If I told you how well I know you
Would you tell me it's not true
Have you got yourself believing
No one could know you like I do
I know it's been a long time coming
So many others you thought would treat you right
But I'm gonna show you…
Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…

I should've paid attention
When my buddy mentioned
The state of all the guys you'd left behind
You looked so young and wild
With that come-and-get-it smile
You'd taken over something in my mind
When we were together
I should've seen the…
I suppose it could be worse
I know I'm lucky I'm all right
But I can tell that you've been cursed
And it keeps me up at night
So few are born to come in first
So many born into a fight
If the roles had been reversed
Would they still believe…
Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay"
Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away"
But I'm still standing in the light
And I won't go down without a fight
Some say, "True love is just a lie"
Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…

Oh crumbs. This is fabulous. Song, performance and production. I was planning on listening when working... but these tracks are DEMANDING attention. I'm gonna have to stop listening now - not getting any work done! I shall return later (possibly days not hours - I got songs to write too!)

The vastness of the ocean
A darkness in the sky
A lifetime of emotion
How hard you've had to try
To navigate the currents
And the demons in the deep
You have to stay awake
'Cuz they might take you in your sleep
You wish that you could…
So, my 2020 started with losing Bandit.
THE LAST LONG WALK
You woke me up at 4AM this morning
And told me that you had to see the sights
I'd read all the signs and heard the warnings
I couldn't put you through another night
So we walked…

Make there without you by my side
Something tells me that you knew you wouldn’t
Be with me later on the homeward drive"

Originally written for my sister going through 2020 hell, but man, it has applied to just about everyone by now. We'll get through it, gang. We'll get through it.
THE SUN WILL RISE
Where do you run to when you're trapped inside
Who do you…

Just a delicate little instrumental. Took my time getting it right, because, well, there was nowhere to be that day. Or any day after that. Or any day after that...
Eerie, mournful, beautiful, but so, so lonely.
These are the words of a friend listening to it. When you make a conscious choice as to who you should be, what you were meant to be, what you have failed to be, until now...
This one is meant…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…

Ok, before I go any further, I need to thank Alonetoner Greg Connor. He proposed a song-writing challenge around the theme of "Who Knew" in early/mid December. Many musicians here in the Alonetone community wrote some amazing songs around this…
A somber holiday tune written through the eyes of someone that may not be in the position to celebrate the holidays, but must look on as others do.
Recorded Nov - Dec 2018
Woot! It was a pleasure to work on this brilliantly written song. This definitely pushed my recording and arranging process beyond it typical boundaries. Much appreciation for trusting me with this beautiful little gem.
Newest song Ive written and recorded. Recorded at my sons home studio. My son produced, co wrote, and he plays the great lead guitar on the tune. Copyright by R.J. Garn and Jim Garn, December 2017.
I enjoyed this thoroughly, and as for the "guest" and his moronic comment... He has no understanding of that which he is listening. It’s sad when the idiots of the world run around giving their uninformed, unfounded, and just plain stupid opinions - all while maintaining anonymity. Go to hell, guest. Please, go to hell.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Hummable and heartfelt.
Quite epic, great multitracked vocals. Thought provoking lyrics.
A Keith Landry album with drums and electric guitar!? Seriously though, great opener.
Really really beautiful! And those lyrics are great. Love your vocals (and you're obviously an awesome guitar player too!). Nice percussion Liam :)
Reminds me of one of favorite artists, Bob Seger .... love it ....
Top notch ...
Really, really good ...
Excellent .....
Great song ....
What a fantastic track .... first class ....
Nice vocal round at the end!

Oh... gorgeous gorgeous sounds.
Awesome song. Love the lyrics and your vocals are great....nice phrasing. I also love the vocal overlays at the end!!!!!!
Just giving this track a little love - Andy and Liam pretty much crush it on this track.
Thank you for this song. We lost our Winnie on Monday night. 😢

Thank you for the gorgeous afternoon I've just spent listening to you telling your stories. A very beautiful album!
OH MY HEART
lovely guitarwork

Definitely darker than the typical Gary Fox selection. Crazy production quality. Damn fine top five playlist, Gary.
...And one of these days you're going to make an all acoustic album. Or else.
This is one of the first of your songs I ever heard. Instant fan. Been stalking you ever since.
Love when the band kicks in. How have I not favorited this before?
I can see why you chose this excellent song for the ultimate Gary Fox playlist. Getting more and more jealous by the minute.
Yup. Definitely a top fiver. Such a ridiculously good opening riff... And then the song gets better. And better. And better.
Loved this from the opening note.
Dang, man. This is good. Like really really good.
I love this treatment of what was originally the roughest Landry demo ever recorded.
Woot! It was a pleasure to work on this brilliantly written song. This definitely pushed my recording and arranging process beyond it typical boundaries. Much appreciation for trusting me with this beautiful little gem.
Man, GREAT to hear from Garn studios!!!
I ordered the fish and I got the stupid. Great album, Matt!
This is soooooo good.
"I still will buy him!" And the geek shall rule the Earth.
I was happy at the start, happier with the banjo, and sent to another level when the band kicked in.
Lin Manuel Miranda has nothing on you. Damn.
OUTSTANDING FROM THE FIRST NOTE. Holy crap, Matt. This is incredible.
Seriously, this is indi film soundtrack gold.
Dude, I love this from the get.
