I was listening to the first wondering how you were going to get guitar and bass into it... and there they were :-)
Huge sound, works really well. Vocals get a bit lost in it for my money - but I was listening to the guitars by then!!
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!
Back for another listen. I went to bed buzzing last night because of this. Over breakfast, the missus had to put up with me explaining and miming the virtues of this performance... (poor girl)
That entry at 1:19 - crumbs. And 3:38 til the end... And the end itself... It sounds so "live" that I'm expecting crowd noises!
Woof! Lovely.
When you want to do it, you've got the "expressive Hendrix" thing completely and utterly pegged - how to play it and how to record it - I'm in awe.
I know guitarists - and you probably do too - who'll sit around saying "oh so-and-so just copies Jimi/SRV/whoever" ... don't ever listen to them - they're just jealous lol. They bought the right gear, the pedals, whatever, and they still can't make the sound...
You've got it in the fingers/brain/soul, and I find it a joy to listen to.
Magnificent stuff.
Demo version of a song I've been messing with.
I know what they're missing... The only girl.
I know what they're missing... The one and only in the world.

I’ve come this way like those before me
And those yet still to come
It fills me with a sense of wonder
To watch the rising sun
how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with…
I am working on some Mantra style songs...I hope this inspires you to press into the Mystery.
I am one face of the Divine...just like you are. Let's share our passions, our struggles, ourselves with one another. Let's grow in love...let us…
For you to speakSo it seems we lost our voice
Stripped down bare on copper line
Raw to subtle ears
I wait
On the line
I wait for you to speak
Of some good news to hear
While we talk ....
Can you speak your mind
I still wait for that old voice…
I must admit
I love fallen in love with you
It's not the easiest thing
but, what's a gal to do
I've been so good
I might even be a southern baptist
I must admit
I love fallen in love with you
I don't care that I'm just in the air
and another…
The imagery created in just 1 1/2 min is amazing. I am picturing an old house in the south, a big willow tree its dusk and a woman on the steps of the porch singing.

Reg went out last night to a bonfire party....Man does he meet some strange women...........so he got his £16 special down from the wall and penned this little ditty in rememberence...........
I felt her Pain (Lyrics)
i was the stranger in town…
This song started as the riff on my Strat while fooling around with some FX. I knew it needed to be a big dance number, and then realized there is a great story about the power of music and dance, which I hid in the lyrics. See if you can figure…
This one started as a the title line while driving in my car. All I had was the line and it's melody. I built the song around that about 6 months later. The lyrics are self explanatory.
Never been happy with the original mix as it butchered Phil's drum work. He did an amazing job, and deserved better. So this is better...not as good as his playing, but better than it was.

I was doing a search there on Yahoo

Thanks for listening.

I didnt know how to do a mix when I recorded most of these tracks....way too much mudd and bass..

Woo... running out of superlatives to use here. Haven't heard a track I didn't like yet.
Very nice take on this one.
Yep one of my favourites too
I just KNEW you must have done this one at some point :-) Lovely version
Wonderful flavours - great playing!
Lovely..
tasteful finergings
tuff coolness
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!
I like the tune! I saw G3 in '97.
Very nice guitar playing, thanks for the song comments!
OK... I've got to dust my strats off now (I've been enticed away by a cute 335 recently).
Thank you my friend. I have never been much of a shred meister but I try to at least phrase my lead lines to fit within the song.

Great vibe on the lead, Smart playing, not too many notes,but rininging Out all the vibe and tone!!!!!!!

Loving your stuff - fantastic guitars on this one. So much expression in the lead.

Nice Stan. Very Soulful ...love how it opens up a bit at 3:30. Made my morning.
the guitars have a underlying feel dread just under the vocal. the emotion was captured perfectly.
Really good song KL. Probably the most honest way to display a song is to do it just like it was written. Top track.
this is excellent! kind of reminds me of Still you turn me on by ELP.
love the message. your spirit shines thru.
Love that line, Striped down bare on copper line. Very nice writing.
Damn rippin solo at the end man! Good God!Eating fretboards for lunch!
:)

Top notch! Has a Zeppy feel. Another good track.
I know I have gave your tunes an ear before...this is some magical stuff. I will be searching thru your catalog often...
This is down low. Painful is the feeling captured here alright.
this is awesome! I am love this style of playing right in the realm of Hedges and Andy Mckee.
Big and Bad is your signature!
Its like a beautiful mixture of Deep Purple, and ELO to name a couple.
I always felt ballads in 3/4 allow the singer to emphasis the vocal anx lyrics. This is a great example.
Nice lively pro mix, great song. Love that halftime section!
ahhhh....great rendition.:)
That is some skankin'funk.
Made a beautiful.melody even more enchanting.
