For 2011 RPM Challenge album John the Resonator
A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair
Was taken…
Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…
Had the blues in Alabama

Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…
Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…
Three years ago, I brought my two youngest up to the summit of a local mountain (actually, we went up Shelving Rock Mountain, but that song wouldn't be as good). Have a listen to see how that hike went.
I recently bought the Imperfect Samples [Braunschweig Upright](http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/braunschweig/braunschweiguprightpiano.php) (Pro) sampled piano for Kontakt after falling in love with the sound of the demos.
I have…
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
The vodka, ahhh. One of 3 that I recorded to a dimming flashlight during a power outage.
One take into the Micro BR hole with some harmony and noodle overdubs.
Vodka
I want the vodka
'Cause I know it's gonna make me play better…
This is a bonus track as it didn't make the album
For those of you who know my stuff - does this sound like it works? or is it too much like filler - the vocals are effected, there's a drum loop - the guitar is just chopped out of a jam - i…

Very clever!
Nicely done. Very much so.
Cool! That's a Floyd tune that I'm not familiar with. Have to go check it out
Excellent!
Aw, a fitting tribute! Great cover, K!
Hey would be proud, perfect.
According to the Men in Black, Elvis is not dead. He just went home. Brit did a nice job. ER
way cool - i dig it
Ohmygod! And you made a song about it! EEEEEEK. ER
This describes my writing process perfectly. ER
exceptional!
Your lyrics are very good in this. The imagery is excellent. In my mind I can see what you saw. Well done. ER
...Johnny is sitting up there on a cloud listening to this and smiling...great!
Everybody's got the Blues.... ooh yeh!!!! now i got the Blues....
Awesome stuff!
Yes, ethereal is a very good word for this one. Nice work!
Was just about to fave this again! Great big fat sounds! Brilliant RPM album, Kavin! Your best ever, IMHO.
Great playing - great vocal! Very tight!
Comments made by kavin.
Very nice laid back acoustic songwriter album. Makes me wanna do something like this next year RPM.
Great southern rock feel on this 'un.
Agree with Kirk, this is great. Must pull out my copy of Koyanisqatsi and watch it again.
Very cool, this.
I was going to give you some positive feedback on this track, but looks like you already got some! :>D
Definitely going on my best of RPM10 mix cd.
@ Hardrick the bass sound is the fretless bass software instrument in Logic express. Pretty cool huh?
This is a fun album! Almost makes me wish we still had a little one (not..). This track in particular evokes Eno.
Yawl did good on this, I love WG. Thanks for the link!
Sounds straight outta 1965! Love it!
oooo good album but I have a weakness for instrumentals like this.
I can tell this is gonna be good stuff already, right up my geetar alley.
Very nice, this one.
Cool! Vangelis with guitars! Diggin' this album.
Wonderful album, guys. Good job!
I like mine straight up with a jalapeno slice, no vermouth.
Classic Moschell sarcasm at work here. Ever heard TBone Burnett's "Aliens from Earth"?
Heheh. Is this a Dr. Seuss colab?
I likes it. The groove, the vocal, the "awright".
Thank ye Capt. Leo is a big hero of mine and I "borrow" from him regularly.
