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.
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).

I have a soft spot for trains as well. In my hometown south of here I enjoyed the trains rolling by old route 66 all the time. Miss them some days.
Also really like the strumming pattern @ the :57 mark reminds me of the train horn
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.
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.

A few months back, Jim (MTC) posted an outstanding acoustic track which summoned up a clear-as-day memory from my childhood. The vividness of that memory resulted in this song... Amazing how such significant events in your life (like recognizing…

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…

Well, my friend, I find myself back in your playlist - somewhere I need to be more frequently. As I put the finishing touches on another album, I wonder if there's any music left in me. Then I listen to your magnificent music - spectacular songwriting from a tremendous mind who cares about the world in the same way but expresses it differently - and I want to see the world differently, write about it differently, sing about it differently.
I thank you from across the Atlantic for your musical support in the past and the way I know your music will continue to inspire me in the future.
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…
Here is a *MOJITO* Fueled version of "TV Dinner" that we recorded last Monday night in my Basement.
It's one of 9 songs we will be taping for Community TV, thanks to the *Minnesota Association Of SongWriters*

Diminished Wattage - The first single from the Signals|Noise album. This song is based on an actual conversation where it was insisted that the fog in San Francisco is not real, but rather a chemical produced by the government. This actually inspired…
Rendition of Stepping Out originally by John Mayall and the Blues Breakers. A little tone secret that Eric used on some of these tracks is he set his toggle switch to the middle position and turned his neck pickup volume down to about 7 or 8 by…
Mr. Keith Landry was kind enough to let me have a play around with the title track from his very excellent rpm album.. This was the outcome. If you haven't, check out Keith's album.. Tis truly a thing of beauty
This song is written by Keith Landry.
He asked me to sing it and off course I wanted that!!
Thank you Keith!
About "Keep It Simple (with Inge)"
Well, I wrote this song as a note to my wife (who makes lists from time to time). I thought…
A brief glimpse, but that's all. Inspired by last April. It's for everyone, but no one in particular. Yes, this one gives more than a passing nod to Ham and Evans. Thanks gents!
Well, Well, Well- There is still unadulterated, unabashed love in the world. Yes, the song is masculine sounding, no shock there, since I am a guy. However, despite a friend’s comments to the contrary, I didn’t intend this song to be about getting…
My song for the 2014 RPM Christmas Challenge. It's all over the place with style, kind of like random presents under the tree. ;)
Merry Christmas to you!

Sweet song and album Keith, beauty in simplicity!
Ha ha! Most enjoyable lyrics Keith, I'm chuckling away and I don't even know who they are!
I hate F@#*in' baseball. Funny tune, much enjoyed!!
Listened to the entire album and loved all the songs. Now I have to figure out how to make room on my mp3 player. ER
And tell us how you really feel! ER
Thank you for doing this song! I always agreed with you, but this tune brings it to the forefront. Well done! ER
I was twelve before I learned F'n Yankees was two words.
Great album altogether Keith!
Nice! You got that affect of 2 instruments on this one as well.
Man enjoying this live album....very much
Sweet, get to fav this again!

Really enjoying your live RPm this year, i may have to give it a go next year!!
Great stuff Keith! One day i will get to re-recording that track for you to use, but for now this is jammin. :)
Great stuff Keith! Love your guitar accompaniments. This one sounds like there's a second high part. Almost sounds like a mandolin
Nice one Keith. Understated guitar, mellow tone. Brilliant lyric and well sung.

Hell YEAH!
Oh my. I've been away far too long. Brilliant from the opening notes. I need to go back to songwriting school. Tharek 101 is in session.

Just back to listen to this little slice of goodness.
Oh, yeah. That's the spot.
Dang.
LOVE it.
Dang.
Hey, nice work making my little acoustic track into something so much more! NICE groove.
Time to start recording and posting more music Inge. Don't keep that angel's voice of yours hidden.
I love this today as much as I did the first time I heard you sing it!
Nope. Wrong again. THIS is the best of the best.
I was wrong before. THIS is the best of the best.
This might be the best of the best.
Soooooo good.
Seriously, man. This is just so right.
Oh, now that I'm logged in (yes, you may have guessed that the "Dang" comment came from me), I can properly fave this track.
Yeah, this one turned out pretty amazing.
Oooo... Love the stuff at 1:30 or so!
First rate track...
