Nice, thanks for pointing me to this! Love introspective/recursive songwriting. Love the reference to 29 days this year...I played the artistic license on calling my 2012 track "28 Days"
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.

Another "oldie but goodie" that had never really gotten the love it deserved... The original version came in at over six minutes (and even I recognize in looking back that it was WAY too long).
Written for a friend from days long past working in special needs summer camps... Now she's raising an autistic son, and doing an amazing job of it.
Still, none of it's fair.
I'm loving this album, Keith... Having already heard a few tracks in isolation during the madness of February, the complete picture is stunning. A breezy playist I will return to again and again.

One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.

Your vocal is bewitching here and yes, the stripped down arrangement showcases your wonderful lyrics. Perfect delivery...live or otherwise! Class act, Mr Landry.

when you’re backed into the corner
bears his teeth and growls
and scratches his claws on the floor
it takes a village to decide
how to count the many ways
to know your wrong from right

maybe even longer than I can remember
tried to leave many times, oh what a pity
there’s no around anymore to take me away
should I be a hermit in a barrel

clenching teeth

your eyes are just slivers on your face
rosy glow

Decided to upload a work in progress from a heavy side project called : Lab Survivor.
I have a few things in the works coming up, hopefully including an all acoustic RPM. Finally have the studio up and running with some new upgrades :) Wahoo…
This is a song of hope. I hope ya'll enjoy. I used reason for the backing track and my phone to record guitar and vox.

Guess I didn't get the hint
Still trippin' on my footprints
Clean my cuts and reminisce,
About the way things…
Kaboom!
I feel this wind in my face
I think you can take pictures now
I'm falling down
I feel this echo in my head
I think is time to open the parachute

Now I try desperately
to keep my calm with a…

New favorite. These opening licks are outstanding. Seriously, I could listen to these acoustic arrangements all day.
Ooooh... This track had me from the opening notes. Favorite track so far.
Love that lead acoustic guitar. GREAT sound.
Dang!
Beautifully haunting. GREAT concept for an album. If this track is any indication, RPM 2014 is going to make for some excellent music from you, sir.
Dang.
Yes! Acoustic RPM!!!
Great sound. Brilliantly arranged, written, and performed (as always). First rate all around.
Dang. Every time I hear your stuff, I'm just blown away. Soooooo good, Peter!
