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
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!

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.
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.
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.

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.

Great tune! Killer production. The rythym section is very Beatlesque! Especially the bassline. Good to know my homestate is producing good tuneage.

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+
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.
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!
