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…
This was from about 4 yrs ago thru a Guitar Center King of the blues online collaboration. I was using Guitar Rig Jimi Hendrix Octavia on this.....pretty hairy sound right there.
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.
I always fancied having a man about the house who would sit on the sofa with his feet on the coffee table playing guitar sweetly, while I get on with whatever. This is glorious!
A bit of comic relief is good when you have some writers block. I had he song mapped out years before I recorded it. I need to record its companion "Won't you please squeeze my udder Farmer Joe?".

Ah, I remember this kinda stuff. Don't listen to it much at all nowadays, but it's nice to hear every now and then. This reminds me of "Ultimate Sin" period Ozzy - can't remember who the guitarist on that is (probably someone really famous in the guitar world!).
And Ronnie James Dio - WHAT a voice that guy had...
I'm with captgene on this one - "Rocks"

Liked this very much. If I might make an observation, your songs sound like there is, or should be, a vocal track running through them. I don't know if you did vocals or have lyrics for these, but I found myself adding my own melody and finding my own lyrics to go with the music.
ER
Nice take on that old tune.
I used stand in front of one of those red buckets for the Salvation Army with a few of my friends. This was my favorite song to sing and play.
Trippy and unique....I think I was hearing some beat boxing or a sampled beat box goin on in the rythym? The vocal eq'd like that falls right in place..)
Please also listen to the first part of this track, "Man of the morning fog".
Lots of letters downstairs.
John Capulator is a comics character drawn by my uncle. This is his own description of JC:
well first we must know what John Capulator…
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
Soulful...always playing for the song, a musician's musician. I dig the low organ and how it pops out at the end of the bridge. Another Great performance.
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?
"It's okay", she says, "I'll definitely call you later."
If I don't go and forget to,
And if I'm still living here.
Can we say we see a…

Andrew...best song I have heard in a long long time...i am blown away. Everything is perfection on this. Your voice is great...your voice is similar to Ed Roland from Collective Soul...but more soulful....I must listen to this 500 more times....thanks for sharing.
Wow...Andrew you are too kind. As a teen I would fall asleep too Electric ladyland or Axis...etc...maybe in some weird way it subliminally affected me...haa!
Comments on JR James's stuff
Great sounds.
Ooo, this is nice! By the way, welcome to Alonetone! Bethan
Ha, you make a great band! You don't need one! Well played!
Oh, my word!
I always fancied having a man about the house who would sit on the sofa with his feet on the coffee table playing guitar sweetly, while I get on with whatever. This is glorious!
The title made me come, the awesomeness made me stay!
Oh sweet man! It does sound like Dio-esque, and that's awesome to me.
Spanish style is right. Good job! =) And what a cool voice.
Oh goodness, this is really nice. Relaxing and sweet-sounding.
Oh this is beautiful listening. Might just be working out changes and melody, but it stands as it is. Very relaxing.
Listened to several selections and liked what I heard. Sometimes your guitar work reminds me of one of my faves: Robin Trower. Well done. ER
I am not sure who played on that album....thats a good google search for later....he has had so many. Ozzy is like the pimp of guitar players...lol!
*WOW* That is some intense playing! Fun to listen to.

Short and sweet... but what a tone! Made me think of Jack Black in School of Rock - I think this one qualifies as a "face-melting solo" lol
Very cool tune.
Rocks.
Cool tone.

That is a great track...i dig how it builds up gradually. I dig your voice....without verb it has a Jason Mraz quality....awesome vision here .
Trippy and unique....I think I was hearing some beat boxing or a sampled beat box goin on in the rythym? The vocal eq'd like that falls right in place..)
This is again another unique musical experience. It is great to here what musicians around the world are putting out there.
These damn dead guys are always playin slide guitar better than me! First Duane Allman and now Cobain! Lol!
Soulful...always playing for the song, a musician's musician. I dig the low organ and how it pops out at the end of the bridge. Another Great performance.
Great tune! Killer production. The rythym section is very Beatlesque! Especially the bassline. Good to know my homestate is producing good tuneage.
That is crazy how it showed that info before I processed all info...
Haaa! Maybe this is better.
Haa...doesnt feel much like Christmas these days....hi temps today 106 degrees....it was 116 on tuesday....
Dude...this song is killing me. That slide guitar is placed perfectly in the spectrum...everything is....god damn that is a good tune...jeez louise!
Who do u think u are making great music like this! Lol! This is spot on perfect. Radio needs music like this...A+

Great playing, nice recording and above all REAL instruments....i love the air coming off the drums. ENcore!
Made morning all good.....its has a great new orleans style groove...reminds me of something Robben Ford would be layin down....love this stuff...
Brooding like Nugent....cool as hell
Nice cut!
I dig your voice.....its very unique. Keep a postin.
I didnt know how to do a mix when I recorded most of these tracks....way too much mudd and bass..
Andrew...that is a great story...lol! When you love music as much as you and I do its hard to explain...
Wow...Andrew you are too kind. As a teen I would fall asleep too Electric ladyland or Axis...etc...maybe in some weird way it subliminally affected me...haa!
