A simple as it is musically, this song pretty much sums it all up for me. What started as the simple appreciation of a hiking t-shirt evolved into this song about the duality of this domesticated artist who recognizes the importance of wandering…
A song for my daughter.
My blue-eyed girl
Living in your blue-sky world
I'll do my best to keep the clouds away
Life is better on a sunny day
Smooth the road out where you go
Let your light shine and watch you grow
Believe it or not, this track was written as a pretty tame little song... Then I put new strings on the guitar and it simply refused to be played slow. Enjoy it for the drive and energy. Listen to the lyrics. For whatever reason, I hope you…
F*ck Yeah!!!!!
This is where the Sauce is at Bro!
The arrangement is Amazing!
"dark just before the Dawn"
Love the Feeling of redemption and Victory in this track! And I Love the way You use the dark times to highlight the Good!
F*cking superb track!
My wife woke up one morning and said "I had a dream about (someone we'd just lost) the other night." When I asked her if she was okay, she replied, "Yeah, it was good to see her again."
Real emotional and honest track bro...
Mortality is a subject you have tackled well here.
Sublime Mr Landry.
I love the connection you have with nature in your music. It really creates a counterpoint to put against the subject which defines it so clearly.

Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years.
How old were you when you'd seen enough
How old were you when your hide got tough
Your wounds have scarred
Sometimes they still sting
Close your eyes and hear her sing

A quick little tune written in appreciation of a small expression of contentedness.
I can see in that little smile
You're living for the moment
Every once in a little while I catch it
No one else could match it
You're more than meets the eye
I find it heard to write straight up love songs like this.
Takes a lot to stop them sounding Cheesy.
This has a distinct lack of cheese.
It's SUBLIME!
Like all your songs, there is a deep resolve and appriciation for life entrenched in the writing.
Quality Bro! Quality!
My response to John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High."
The first time I dropped my lowest string
Was for Rocky Mountain High
Last night I caught a flight
To see the fire in the sky
Where John found twenty-seven
Now I'm turning thirty-five…
Drop D always makes for a song that means business!
This sure does!
Again... This song is Majestic!!
Love those drums!!!!!!!!!!!
The Just weave in and out of the Guitar to the extent they become one.
Totally Awesome!
Faved.
Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?
It's Landry night again!
Yep... From the opening notes, I see this Album is gonna be a good one!
I love that Chord progression. It is one that Always sounds different depending who plays them. I got a song called "on the fence" that follows them... But not as majestic as this!!!!
Love the bridge to the chorus!
Lyrics suit the Awesome feel of the song!
I'll be walking this trail bro...Great Opener!!
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…

Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
A cover of KLandry's 2010 RPM Challenge song, Fire Dancer, lyrics below:
Time to feed the fire
Throw another pallet on
Get it burning higher
The night’s still young
I love to watch you dancing
Your silhouette against the blaze

Great songwriting, just a terrific use of a phrase that baseball-fan newspaper-reading kids like me used to see. As one sportscaster once said... "He's listed as day-to-day... Well, aren't we all?"
Hey Colin,
I'll be doing a ridiculous amount of downloading once I remove all the useless commercial musical crap from my iTunes. This track is outstanding. Man, what is in the water in Liverpool to create such great musicians, and can we please start bottling it and drinking it over here.

This, or at least the second part of it, was originally going to form part of a comedy opera I would never have finished in a million years. Couldn't resist putting it on here.
I don't normally write out my lyrics, but…
A little something I recorded on a Zoom H4n, acoustic was recorded from built in condensors, strat was recorded plugged into bottom jack using only onboard effects, mixed in Reaper and mastered in Soundforge.
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Inspired by a series of springs in the Hill Country, that are said to be so full of life that you can even see the ghosts. Or if you know the right time, the hummingbirds. A recent composition using samples and FS1R.
Haitian rhythm bed with kalimba and Ney and synthflute. Rejected for its original purpose as being 'too jazzy' ;)
The rhythmns and kalimba were old favorites that I had not adapted to anything. Added flute and textures for a website project…

I wish I could strum like that, I'm rubbish. I like your little glitches and the laughes that follow. Yeah, looking forward to it!
Nice mate really enjoyed this one.
Anytime you need some bass let me know. I'm always ready for a collab. I've been playing bass more and more these days, and love it.
Nice change ups Keith. Diggin it ;)

Veeerrrrry nice. Who needs the radio... I'll just be coming over to listen to Kirk on a daily basis.
Just coming on by to hear this incredible song in its perfect original form.
Glad you like it... You should go listen to the original if you haven't had a chance yet.
Love it! Glad ypu like the song enough to cover it!!! So cool to hear it with the electric.
All right... Great cover!
Great little ditty! I may need to learn to play this one.
Great songwriting, just a terrific use of a phrase that baseball-fan newspaper-reading kids like me used to see. As one sportscaster once said... "He's listed as day-to-day... Well, aren't we all?"
Ooooh... Really nice.

I may need help, but damn I love this song!
Man, great version!!!
This is a verrrrrry good un.
Just great stuff.
Great track... As you might guess, I'm a big fan of well-played guitar!
Can't help but smile listening to this!
If I was, then you were definitely Woody in a previous life!!! This is great (like all your other stuff)
Another really great listen... I'll be tuning from time to time when I get the chance!
Very cool. I'm always impressed by ambient productions and layered instrumentation. Great listening!
Great sound!!! I will be listening a lot.
This is hysterical... and brilliantly demented!!! I love it!
