So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
The title track. At one point I had visions of everyone singing at the end of the album (and thank you to those of you that did), but I just couldn't get it to sound right (I don't really know what I'm doing after all). So instead of voices…
You could sing the phone book, and I'd probably be amazed.
I hear elements of Garth Brooks, Don McLean, and - of course - a lot of original Keith Landry in this song. Great work, as usual!

Bonfire Lullaby
Dannah studies my hands while I play
With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in her…
Sometimes, all you need to do is decide that you're gonna save yourself.
COMING UP OVER THE RISE
So low I couldn't see the skies
The shadows had me hypnotized
Climbing high, sun in my eyes
I was down, but now I'm coming up over the rise…

Windows down, my baby by my side

This song just completely turned my day around. Very simple and cheerful, and still leaves me feeling a bit of inspiration and optimism. Good work, Keith.

Keith - this is lovely - not only the song / guitar / vocals but also the sentiment and the slice of real life. This is a definition of beauty and serenity and... Love.

Had a bad day when I wrote this.
There is a rule I stick by though.
"Divert and sublimate your anger and potentially virulent emotions to creative energy"
So I did..
Picked up the Kay G101 and pressed record on the iPhone voice memo…
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
This is a beautiful song from Joni Mitchell. My friend had his 50th birthday and this was my gift, I played it live at his party and recorded it later (4-2-2011)in my livingroom.
It's one take, can't mis that if you listen to it all the way…
Oh my, Inge... That soulful voice of yours is just outstanding... Soothing, almost healing. So happy to hear a new track from you! Please, please, please keep them coming.
This song is written by Keith Landry.
He asked me to sing it and off course I wanted that!!
Thank you Keith!
About "Keep It Simple (with Inge)"
Well, I wrote this song as a note to my wife (who makes lists from time to time). I thought…
For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…
None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?
"It's okay", she says, "I'll definitely call you later."
If I don't go and forget to,
And if I'm still living here.
Can we say we see a…

Great track right from the opening notes. Love the arrangement (that ringing mandolin is perfectly used). A bit more attention to cleanly-hit vocals for the higher notes would have this song radio-ready. GREAT song.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Sounds lovely Keith. Very nice!
Wow! How did I miss this? Great stuff Keith!
You could sing the phone book, and I'd probably be amazed. I hear elements of Garth Brooks, Don McLean, and - of course - a lot of original Keith Landry in this song. Great work, as usual! Regards, Steffen
You Sir, are a wonderful story teller.
Love it :)
Love this one Keith. Thanks again for inviting me to jam with you on the album!!!
You guys do sound great together... very nice. :)

Lovely song, very evocative.
This song just completely turned my day around. Very simple and cheerful, and still leaves me feeling a bit of inspiration and optimism. Good work, Keith.
Fav'ed Keith, good songwriting, Perfect tuck in tune
Great track Keith. I love the picking at the start as well. FAVD.
I must echo everyone else. Beautiful songwriting.
Beautiful song and so tenderly done.
Keith - this is lovely - not only the song / guitar / vocals but also the sentiment and the slice of real life. This is a definition of beauty and serenity and... Love.
Good one.

Man, I wish I could make sounds like this. Room-filling. Damn.
Magnificent and truthful songwriting. This is about as good as it gets.
Faved at 0:01. Your signature style is just outstanding, T!
GREAT track, T!
Oh my. Faved at about 0:08.
Oh my, Inge... That soulful voice of yours is just outstanding... Soothing, almost healing. So happy to hear a new track from you! Please, please, please keep them coming.
Oh, what a voice. Heart-melting harmonies through the bridge.
It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I came by to listen to this track. How and why have I deprived myself for so long?
Faved instantly. Great listening.
Verrrrrrry cool. I would love to get into that creative mind to find out how stuff like this is born.
Definitely one of your best. Great clean sound, signature harmonies, radio ready. Outstanding.
Ooooooooh... this is NICE!
I know when to go minimalist and stay out of the way of guitar excellence!
Jim's a genius.
Faved at 0:03.
LOVE that signature Kavin slide!
Damn. How have I missed this playlist for so long?
Faved at 0:08. Perfectly mellow guitar work, with every string perfectly in place.
Outstanding songwriting, performing, and arrangement once again.
Great track right from the opening notes. Love the arrangement (that ringing mandolin is perfectly used). A bit more attention to cleanly-hit vocals for the higher notes would have this song radio-ready. GREAT song.
