This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
In my late teens I was in a hard rock band and this was one of our songs. This recording is not the band but myself doing all the instruments and vocals. Our singer Kevin wrote the lyrics but I forgot some of the lines and adlibbed a bit of it…
This is a lil tune I had written over fifteen years ago. It is one of my favorite progressions and I figure in the near future to record a full band arrangement with vocals. This is just a ruff take working out a melody over the changes.
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…

Aww... how does you make your strat sound like that? lol
Mine used to sound like that but I seem to have mellowed. I'm going to have to refind this vibe.
Now, do you have version of Stone Free hiding in the vaults? If so, I want to hear it.

I agree with Bee. This pulled me back to the time when I had hair that went all the way across the top.
I think I'm going to have to pour myself a bowl of Wheaties (Breakfast of Champions) before I listen again. I need energy to keep up with all those licks.

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…

No Jake today so i had a little while to play while Seb sleeps ain't pre-schools great......so i took a look at Regs life and he’s none too happy ..........Reg has had enough of her threats to leave its time to start the new year a fresh so he…
this is my first piece I've ever created, it is intentionally off beet in one part, it is designed to make your brain put it in the right beet pattern. I hope you enjoy. Oh one tip, be relaxed when listening to this song, you can get some cool…
Reg has started to look to the future and it seems a little brighter when he thinks of the summer to come...Maybe 2013 wont be too bad after all......He got the £16 pound special out for this one with a little clean Bizarro filter…
I rarely play music with other people, firstly because I lack the technical skill to follow another's lead. I can do little more than improvise. Secondly, the sort of music I aspire to make is rarely the music other folks would be interested in…

Piano, Bass, Rhythm Guitar - Mike Fife
Alive
For the first time I see
past the space behind my eyes
At once, Arise
Before
All was in sight
As light took up less space in our minds
For now, Again
Buried…
I have found some old Tapes of Reg's Great Grandfather old Blind Melon Reg who emigrated back to Sheffield from the states in the early 40's to fight for king and country these are the lost tapes of him playing live at the cellar from way back…
Red string of fate... Go look it up!
ONE RED STRING
One red string
Forever tied
Through everything
I’ve ever tried
You can always bring be back to life
Just by coming ‘round
There’s something magic in your eyes
Or maybe something…
January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely
Without letting…
this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…
Comments on JR James's stuff
Love the intro... and... oh yeah (faved)... Aww... this too good, go back to the Hendrix stuff lol
Stadium rock!!! Yeah!
Reminds me of The Fleetwoods. (Not Fleetw3ood Mac) A very specific time and place.
Rippin'
So Cream/Hendrix. Jack Bruce. Love the unrelenting drive. Stevie Ray too. (Thank you for your comment.
Deep dark...surf? Wowza!
Yeahhhh! This used to be my opening number when I was gigging years ago. Perfect for over the top lead guitar lunacy :)
Definitely should go all out with this one...
Yep, can't fave it twice sadly lol This is the one ringing in my ears as I stagger off to the broom-cupboard and switch on a few guitars and stuff...
GOOSEBUMPS!!! ..think I've busted the favourite button...!
Good one , rocks.
I think your vocal is great too. It's ideal for the track. Excellent stuff! Bethan
Wayhay! This takes me back to my beat group days. Saturday nights, Blue Lagoon in Newquay! Well played!!!
Zeperliscious...................

You badass you.
Great vibe! Fab, uplifting arrangement. :)

Yay, takes me back to the town hall 40 years! No, that's good!!! Rocking great! Yes, ok, the guitar playing is improved since then!!!

Superb...love piano and cello together. One nice vocal and harmonies.
Funky music with a ballsey vocal. Vocals are solid!
First one...pretty damn good electronic music.
This is a killer vocal! Spot on.
No rules music....meditative.
Nice and soulful. Makin that pedal board sound good.
Very good track. Like how you put the snare in the distance with reverb. Creative mix.
Dang, this is heavy. Track has a retro color on the mix.
This is the bees knees man!
A beauty. Never heard it before but it sounded perfect to my ears.
Guitar sound is a killer. Real good track.
This is wild and wooly! Great mix!
