So I'm watching Ken Burns' documentary on the National Parks and realize that I'd never written that John Muir song I had been meaning to get to... So I got to it. Tim Alexander (Letter Seventeen) mentioned that he thought the song needed a…
Vocal excellence from girl named Sam... Do you really need any other reason to listen?

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.

there's something about the way you sing "cool wind BLOWing"
and "satchel full of WORRies" that i really realy like. Gets me right down into the heart of the matter. Bravo.
Another formerly poorly recorded song... Really a piece of poetry that was put to music (a hit-or-miss approach for me that seemed to work well on this one).

Keith - I've been listening to your songs and I want to say I have liked every one of them. I'll keep listening, but family is interrupting me at the moment. I'll be back.

A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.

"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Love this track, Norm! Would you mind if I messed around with a little acoustic rhythm guitar alongside your outstanding drums? I've got the capo up on the second fret and this beat has me playing in a way I never have before!
A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.
This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters.

The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.

Tharek my friend!
I came by to have a listen to this song a while ago when I was crunched for time and didn't get a chance to let you know just how outstanding it is... So Dylan-esque in all the best ways!
Keith
Well, here's a quick stripped-down version of a song that I wrote a couple of weeks ago and needed to record just to get it out of my head... Also my first crack at harmonizing with myself (kinda cool, but a bit weird for me to hear me singing…
07 She dreams Of Simple Things
In her own room
She’s her own girl
Magazine posters plastered into place
In her headphones
She’s a pop star
Hair brush microphone
And paparazzi face
She dreams of simple
Tiaras, tutus, diamond rings…
02 Perfect
See that girl over there brush her hair beside her bedroom mirror
For all the world she doesn’t show of know the glow within her
She shines inside
She powders down
And lines her eyes
It isn’t worth it, she’s nearly perfect…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
A new song that I've been working on, still yet to be titled, but heres a live recording as part of the Winter Bridge Sessions (video to accompany on youtube).
It was recorded on a bridge at night in the winter ... aka Winter Bridge Sessions…
Great live take, Corbin. For the perfection of the your studio tracks, it is the purity of your live performances (particularly the outstanding vocal delivery) that truly blow me away.
I look forward to hearing that jig-picked guitar more clearly on a studio recording someday... And loving the commentary at the end of this track. It's good to hear the voices of youth (bringing me back to my own and the crazy things we'd do... much like recording on a bridge in winter).
This is a new song that was written and performed with my friend Tim de Graauw. One evening we sat down for about 2 hours, hashed out ideas, got the creative juices flowin, played some G tar aaand out of that came this song.
This is just a rough…
Man, great live recording in the undisclosed stairway location!
This track really is better than anything on the radio today... In every way. This song and "One Step At a Time" really are as good as music gets, and has me thinking about how to improve as a writer.
To think that you've written, arranged, and recorded these two songs this early in your musical journey has me looking forward to where you'll be going!
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....
This one is called “Stoneâ€...

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…
Yup... I knew we'd be hearing some incredible stuff coming from you. Outstanding tune in every way, Corbin. Terrific songwriting, perfect arrangement, and spot-on performance.
Stay true to this acoustic sound, my friend, and I'll be following every step of your musical ascent to greatness!
Faved at the opening notes. Beautiful arrangement, writing, performance... Damn, great song! I surely will be stopping by at some point to listen to more of your music in the future!
This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
I'll always come by to listen to the music of Middle-Earth. Perfectly captured Elven voice sound! Oh... And make sure you get in touch with an Elf that still prefers to speak Quenya if you ever get the chance to record a real one (the high-Elven speech really is quite beautiful although the Sindarin tongue has it's own elegant flow).
Very cool song (coming from this card-carrying Tolkien disciple). Well done!
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…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
You caught the sense of the space-time being plentiful beautifully.
i had to play this again imeeediately
Masterful. That's a great image of lying down aligned to the Pole star and the big dipper. Faved.
Wow... this is a stunner... a complete stunner.
Another excellent song/performance. Your voice, guitar, and songs just hit the spot for me.
there's something about the way you sing "cool wind BLOWing" and "satchel full of WORRies" that i really realy like. Gets me right down into the heart of the matter. Bravo.
This one's a bit special.
You can't do anything but smile :) w;-)
This is beautiful! w;-)

like!
Killer track man!
Your music makes me say "aaaaahhhhhhh". Very chill.
Ah, glad this one made it! This album is a total gem, Mr L! Kudos to the man in the hat!
Love that folky feel, and oh my goodness, Ashley's voice works gorgeously here.
Brilliant!
Wow, love the thickening of the guitar sound at around 1 minute - very effective and emotive!
Lovely duet! You have great chemistry, guys!
This is a great song. Fabulous vocals also! My fave on the album so far.
Beautiful playing - lovely warm summer feelings here...maybe your Decembers are warmer than ours. :)

I just need to comment on this one again... RIDICULOUSLY good track!
Faved at 0:12. Loving the perfect simplicity of the arrangement.
Man, this is way too good.
Tharek my friend! I came by to have a listen to this song a while ago when I was crunched for time and didn't get a chance to let you know just how outstanding it is... So Dylan-esque in all the best ways! Keith
Hey, thanks gang! Yeah, this next album might be a bit too happy and way too catchy.
Another a perfectly crafted song... An instant uglifruit classic.
Ridiculously good track. Outrageously hooky... Just seeing the song's name got the refrain going in my head again!
Just back again to listen to this epic piece of recording greatness!

How did this one slip under my radar? Love the stripped-down nature with the tempo change and spot-on harmonies. Damn.

Outstanding song... Beautifully crafted and performed. Well done, guys!
Playing this for my seventh graders right now... Starting the movement!

OUTSTANDING!!! This is right up my alley, Kavin!... Now if I could only learn to play like this.

...And this song is just a masterpiece.
Hey Inge, Just dropping by to listen to your good good stuff after some time away. As always, I'm amazed by the purity of your soulful vocals. Keith
