Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?

This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…

This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…
I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
These are really good songs. I would love to hear them recorded in a studio setting w/ equip etc.... I can feel the soul and the heart of the songs just as you have them. Very nice.

@Tess,
Its played using a YouRock guitar midi controller. I play it fingerstyle for the most accurate piano affect. It does the trick. I am using a vsti called PianoOne which is sounds most realistic for a free plugin.
I've been working on this song for 3 years. I recorded it many times. I was never happy with it until Trevor(Regs) made it a song. Fantastic job on the vox man.
Theres something I would share with you, if you ever asked me to.
Perhaps it is a secret, perhaps you already know.
Im not the boy you look for now, but I could change.
Im not in love with myself, but I think I am with you.
Lets find a road weve…
My first upload.
This is a cover of probably my favourite song of all time, by The Waterboys, who were introduced to me many years ago when the highlight of my week was Thursday night TV, pizza and quaffing Baileys.
Thanks to Sister S for…
A Mat Kearney cover. I'm moving to Australia next month and unfortunately have to give Sister Savage her lovely guitar back which she kindly lent to me (ages ago), so had to quickly get one upload on before I give it back and my stuff goes on…
Poor old Reg just can't seem to stop his old ways and leave them behind....i'm not sure he even tries you know............

Oh well, nothing like going to a middle school music function to break writers block, all those posters and flare about achievement...
Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !

This could start a beer brawl! Rockin tune!
Sick right from the start. This deserves a grammy!
Fits the bill perfectly:)
Melodic indeed. Very nice.
Awesome vocals and another fine piece of songwriting.
Great songwriting. Like the rythym of the lyric. Very Nice:)
Damn good riff. Love those drum smackin away! Nice psychedelic solo.
I like the unrest of the strings. Like impending doom. Another good one!
Very, very cool. Outside the box and screaming.
Now that is some killer orchestration! Damn nice work. The depth of the instruments is so realistic.
