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…

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

Steve Krell (SLKrell) and I have been feuding over the same girlfriend for a while now. In fact, there are several songs about her on Alonetone. Here is the latest in the story:

First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…
Love the message! Smaller living quarters, higher taxes, no jobs. Well done. Having a bit of the flu keeps it real. I had just finished a bout with that myself. Get your flu shots!

Skeen 130215
Melodic idea by Tiggy Acworth 23rd November 2012.
Made reality and added to quite superbly by David Bevan in February 2013. A perfect example of a living, breathing SKEEN. Music to live by?
Most definitely a click free recording…
Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
Comments on JR James's stuff
Good song! My feet are tapping! Let's hear the story about the Allman Bros concert.
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....

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...
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!)
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.
Comments made by JR James
Honest song, tastefully done.
Cool tune. Dig the rap....reminds me of something Eric Burdon would do.
Like how it opens up with that hook. Catchy melody.
Like this alot. Nice to listen too.
Really beautiful music.
I like the lyrics and the dark atmosphere. More scorched earth!
Yes like those Seagull ac's. nice playin.
Great vocal and lyrics. The arrangement works perfect.
Tasty opening playing. Fretboard is smokin. Love the legato phrases along with the nasty soulful bends.
Inventive....def have that raga sound.
Good choice....nice.
Hot track. Nice production and songwriting.
Yeah. This is different. Nice combo of sounds.
Nice synth textures.
Love the message! Smaller living quarters, higher taxes, no jobs. Well done. Having a bit of the flu keeps it real. I had just finished a bout with that myself. Get your flu shots!
Brillliant.
Heart warming vox. Like the banjo, it works perfectly. Very nice song.
Very creative. This is art.
Wow. Very well done. A nice pick me up tune.
Nice one. Thats a pretty intense backing track. Your vox fit perfect.
