Pete 123112
HAIRCUT
They sent me a letter. A ticket to ride
Portland to Frisco on that Big Overnight
Brand new clothes. New pants and new shirt
Brand new boots to kick…
Mixed some music clips, and original compositions together for a brain killing trip through electronic glitch folk. This came from a severe lack of sleep.
Amazing you could pull this off or even imagine this amalgamation of music from different ends of the musical spectrum being arranged and work. Thnx for the great comment. It had me rolling :)
Yes it is a YouRock MIDI controller into comp via USB. Controls VSTi instruments loaded in your DAW. For this one and another song I just uploaded called The HAARP effect I used a free VSTi called Minimoog.
Smear this all over your face. You know you want to, IT'S EAR Food!
(I once found a lobster trying to invade my space in that area while awakening on the shore of a Tropical Island post Shipwreck..)
I put the music together last weekend ... my friend and bandmate Rob George did the bass track for me last Saturday ... I used my godin acoustic electric for the guitars ... did the vocals this morning and wish I had more time for the mix…
This is incredibly good ...came back for a another listen...looks like only one of my comments came thru the other day on all these current tunes of yours. That Godin sounds great. Love the message here. Happy New year.
This groovy song was written by the great Jimmy Smith.
Project Wakerobin is:
Kevin Gerzevitz - Hammond Organ
Jason Stewart - Guitar
Marc Carmi Smith - drums
Poor old Reg is down in the dumps and has started comparing his life to those of others more successful ...the go getter's in life...which poor old Reg has never really been one don't get me wrong he works hard but it always seems to be for someone…

Nice one!
Guitar piano? Holy Wow. Nice vocal.
great voice, vox, didn't remember that from prior listens. Terrific.
I couldn't listen to it the whole way through, something tells me it's so beautiful it could make me weep a bit, and when I'm in the mood for that, it will be a great release. Really beautiful!
Loving the guitar piano......great vocal too
Very nice.
You have a great voice, goes wonderfully with the piano. I enjoyed listening.

You're playing these keys? Love it!
Very intimate - lovely autumnal theme. Always enjoy your stuff, James. Very beautiful, tender composition.
This sounds great! Straight to my Piepod! LG

Beasty. Great vocal range and blistery riffs.
My digits are sore! That is some mighty shreddin.
Thats a beauty of a composition. Oh and yes, I am referring to the MK ultra mind control CIA program.
Rockin jam-athon!
Spooky tribal blues.
Great stuff...love the full mix. A gem for sure.

Sweet rendition. Derek and the dominos version comes to mind.
Inventive...really cool stuff. Reminds me of something off Jeff Becks current stuff.
Diggin deep on this one. Impressive. This is a top one.
