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.

Now that my album Texas Tonefreak is almost "out of print", I'll be posting the tracks up here.

Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
Originally by Freddie King, I did the John Mayall (Eric Clapton) version since the March 2014 issue of Guitar World mag has a good transcription of it. Looking back now I wish my lead tone wouldn't have been quite so harsh in places.
Just an instrumental I came up with on the 7-string. Wanted to try a few harmonized licks. Guitars and bass are me but the drums aren't (as with all my stuff).
I did this as a way to practice singing....why I am trying to learn to sing at 64 is a little strange.... I wish I had leaned to sing when I was starting out..but I always played in band with lots of singers and never had to sing much…
Some time ago whilst YouTubing, I stumbled across several videos of old seafaring songs or sea "shanties". Unbelievably, that triggered some very ancient RAM of elementary school music classes wherein we were taught several of these songs. And…

She put a message up on Facebook
She'd wrecked her car and couldn't get to work
I watched to see if any of her friends would volunteer
They just wished her well
There'd been a storm.
The streets were frozen
Cobblestone ice on…

Here is what Buck said he added:
"So I used the tremolophone (vibes) and tuba sounds in Garageband and played them on the keyboard."
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.

Well done.

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
Comments made by JR James
Gilmour-esque.....sweet.
thats beautiful...wow
love the free form feel.
Solid Blues Track...always love the harp in there.
Slaying it!
hauntingly incredible.
cool version....:)
ack with a vengance! Has the AC/DC vibe and a bit of the Bon Scott in the vox. Nice gritty guitar riff and solo. Bad Ass tune.
Wonderful....?
Another fine one GC. A nice tune to warm things up around your neck of the woods.
Dig it....I spent many hours copping licks off that bluesbreakers album...nice choice played with your touch. Did not sound harsh at all.
You a monster shredder.....this has Shrapnel stank all over it!
Kooh....this is sweet..nice textures over that riff...nice modal soloing.
That's was perfect....love the vintage vocal effect....guitars primo across the board.
Man....just love the combo of banjo and acoustic....perfect marriage...great vocals and love the story. Pro stuff RP.
Always like the way you approach your vocals.....this has the British blues all over it.
Cool lil quirky track but sentimental at the same time..
Always uplifting to listen to your music.
Nice...like how your vocal sits right in there.
Smashing..dig that aggressive tone of the guitar and bass together..
