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…

It does have Allman Bros. vibe....thought the same thong after I laid down the elec rythym gtrs.....oh man do I have a story about an Allman bros concert I was at in'96.....good god....

Tasty.
Does sound very summery - almost enough to block out the rain going on here.
Maybe it's cos I'm a guitarist, but I felt no "rambling on" without the vocal. It's almost got an Allman Brothers vibe to it.
Just realised I hadn't listened to this...
There's quite an amazing breadth of styles you handle. I feel like I do electric stuff and acoustic stuff, but it's all pretty much rock-pop with hints of blues, country, and folk in varying degrees. The only time I step out of this is if I approach the recording machine without a finished song and just wing it (rarely finish any of those though!).
Another nice one :-)
lol - that'll teach me to post before the owner has fixed the title etc...
Good excuse to give it a second listen. And reading the "About" now - yeah, I thought David Bowie when I was listening to "75e67 c5 etc" (actually, that might have been what made me think of David Bowie!)
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?".
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!
This one kind of sneaks up on me. First listen didn't grab me a lot - nice guitars and all, but...
Second listen, I was right there. Nice groove and cool song on top of it.
Yeah, I can here all sorts of progression going on in these tracks. But even here you can tell you've got the ears. You've had a big effect on me the last few days - not sure what I'm recording next, but I can tell you the acoustic is sat on it's stand looking worried now!! lol

The Mornings Aint Warm

planted deep in the back of my head
are the seeds of things my daddy once said
and up sprouted this stubborn old tree
with fading roots and lofted dreams
there's still a couple of two by fours

Home Again
(boudreau)
I was brought up just north of New York City
Where the Merrit greets the Hutch
In a noisy house on a quiet street
Where the neighbors know too much
There's a weekend in spring when they throw out old things
and…
I started pickin' the riff on my godin acoustic/electric ... put it down and built from there but when came to doing some sort of lead I heard a bit of slide ... never really been a slide player but I new I had one somewhere ... searched everywhere…

Verse 1
I knew I was a rocker in my groovy leather pants
I looked at all…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…

Good song! My feet are tapping! Let's hear the story about the Allman Bros concert.

These damn dead guys are always playin slide guitar better than me! First Duane Allman and now Cobain! Lol!
Your slide guitar sounds like Kurt Cobain haha very well done man!

Very cool, yeah, it kinda sounds like one first few tracks on Bowie's Low album.
That is crazy how it showed that info before I processed all info...

Haaa! Maybe this is better.
Like this one. Kinda tricky lyric though - I can see why you haven't sung it lol
Haa...doesnt feel much like Christmas these days....hi temps today 106 degrees....it was 116 on tuesday....
Merry Christmas ....".
lol Been trying to make some sort of reasoned critique/comment, but I'm laughing too much
Now this one grabbed me immediately. Really well put together.

Ah, THE main man, this should get some response, the great human to walk the Earth, Jimi, or was he ??!!??!!
A really fine song.....great sounds...

Nice one, very punchy.

Dig the compression and analog dirt.
These are all goodies. Nice rockers! Nice crisp guitars and spot on vocals and harmonies.....a trademark.
Really good song. :)
Immediately liked!
Incredible....nice work.
Impressive playing. Cant get enough.
Ahhh....nice take cant wrong with Stevie Wonder with a reggae vibe.
Classic....nice live cover.
Classic....:)
I am diggin all the horns....
Bad ass tracks here once again. Always love the upfront big guitars. Horns give it a Beatles feel.
Impressive vocals....love the tone of voice...very interesting and unique vision comes thru in these songs...
Ooohhh like that slide.....thats a bad ass blues tune.
Nice delivery....straight to the point and drug tested employees a bonus!
Oh wicked! Thatis roadhouse jammin! Reminds of Jeff Healy Confidence Man. Killer.
Bitchin tune.
Soulful...rewind play again...
Peculiar.....no resolve...experimental journey.
Oh yeah...like the riff and the tones....killer playing RJ. Solo style similar to early Alex Lifeson.
Those changing guitar tones are very cool...has a green day feel.
