one word: Amazing!!!! put's me in a good mood!

Thanks, Kavin! Jim really did a fantastic job of running with the song much the way you did so perfectly with "Bandit"... The playlist pic is from Mary's Lake (I think that's the name of it) just outside Rocky Mountain National Park.... Which, by the way, is where the playlist cover for "The Trail" is from as well.

..and MTC Jim!

very nice Keith. Where exactly was that playlist pic taken?

Ahh, love your voice, Keith! And yes, the guitar is super! Brilliant collab!

That's an instant fav. Downloaded for my personal AT collection.

Far out, guys! I love that guitar melody right around a minute into it and the solo - hell I think it's all awesome. Great stuff!

Good mix buddy! Dig it. ;)

Well done.

There is an interesting story to that song. Long winded but interesting. It seemed like all day from morning until evening, every story someone shared was geared tward some horrible thing that they had heard about. I got home and was watching a show about the crazy ______ (<-- instert words here) that kidnap women...just horrible, horrible stuff. Then my wife began telling me about a man who was going to put down a dog, but he had a felony and could not get a gun, so he took a knife and stabbed it to death. It had been a very long and stressful day and these stories just started to really mess with my head. Seriously? What is up with people like that. So I grabbed my guitar and was going to work on our jam a bit. Put the capo on and the first note I hit just sent my mind spinning. Just as you put it, i grabbed my notebook,wrote down everything that came to mind. Picked up my guitar and turned on the mic and it just came out. Sometime's I feel I have to release whatever has been dwelling before I can get back to my usual state of mind. Drinking coffee, jamming good music, and getting focused for what is ahead. In short, I still have my capo on the guitar and should have something killer back to you tonight. Talk at you soon Keith -JG

Well Done.

I am always moved by the tone of your voice. It's a true gift.

Nicely done Keith top job.

Good one Keith!

Sounding good Keith. Lots of good feeling and soul.

sounds FNG to me.

Instant favorite man. It's a wonderful thing.

Very cool

nice love the guitar keep it up!

Well, so far it really is very pretty Keith. Looking forward to the finished track.

Woody Guthrie AND Kavin... One hell of a nice recipe for music.

Ah, good to see another upload! I hope you continue to dip into the old catalog of tunes... An oldie but goodie, this one.

...And this might be the best of the lot. Man, what a great sound! Six songs uploaded are simply not enough from you! I'll be looking out for more. Keep writing and playing. You've picked up a fan here in NY.

Radio ready sound. Damn... I guess all of strawbfan's tracks are going to be this good.

Man, how have I missed out on this stuff these last couple of months... Good thing I randomly picked a point on the alonetone map to see who's in the state... To think of what I would have missed out on!

Great track... Rings so true. I have been there my friend, and man does this song hit home so perfectly! And the outstanding upbeat nature of the song is just a perfect counterpoint to the harsh sentiments of the insane person.

Excellent arrangement!!! Love the acoustic sound. Faved when that third guitar dropped in at just the right time.

Faved for Kavin's slide guitar goodness!

How the hell did I miss this one! I gotta get my head out of my ass and swing by the osckilo part of the world more often! Well done, my friend!

REALLY clean work here! Great production quality on this track, Brian!... And clearly a great deal of time was spent on this... And the fun created truly does come through. Well done!

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae64/mtcband/Mobile%20Uploads/th_AWARD.jpg Thank you so much M.T.C. Music award committee for recognizing such a relatively simple acoustic track from such a relatively simple person... (puts hand over mic to ask presenter, "Are you sure I really won this... Did you read the wrong name?")... I'd like to thank my new laptop for not crashing during the 2011 RPM process, and not developing an editing mind of it's own as the last one had. I'd also like to thank time, seeing as how I needed so friggin' much of it to get the fingerpicked portions of this song eventually done right. A big thank you to the inspiration for the songs, my always-ready-to-go-no-matter-how-absurdly-cold-it-is daughters. And a special thank you to my beautiful (and extremely tolerant) wife Kimberly for taking these same terrific daughters off my hands during my February vacation (sorry, Florida, for the pink invasion). Where's the after party!

I can always count on a little slice of perfection from Peter... Perfectly crafted song, my friend! I truly envy your mastery of your voice, virtuosity with your instruments, and flawless ear for arrangement.

Excellent track! So perfectly melodic and understated!

Hey superstar! So glad to see this one posted on your page!... I'll be finding some time in the coming weeks to record yet another version (with my vocals alongside yours), but I don't think I could possibly top Willem's!

(@Reefwalker) I may go back and record a different version with the two of us singing together. It is daunting to try to keep up with her incredible vocal talents, though!

Corbin, Just swinging by again to have a listen to this little piece of perfection. Hey, how many of the instruments are you playing on this? I'd love to hear the recording process for this song. It truly is one of the most perfectly crafted, arranged, and performed songs I have ever heard. Be good and keep charging toward greatness! Keith

What incredible music, Craig! I can't believe I've missed out on these perfect tunes for so long!

My oldest is a serious mountain hiker, herself. I'll be playing this beautiful song for her later... If you want to hear my version of a hiking song (a day with my middle and youngest when they were really little), come on over for a listen! http://alonetone.com/keithlandryacoustic/tracks/sleeping-beauty-mountain I've got a bunch of other songs over there written about hiking in the mountains... But none so tremendously arranged as this gem of yours.

Faved instantly!

I'm always blown away by what comes out of your mind, through your hands, in into a microphone. Such good sounds... Always such good sounds.
