No envy Keith. You play just as damn good my friend. I am glad you were one of the first to listen to that track, being an acoustic genius.
Actually most of that song is all my friend Lance. He showed me the tuning and the main riff, I just went for the ride.
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…

I knew I heard this before!
Great to come back to it!
What a Great Listen this Album has been!
I was Gonna crack open some Wine, but got into the music instead! Lol!
Awesome mr Landry... Awesome!
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…
A simple as it is musically, this song pretty much sums it all up for me. What started as the simple appreciation of a hiking t-shirt evolved into this song about the duality of this domesticated artist who recognizes the importance of wandering…
Hooray for live takes! This is magnificent. At the same time both a perfectly sparse and wonderfully rich arrangement... And loving the acoustic jam to run the song out.
Keep the good stuff coming, Corbin!
Faved instantly upon hearing that guitar. Man, have you ever heard of Steve Boynton? Great vocalist, songwriter, guitarist... Similar delivery at times...
He's got nothing on you.
Faved within five seconds. What a perfect finale to such an incredible album. This is about the most perfectly produced thing I've ever heard. Every song has been given the care and treatment it deserves.
A brilliant understanding of lyrical structure vs. looseness. "I cause trouble... I cause trouble."
Truly one of the great American albums of our time. I'm not exaggerating. It's this good. I'm equal parts awed into never feeling like I deserve to call myself an artist and inspired to create music at a level I never have before...
All I can say is thank you, Jarrett, for sharing your creative genius.
Truly a master of setting the tone with perfectly played intros. Love the pure acoustic arrangement of this track. It allows the listener to really listen to the intimacy of the lyrics. Like being privy to a life-changing private conversation.
I've run out of things to say. I'm left speechless by the scope, vision, and flawless execution of this album.
...Which was recorded, mixed, and mastered in just TWENTY-NINE DAYS.
I am so ill-equipped to describe all that is good about this album. Definitely one that could never be properly described in words... It needs to be heard.
Faved instantly upon hearing that crunchy guitar... And damn, I wish I could sing like this.
Every song so distinct, yet all so perfectly Anchorage-Drifty. Submit this album to the Grammy nomination committee now. How can such and incredible songwriter, singer, musician not be lauded by the music industry?
I'm not kidding.
Such a slinky smooth guitar througout... And what harmonies.
"Nothing will die on my watch." God, what a perfect line to repeat, and brought to a perfect conclusion with "except for the days of my life."
Dammit... I wish I wrote that.
And now with an equally perfect electric joining for a brief appearance... This album is truly a masterpiece.
Man, what an opening build into some good ol' fashioned kick ass rock and roll. Every song sets its own table so perfectly. Mixed to perfection. Makes you work just enough to hear the lyrics... Such an incredible live feel from a studio album.
Totally blown away.
Perfect lead in on the electric and flawless drums and bass joining the fray. Love the perfect balance allowing the acoustic guitar to ring through at just the right level at all the right times. John Mayer would kill for this song.
Holy-crap-good vocals. First rate wall-of-guitar-sound production. Tight-and-edgy-all-at-once drums. Perfect arrangement and harmonies.
First rate... Simply first rate.
Great vibe on this one from the get-go. Sometimes stating the plain truth is quite simply the best way to write a song. Every word perfectly delivering the honesty of the artist.
First rate track. I may need to learn to play this one... Although whatever I come up with acoustically could never hold a candle to this outstanding track.
This song is about the RPM Challenge; having 28 days (yes, I cheated, this year we get 29) to write and record a 10 song album. The illustrious Ghost Tea (http://soundcloud.com/ghosttea) added some rhymes to make it extra special!

-Lyrics-
When the world is in battle,
It grows hard to see,
The fights that occur within lines.
Constant distraction dispensed
From the top
of the castle
With oil down its sides.
All of the effort
now wasted…
What is less....
W/M by OsCKilO
Wealthy though our Wage has long been spent.
Treasures here from old world comforts rest .
Don't have no Limousine come calling at my door.
Can't buy my time - while -I am running late.
See, hear…

Crazy good percussive arrangement along with the signature vocals with spot-on harmonies. No-brainer on faving each and every song on this album.

Damn, Jarrett. Is there any style of music you can't play?

So, how can I fave something twice?

"And if it leads to pain, then it leads to pain." Great take on setting out on the RPM warpath.
Verrrrrrry nice.
...And just back for another listen to this magnificent little song.
Such a beautifully played guitar... Osckilo in his natural habitat.
