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?

A few years back (when I lived it Texas), I drove out to an open field to watch the Geminids meteor shower... I really need to remember to look up at the night sky more often.

When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do.

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.

Roughly recorded years ago... A little more properly recorded now.

Landing hard'll change your view of time

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.

My son recorded this.
"Blast the Stereo" written by Henry Ferrara-Brown

A song about missing my wife when I travel.
lyrics
After all this time it comes down to this
You still excite me with every kiss
And every time you go away, I have to say
It makes for quite a long day
I hate it when I’m away from you…
We try to include a song about a donkey on each record. This is a factually accurate tale of Romulus, the world's tallest donkey.
lyrics
Romulus is 12 years old and 17 hands
At 5 foot 8 he’s taller than Oklahoma Sam
The world’s tallest donkey…
A tribute song to the unofficial mayor of Portsmouth New Hampshire. If you're in town, stop by The Press Room and say "hi".

A well-rounded dude

You start off watching a TV show. You end up with a song.
lyrics
Another night alone, sitting with myself
Thinking of how it used to be
I try to distract myself
Flipping through channels on TV
I come upon you there
Staring back at…
This is a tune inspired by the words of Hafiz.
lyrics:
As i sleep and wander in my dreams
you are here, keeping watch over me
and i feel your lips upon my head
and a fire flickering inside my body
My cover of Klandry's song, "Seven Weeks." I took some liberties due to the frustrations of my technical limitations.
I’ve been living like a poor man
Lying on my back day after day
Waking up wearing the same old clothes
Lying on my…
I've got nothing there
Nothing here to share either
Plenty of ideas
But nothing ripe enough to root down
I'm grounded
And nothing flys
Nothing flys by me (2x)
I recognize that tank's empty
In a pool of fuel
But the thoughts I accuse…
Don't tell me how it is, I'm good, I got it, I got it. But are we blind, and are there cracks in a facade? The riff was what came first, probably while watching the idiot box one evening. I am pretty sure it came very soon after RPM '15, and I…
This is a track of serendipity (is that how you spell that?) I was hours from deadline, lots of mixing left to do, and this track was FAR from done. I love the congas in this one. In general, this is a fun one for me. For once I actually don't…
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. :)

Whoever this "guest" is, he's a jerk.
Oh, very will done!
This is exactly what the world needed.
Man, everything you make is a favorite of mine.
Bowie would be jealous. This is OUTSTANDING.
Very nice, Tim. Very nice.
You need help. I'm glad you're not getting it.
Brilliant!
This is a gem of a track, Tim!
I was in from the opening note.
Wow. This is terrific!
Oh, this is pure magic.
Oh, this is WAY too cool.
This had me two notes in.
Dude, I love this song. This is about as genuine as it gets. What chords are you playing? Is the capo on? I may need to cover this.
Oh hell yes.
Crazy blend of styles. Instant fave.
...I may need to cover this track someday. So friggin good. Maybe your strongest vocals ever.
Such a gem, this track. Crazy good opening riff. Every time I hear this, I wish I'd written it... And I sure as hell wished I'd sung it.
Where has this been hiding. I may need to go delving into the Fox deep track stacks.
