Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…

I'm playing catch up here... How did I miss this??!!
This is mighty fine. Faved from the opening guitars - and the rest of the track lived right up to it.
Gorgeous sounds.

Okay Andrew R. , this ones for you bud. Had a little fun with it in the intro. That was the surprise.
I put the bass line down and arranged the drums Saturday morning and returned later that night about 10:00 pm . I worked until 2 am and laid…

Here 's a new one from the Kite boys. It's not been floating around too long, it's been quite a quick one from the moment that Tim dropped a little gem into our in boxes.

This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.
The haikus were written for a creativity group I'm in, so I used them for…

I put up a wren house in the trees and garden where I was living and surprisingly a house wren moved in. Every day he sang his song in a repeating pattern ... a natural loop. I held a mic out the window one morning and taped his beautiful repetitive…
I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)

We woke Elvis up for this little beauty for the 70's fest over on Songcrafters …the piano is a bit dodgy but then again Jango isn't known for his piano playing….a song from Jim's back Catalogue back in February 1970 from the Morrison Hotel album…
Poor old Reg has taken a walk in the desert to try and find salvation......I got the Acoustic out for this one.

I’ve been out on this open road looking for the way to find me

Comments on JR James's stuff
Ahhh that's super slick.
Great track and recording, particularly the sightly background guitar licks and stuff...sounds superb!
Such a great song, James.
I was listening to the original the other day... Love this version. VERY cool vocal.
Aww crumbs... Those guitars sound utterly fabulous. Tasty organ going with it too. Love it.
Have you remixed since the "vocals are low" comments? Because I'm getting plenty :)
I'm playing catch up here... How did I miss this??!! This is mighty fine. Faved from the opening guitars - and the rest of the track lived right up to it. Gorgeous sounds.
cool tune!
Fantastic playing, outstanding composition! That's great you saw Vai on the G3 tour, bet that was amazing.
Really good . Vai and Beck leave the planet sometimes, wild guitar toys.
I like the lyrics.
Very Vai like, fun!
Wonderful playing, sleek voice
yeah!!!
you weren't kidding when you said massive amount of fuzz. LOL. It turned out to be very Hendrix-y. Foxy Lady style, yeah. Sounds very good.
Yes, I like how you did this.
Very Nice Lead,, Base ? Missing Rhytham
good guitarist .
Nice Beat,, Would like a litlle l base.
Man, what an amazingly good version!
Comments made by JR James
Dynamics of your vocals shine thru on these stripped down songs. Nice harp playin....Dylanesque.
Tbe vid is sweet. Love the floating bee. Very cool.
Killed it! Backing vocals always make me smile and harmonized guitar lines with bite are so damn sweet. Touchdown!
Oh yeah....good ole rock n roll from Highway 61
Ah yes.....this could be used in a movie...quite inventive and imaginative.
Wild......from a phone.
Hearing some different genres overlapping musically. Nice introspective lyrically.
Hey, very very cool.
Some vintage country western. A rarity nowadays. Enjoyed it very much.
Vicious guitar in that left channel.
I think I have one of these fanagled macho chihuahua. Tasty slide playin...enjoyed this ;)
Pro grade stuff. Very good track.
Interesting collage of vocal types coming together.
Thanks for sharing. This is a walk on the shore nd enjoying life.
Dig it. Has a Tull feel.
Magical...love this. Nice delay effect and that electric has a nice open sound.
Dreamy and enchanting. A staple of LJ ;)
Well put together. Good musicianship with some hints from the 80's.
Nice take. Poor me cold one Sammy!
Another good performance. Man and guitar.
