The inspiration for this year's album. I wanted to make a track that would make both Neil Degrasse Tyson and Pete Seeger happy...
...I hope you ruminate on the size of the universe - and just what that means - while hearing the girls play.

OUSTANDING collaboration with the great Gary Fox.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been
Captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines
In the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never…

Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years.
How old were you when you'd seen enough
How old were you when your hide got tough
Your wounds have scarred
Sometimes they still sting
Close your eyes and hear her sing
Well, I had to swear SOMEWHERE in the album.
GIRLS LIKE YOU
You’re young and pretty
Shy and smart and witty
With a face that could’ve
Launched a thousand ships
Tall, dark, and stupid
He must’ve paid off cupid
To get his ugly face…
Wrote this and performed it for my mom's 70th birthday party. Our family is a bit crazy.
FORTY-THIRTY
Well, your birthday rolled around again
The way all birthdays do
And this year it’s a big one
Once again you’re sixty-two
I’m sorry…

Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
A cover of KLandry's 2010 RPM Challenge song, Fire Dancer, lyrics below:
Time to feed the fire
Throw another pallet on
Get it burning higher
The night’s still young
I love to watch you dancing
Your silhouette against the blaze

Great songwriting, just a terrific use of a phrase that baseball-fan newspaper-reading kids like me used to see. As one sportscaster once said... "He's listed as day-to-day... Well, aren't we all?"
Hey Colin,
I'll be doing a ridiculous amount of downloading once I remove all the useless commercial musical crap from my iTunes. This track is outstanding. Man, what is in the water in Liverpool to create such great musicians, and can we please start bottling it and drinking it over here.

This, or at least the second part of it, was originally going to form part of a comedy opera I would never have finished in a million years. Couldn't resist putting it on here.
I don't normally write out my lyrics, but…
A little something I recorded on a Zoom H4n, acoustic was recorded from built in condensors, strat was recorded plugged into bottom jack using only onboard effects, mixed in Reaper and mastered in Soundforge.
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Inspired by a series of springs in the Hill Country, that are said to be so full of life that you can even see the ghosts. Or if you know the right time, the hummingbirds. A recent composition using samples and FS1R.
Haitian rhythm bed with kalimba and Ney and synthflute. Rejected for its original purpose as being 'too jazzy' ;)
The rhythmns and kalimba were old favorites that I had not adapted to anything. Added flute and textures for a website project…

Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Haha! Too fun! w;-)
Wonderful, humorous song! Your daughter has a beautiful voice! w;-)
Great track
BRAVO!
I can dig why both Tyson and Seeger would go for this one, and I applaud it myself -- great job!
Marvelous! She can really hit them highs! Digging that strumming style.
Beautiful clarinets/recorders/whistles....love the concept and the angles you take to get around something so big. I'm feeling smaller in a good way.
Just found your music. Looking forward to hearing much more. You have great stuff!!! Beautiful lyrics every song.
I wish I could favorite this again. An absolutely gorgeous track from you, Keith. w;-)
Love it...............
Wonderful just the way it is!
It's gonna be good! Kinda like it as is.
This is cool.
How did I miss this? WOW! This is a beauty! w;-)
*sigh* amen
Magical glimpse in to a beautiful life.
This is just gorgeous, Keith. One of my favourites of yours.
This is a great song! Your parents stories are awesome!
I think this one is my favorite on this album...hehehe
Courtney really likes this song

Veeerrrrry nice. Who needs the radio... I'll just be coming over to listen to Kirk on a daily basis.
Just coming on by to hear this incredible song in its perfect original form.
Glad you like it... You should go listen to the original if you haven't had a chance yet.
Love it! Glad ypu like the song enough to cover it!!! So cool to hear it with the electric.
All right... Great cover!
Great little ditty! I may need to learn to play this one.
Great songwriting, just a terrific use of a phrase that baseball-fan newspaper-reading kids like me used to see. As one sportscaster once said... "He's listed as day-to-day... Well, aren't we all?"
Ooooh... Really nice.

I may need help, but damn I love this song!
Man, great version!!!
This is a verrrrrry good un.
Just great stuff.
Great track... As you might guess, I'm a big fan of well-played guitar!
Can't help but smile listening to this!
If I was, then you were definitely Woody in a previous life!!! This is great (like all your other stuff)
Another really great listen... I'll be tuning from time to time when I get the chance!
Very cool. I'm always impressed by ambient productions and layered instrumentation. Great listening!
Great sound!!! I will be listening a lot.
This is hysterical... and brilliantly demented!!! I love it!
