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 single coil sound of my new used PRS guitar just got me in the funk. Had this partial riff on a Sony walkman from 10 years ago, decided to fill it out a little.
Summer Sun
Sitting in the summer sun
The heat warms the soul
Sitting reminiscing
Got no particular place go
life is all around me
The motion of the birds and bees
Is like heaven to me
Heaven to me
I lay out in an open field
Making…
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

Yesterday's Dreamer
Yesterday's dreamer sat on the sidewalk
Trying to find a way through his clouded mind
There was no rhyme or reason
To why he was feeling so down inside…
Holy moses! That is some grungy ass guitar playin! Sounds like a acoustic with some distortion! I can hear that whack and the metallic sound...cool sound! Lead reminds of Slash from GnR and the vocals are nasty good. Party On!

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...

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.

Bad ass!
Very cool with story and spoken word over electronica....unique and well done.
Sweet track! Zeppy Chili Funk!
Beautiful music:)
a beauty...totally captivating. Your voice reminds me of Jeff Buckley but still unique and original.
That record blew many a set of speakers.....nice cover!
Very Warren Haynes like playin...nice groove.
That made the morning that much better. Great song! Love the big chorus and your voice is gold.
Killer tune right off the bat...i had feeling it would be damn good.
That is powerful...well.done.
Love this:)
Nice cover.
Rockin the squeeze box! Nice playing:)
Spooky...spookier than the lizard king.
I thought I was in Vegas for a second......where are the showgirls!
Great song! What a crooner.
Came back for anothe listen:)
Exquisite! All the way around.

What a beauty that is. I dont know the Elvis catalog to well but that vocal captured his spirit. I dig the panning guitar effect too.
