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…
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.
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…
I was finally able to finish this one up over this past week. Like always I am never satisfied but I have come to a point where I just tell myself enuff is enuff and move on to the next song...pheww! Hopefully it sounds good on everyone elses…

Did this many years ago. It came together very quickly. There are know synths, all guitars and backwards vocals, sped up vocals, detuned vocals.....whacked sounds. I wrote the lyrics on the spot. I love its deep personal message...lol!

I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…
Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…

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
don't mean nothin to me
A rumor's just that
for myself I'll see
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.

That's a kickin' and trippin' compilation of aggressive psychedelica! LOVE IT! Rock on!

Good song, James. I like the EP, it's like the Flaming Lips' more conservative cousin. Sunny textures, pleasant melodies, good work!
Rocking dude!
Love the guitar trax here. Very cool.
Hardly rubbish ... Good solid jam. The leads are awesome.
Hell Yeah! Rockin'! Rock on!
This is so epic!

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.

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.
