Bookending the "Late December" CD, this song about my little girls on Christmas morning holds a special place in my heart. Thanks to Sam and Mick for making it perfect.

Another formerly poorly recorded song... Really a piece of poetry that was put to music (a hit-or-miss approach for me that seemed to work well on this one).

So I'm watching Ken Burns' documentary on the National Parks and realize that I'd never written that John Muir song I had been meaning to get to... So I got to it. Tim Alexander (Letter Seventeen) mentioned that he thought the song needed a…
Vocal excellence from girl named Sam... Do you really need any other reason to listen?
A Little Playing

A few years back (when I lived it Texas), I drove out to an open field to watch the Geminids meteor shower... I really need to remember to look up at the night sky more often.

Inspired by a picture of my sister at the top of the Estes Cone (I was too out of shape to get up there myself... something I need to do when I return to RMNP).
From the Top of the World
On the top of the world
Nothing 'round 'cept mountain…
When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do.
Anything Done
How am I supposed to get anything done
With you looking like that
I'm so far gone
I'm forgetting where I'm at
How…
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.

there's something about the way you sing "cool wind BLOWing"
and "satchel full of WORRies" that i really realy like. Gets me right down into the heart of the matter. Bravo.

Keith - I've been listening to your songs and I want to say I have liked every one of them. I'll keep listening, but family is interrupting me at the moment. I'll be back.

Roughly recorded years ago... A little more properly recorded now.
Pass On Love
Falling off the fence in year twelve of your lifetime
Landing hard'll change your view of time
The minutes left in life will count down slowly

A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.

Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
Now, where has this perfect little nugget been hiding?!?!? Nobody can write and sing a love song like you, Sam. This is amazing. I may need to cover this one (he said sheepishly, hoping to get the verses and chords sent to him via gmail).

Glad you like the Nick Drake cover, T! Hey, love that you're a part of the fight for autism awareness... Coincidentally, I've written a song for a friend whose son has autism (and has helped start the G-man foundation that sounds very much like the Sunrise Programme). I've told her if there's any way my song can be used to help the cause, it's all hers.
So great to hear you continuing to fight the good fights, T!
Take care,
Keith
Music and lyrics by me. Hope you enjoy. :)

In time I'll fall apart,
And you can watch it all with dried up eyes.
Our life revolves around a worsening reflection of how helpless we are.
Lights out.
I don't want to talk about…
This is OUTSTANDING!!! Anyone can write a poignant song that'll make people cry, but it takes real skill to write a poignant song that'll make people laugh.
So well written... This truly is brilliant.
Hey superstar! I feel especially spoiled having heard this one from you last year!!! Damn, I love that voice of yours.
I look forward to making more music with you... Any time you'd like.
Songcrafters.org did a "Live in the living room "festival recently...
The only music I can play in my living room these days is the odd lot of contemplative classical guitar, as anything else would wake up the family at night... :)

Holiday song written and recorded for the RPM Holiday Challenge 2011. This is about a California transplant waxing nostalgic about Christmas in New England.
Remastered: Nov 2015
Remixed: Nov 2023
I thought I'd share a recording of one of the first rehearsals for a show I was a part of this november 16th
It's one of the newest songs I've written and I feel very close to it, also the people who I got to perform with are absolutely amazing…
but the girls is around
...
Now you're back in town and you claim that you followed the seam fingertips tight on the dream and slapped with some mission of peace but the girls is around with that hip modern remakin' sound yeah you stole it…
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…
For the record, this song was written specifically with Jim's MTC goodness in mind, so I hear this version as frighteningly incomplete... But it is how it sounds when it's just me at the bonfire, so thanks to those of you who like this version as well.
Leaves everywhere today. Autumn has come late this year in London it seems.
Reminded me of a song Me Geir and Mark wrote a while back...
Written and recorded in a three hour time period from three places across the world. We just all happened…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Beautiful.
Haha "Another poorly recorded song .." gimme a break :-p
You caught the sense of the space-time being plentiful beautifully.
i had to play this again imeeediately
Masterful. That's a great image of lying down aligned to the Pole star and the big dipper. Faved.
Wow... this is a stunner... a complete stunner.
Another excellent song/performance. Your voice, guitar, and songs just hit the spot for me.

This one's a bit special.
You can't do anything but smile :) w;-)
This is beautiful! w;-)

like!
Killer track man!
Your music makes me say "aaaaahhhhhhh". Very chill.
Ah, glad this one made it! This album is a total gem, Mr L! Kudos to the man in the hat!
Love that folky feel, and oh my goodness, Ashley's voice works gorgeously here.
Brilliant!
Wow, love the thickening of the guitar sound at around 1 minute - very effective and emotive!
Lovely duet! You have great chemistry, guys!

So lucky to have been invited to sing with such a amazing talent... God, what a voice.
Holy crap. I'm always blown away, but this track is a cut above.

Beautifully told, Kavin.
Hey superstar! I feel especially spoiled having heard this one from you last year!!! Damn, I love that voice of yours. I look forward to making more music with you... Any time you'd like.
...And I have no guess what you might be thinking of, but it makes me think of the oncoming longest night of the year.
Outstanding song, T! So beautifully arranged and cleanly played. As always, I'm so impressed by your acoustic skills. Faved. Faved again if I could.
Ha! First one in. Great work man!
Always good to hear stuff is in the works, Corbin!
Ooooh... Now here's a great track. Great sound, Brett! Edgy pure music at its best. Seriously, this is some kind of excellent.
So this is what equipment check sounds like when you have limitless talent. VERY well done.
Love it! Please never stop digging through old tracks!!!
I have to fave this just for Stephen Krell's outstanding banjo addition to this song from a past RPM album.
Really cool sound... I'd love to hear these tracks without the fuzz and hiss! They hide that magnificent voice!!!
For the record, this song was written specifically with Jim's MTC goodness in mind, so I hear this version as frighteningly incomplete... But it is how it sounds when it's just me at the bonfire, so thanks to those of you who like this version as well.
Faved instantly. So good that y'all were awake at the same time!
First rate hard-driving track.
