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.

I got a new amplifier and instead of doing what I should have been doing I did this. It gets a little crazy in the middle and its microtonal so the vocals are gonna sound out - but I enjoyed it. Yeah, those be drum loops. 15 notes per octave.
Yesterday was a misfire because I had the drums misaligned - but Fabrizio came to the rescue and mixed this properly! We hope you enjoy our collaboration!
Earth, Can You Hear me Now? is a rock composition in 17 notes per octave (17 edo, 17…

All the time we spent is gone now

You cry
I'm not even asking why
Your head's up in the sky now

When I ask you to explain…
A pop-rock thingy recorded in 2006. Can't remember too much about it except that it was a new song then, I spent an inordinate amount of time on the lyrics and arrangement, and wasn't that happy with it when I was done(!).
I quite like it now…
This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…

As turning the pages of memory, randomly and lento. All that I know, is seen not as it was actually, but with age and experience (...dusted?). How can I forget? Do I need to?

Comments on JR James's stuff
Good one JR! Another Jimi favorite. Bring on the Hendrix covers yawl!
Hmmm. I never tried just piano and vox. It's perfect James. Your vox are spot on man.
Grooooovy!
Yep sirree... Don't need to mess with it for my money. Instant fave.
i loved it man that is some very cool stuff D DOG...
Oh yeah...dig! Great violin line!
First of all, heartfelt thanks for your compliments. And...this is an absolutely beautiful track!
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

Nice playing.
Beautiful....
Dark, reminds me of Soundgarden. Good stuff.
With the heaviness!
Love how this builds up. Nice songwriting.:)
Love tunes like this.
This is really nifty tune. Love the subdued vocal. It opens up really well when the strings enter. I agree CK, can only here it on alonetone.
Great song. Love the choice of instruments.
Love the lyrics.
The opening vox kill me. Powerful!
Masterful......
Golden! Cant say enuff again.
What a voice.
Retro tune....bringing me back to bands like Simple Minds. Nice solo in there as well.
I see what Citizen ref's Riders with the heavy trem on the guitar. Nice funky tune. I would pay and stay to see this band.
Perfect...you have to be tearing up the local scene.
This is so damn good. My my...the way it is supposed to be played.
Oh hell yeah! Stoked!
This very darn good. Your vocals fit perfect over a jazz tune like this. Love it.
Hell yeah bluesman! Stingy playin! Never heard a blues about influenza.
