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…

Baby can you here the thunder tonite?
Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?

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…
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.
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…
@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............

The days go by
sometimes i’m high
sometimes i’m lost

High

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 !

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 :)

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!

Hey nice tribute..Especially on this day.
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.
Love the character in your voice. Very good song.
Great job to all involved on that collab.
This is brilliant!
Hell yeah! Nice pick!
Very good song and vocals.
Another very good composition.:)
Nice song and arrangement:)

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.
