One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.
Another "oldie but goodie" that had never really gotten the love it deserved... The original version came in at over six minutes (and even I recognize in looking back that it was WAY too long).

I have a soft spot for trains as well. In my hometown south of here I enjoyed the trains rolling by old route 66 all the time. Miss them some days.
Also really like the strumming pattern @ the :57 mark reminds me of the train horn
Written for a friend from days long past working in special needs summer camps... Now she's raising an autistic son, and doing an amazing job of it.
Still, none of it's fair.
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.

All right, well I'm starting my OsCKilO music experience listenting to the playlist "Arise (Live and Acoustic)"... Mostly becuase I already love the title track. This is just a magnificent piece of songwriting. The straightforward simple arrangement and up-front vocals are just terrific. I am such a fan of the live recording, and this is one of the best.
For those I call my friends....
Where ever in the world you are...

What a great song... Beautiful delicate arrangement. And yes, I see what you mean about the similarity in the feeling of our songs! Fantastic use of multiple vocals! I could never pull it off as you have! You are one hell of a songwriter... I am in awe when I listen to the freeness of your music and the heart that is poured into them.
An intrumental Track I put together when Thinking about my family.
One Guitar represents my son, one my wife and one me......
Two Versions with Vox (Jim Higgins and Geir Alfsen) are also in existance.. not sure how to link to this site…
Just playing around - wasn't too upset with what I ended up with. Sort of an intermission to something... if I decide to pursue this one, I'll get rid of that annoying buzz, I promise.
When I wrote this it was a cold cloudy and dark winter night here in vancouver but I was sitting in my room and was just in a sunny state of mind. I then picked up my Uke and started fiddlin around searching for a breezy chord progression, then…
Your "studio floor" as you call it must be one nice-sounding place. I hope you come back to this to flush it out further... It would be so easy to sing to this (and I hope you do at some point).
Sorry for the multiplicity. In the future, I should probably refrain from uploading until I have something more of a finished product. I doubt I'm finished with this... but it is, indeed, something more.
I've been meaning to come over and have a listen to some of your stuff, and this is just outstanding! What are you playing and how are you recording it, because the tone is just amazing.

Wow. This is songwriting 440 (where I should belong somewhere in songwriting 201). How was I allowed into this class? I have no prerequisites nor do I have professorial approval and yet I find myself here learning more in 4:28 from Doctor Osckilo than I have in years.
Incredible stuff, sir.
Outstanding from the first note. Great eastern-feeling guitar... Excellent build at the minute mark. Terrific arrangement, Brian... Maybe your best yet!
I cant seem to play this unless I do it live....
That is something new to me...
Used to be the other way around....
This is called "Do or die"...

Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Sweet song and album Keith, beauty in simplicity!
Ha ha! Most enjoyable lyrics Keith, I'm chuckling away and I don't even know who they are!
I hate F@#*in' baseball. Funny tune, much enjoyed!!
Listened to the entire album and loved all the songs. Now I have to figure out how to make room on my mp3 player. ER
And tell us how you really feel! ER
Thank you for doing this song! I always agreed with you, but this tune brings it to the forefront. Well done! ER
I was twelve before I learned F'n Yankees was two words.
Great album altogether Keith!
Nice! You got that affect of 2 instruments on this one as well.
Man enjoying this live album....very much
Sweet, get to fav this again!
I have a soft spot for trains as well. In my hometown south of here I enjoyed the trains rolling by old route 66 all the time. Miss them some days. Also really like the strumming pattern @ the :57 mark reminds me of the train horn

Really enjoying your live RPm this year, i may have to give it a go next year!!
Great stuff Keith! One day i will get to re-recording that track for you to use, but for now this is jammin. :)
Great stuff Keith! Love your guitar accompaniments. This one sounds like there's a second high part. Almost sounds like a mandolin
Nice one Keith. Understated guitar, mellow tone. Brilliant lyric and well sung.

Wow. Just terrific guitarwork counterpointed by lower edgy vocals... What a sound! For me, this is a course in guitar 101... Great track.

Soooooooooo good. Just brilliant lyrics, incredible delivery. So real. I am in awe. Wow.

Oh my, this is incredible.
Wow. Amazing and powerful. Just magnificently performed and so undeniably real. Beautiful simple arrangement. Well done, Braeden.
Wow... Great song, great feeling. What a voice and powerful delivery. I hope to hear more music from you, Rachel!
As always, Gumbo, just terrific musicianship! Holy friggin' Woody Guthrie reincarnated!
Great stuff... Very haunting sound, I can imagine the artistic movie scenes that this could play magnificently behind.
One of the best songs I've ever heard. Period.
Man, this stuff is so Jud Caswell-esque... just good in every way. Great talent!
Your "studio floor" as you call it must be one nice-sounding place. I hope you come back to this to flush it out further... It would be so easy to sing to this (and I hope you do at some point).
Again, just great from the start... Fave'd at the 12-second mark.
Yup, another great track right from the start.
Wow right from the start on this one... So smooth and delicate and poignant. Instant favorite.

Great track! Great sound, love the live stuff. Terrific lyrics, great feel, excellent vocals. First rate.
Great relaxed groove. Faved within 20 seconds.
