The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…
Last Track of the Album...
Well...
This is the perfect closing tune......
As Impressed at the Guitar and Musical skills I am, This was not the highlight of the Album for me...
The Highlight was that I was Listening to a man of substance, imparting lessons, messages and Good times and life experience that he “May have†(Sorry...Title is cool) had through his songs!
That’s what it ever should be about bro!
I have only ever listened to around three albums in my life..
Was Busy as a Kid..... And I’m from the dance music generation.
One was by Cat Stevens .... One By Damien rice .... And this is the third...
I can Honestly say that this is on par and to be brutally honest, I prefer your works..
There is an air about your album that suggests you are the genuine article!
No Pretence.. .... Just Straight up Tunes That someone can take something from...
I wrote “Arise†after listening to one of your tracks...
I Thought “Why don’t I just Appreciate what I have!â€
I hope the messages in your tunes continue to influence me...
It Aint a bad way to be bro.
Thanks for a great Album!
Peace

Another old song that got a little country twang when it became obvious that the horn section wouldn't be showing up on my doorstep any time soon.
"You fools don't know what's going on inside her head"
Wrote it over a decade ago, rewrote it five years ago, recorded it last year with the help of little sis Karen.
"I'm not supposed to be down south. Take me north."

To get ready for every baseball season, my father used to pitch tennis balls to me in the backyard. He had invented a pitch that defied the laws of physics. To this day, I have no idea how he threw it. The damn thing would spin like crazy like…
Great Song!
My Pa Had secret talents like that...
Sure and steady... But sure to work!
Taught me a thing about how to be a Dad...
Keep your cards close... And Never share the secret till the kid works it out for himself!
Great song!
Written for my youngest when she was very little, almost everyone who's had a kid that just would rather not sleep can identify with this song. Originally, there was a line in there about "Staying up this late at night makes me consider drinking…
I have a track called "Kin"...
I wrote it when the boy was going through "that time"...
"Kin" represented us all.. Three guitar lines. Me, the boy and his Ma...
I used to play it to him so he would sleep..
It worked... And made me realize how we would fit into each others lives..
This track brought back memories bro.
Thanks for that..
This track is eternal!
I used to cross over railway tracks on my way to the ballfield in college, and though I never knew why, I was always tempted to just start following them.
Sweet guitar bro!
I'm sure you recorded this live!
The complicated riffs only come in when you stop singing! I do the same!
Do You perform live?
I bet it would be awesome to see!
Faved!
A song written for a great girl who'll be getting married next year...
"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
Hell yeah!
This track is Gold bro!
The true spirit of song writing...
Share lessons learned... Try and Help!
Another point about your songs..
A four minute song is a pleasure to listen to! That is hard to do bro! And you pull it off effortlesly!
The song that really kicked off this second album of 2009.
"In time all the stars will fade away
Our kind won't get to see it anyway
No shine, just endless black between the gray
I won't be going out in that way"

Love the Instrumental Break at 1.20 where you just stop and play!
So Organic!
Thats what I Love about Your stuff!
Honest as the day is long!
Another Fave!
The sweet little girl I can't seem to get
Out of the back of my mind
Isn't quite sure what she's looking for yet
And I worry about what she'll find
Working so hard looking out for herself
I know there are times all alone
She's always had…
10 seconds in....
And the track has got me bro...
The Subject matter is Perfectly expressed...
But the performance bro...!!!!
You Don't stumble once!
Perfection......
Was this recorded live?
From what I have heard of your stuff, I can honestly say that your material rates as high with me as any pro that I may have purchased a CD from...
And the best thing about this is that it's free!
Awesome Mr Landry..
Awesome..
This is Superb Bro...
I hope/pray that I get to your level one day!
Such a Perfect song.

I just noticed that you have a Ton Of songs I haven't listened to...
Well..
No Time like the present...
It is Keith Landry night in East London!
This is Faved by the way!
DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…
Just caught this off your acoustic compilation album, Sis - Fabulous tune! The vocals are absolute money - I got a chuckle from your denial of reverb comment, but they truly sound perfect this way.
Awsome songwriting, awesome tune - Love it!
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?
God this brings me right back to advo. Givin me hope that it'll all be back soon. Don't know about you, but I can't wait for school to start again. See you in 26 days (cuz it's almost midnight).
-Britt (the one and only ;))
For Someone extremely special.
And for those that it might help.
Thanks to Dave Purssord for Playing Lead for me.
Thanks to St Mary’s for allowing me to record this live in the Church.
And Thanks to all you all here.
Peace

Some Say…
I sent the tracks for this tune to a friend of mine who owns a professional studio. I gave him no instructions on how to mix it, as I wanted someone else's take on the music. He created a very dry, intimate mix, focusing more on the acoustic guitars…
I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)
This weekend I was thinking about artists that I used to enjoy listening to in highschool. Toad the Wet Sprocket came to mind, and I thought it would be fun to cover one of their songs. I've always liked "Pray Your Gods" - even though the chorus…
Landry/Garn
When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
My first acrostic prompt, requiring the word "Hope" to be spelled out by the first letter of the lines. Found in the chorus:
Hands don't fail me now
Oh, just a little tighter
Please hold on, hold on to
Everything

The second of two versions of Keith Landry's great song.
Listen to the original [here](http://alonetone.com/keithlandryacoustic/tracks/as-the-train-rolls-through).
Oh, and I might like this one even more... Such a great edgy counterpart (and harmonies, no less) to such a fun little ditty.
Get down with your bad folky self.

Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
Just downloaded the whole album... I'll be putting in in slot one of the CD changer for the ride out to Portsmouth... Then hitting repeat over and over and over...

Comments made by Keith Landry
I definitely need to return to this playlist when I have the time.
I need to do more writing and recording in churches. This is outstanding, T.
Man, how have I missed out on this track for three years? Outstanding guitar work, Colin.
Oh, and this is just amazing.
This is sooooooo good. Quick thanks to Kavin for bringing my attention back to this Kirk Lynch masterpiece.
Faved INSTANTLY!
Man, I wish I knew how to ramble so well without ever having a note out of place. Beautiful track!
GREAT track!
For Jim's mix (and some drums by Norm (how many hands does that guy have?!?!) head on over here: http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/over-the-embers
Verrrrrrry cool!
Damn, I wish I could paint pictures like this.
Love the rough chunkiness of the guitar counterpointed by the sweet harmonies and outstanding lyrics (both of which are ALWAYS amazing).
Ha! First one in! Keep posting these great tracks from past years!
Great song... Especially the bridge... Damn, I love that voice.
Wow. What a sound. T, this is brilliant.
Oh, and I might like this one even more... Such a great edgy counterpart (and harmonies, no less) to such a fun little ditty. Get down with your bad folky self.
Man, you are the best.
Verrrrrry cool sounds, Kavin! Always amazed by what you'll come up with next.
Oh, this is just silly good.
