If you would like to hear the voice of one of my vocally talented students, though, come on over and listen to "Take Me North" with Ashley... Now that kid is going to be some singer!

Ah, thanks for the clarification......still good!!

Just to clarify, the drummer is a thirteen year old kid, the person who helped with much of the arrangement is a fifteen year old kid, and the vocals are done by A Girl Named Sam (NOT a kid, but a wonderfully talented fellow RPM'er singer/songwriter here on alonetone.

That is some harmony for a 15 year old! Love the tune!

Sam sounds like one of the Indigo Girls :-) Very nice song everyone!

Oh Man! That vocal is superb! And The Female vox fits in perfect! Great mix, and blend of intruments! I agree! This one is Eternal! A Superb Song! Faved!

That's a dandy. Charming tune.

Nice one man!

Great song, great duet. I just got back from there and this sure hit the spot!

Thanks again, professional?? AHAHAHA, naaa just having fun as usual. I took 2 music theory courses and then realized it was warping my brain, so i forgot it all and went back to playing what i love.

These are really great! D & R (Alias M & D)

I really like your style. This is another excellent song.

Great song, really great. I really like the vocals. it really sounds good guys.

There is an extreme difference between the southern desert and the northern desert. Give me the North. Great tune. -M

This is a great song! A man and his guitar... An awesome thing sir... Faved

Thank you very much. I just do what i do. I love music, and yours rocks. I like your music because acoustic is my first love. My father played acoustic guitar as a singer songwriter with my mother for over 30 years. So acoustic is my first an only love. I have GREAT respect for it. If you ever want to collaborat on anything be sure to let me know. I play out of a simple studio, in a trailer park in New Mexico. Also, i had to show "take me North" to my wife, we head north to the mountians every weekend to go camping so it is the perfect song for us. Nice to meet you, and keep playing the great music that you make.

When i have more time I will be back to listen to more. Great songwriting and playing. Keep on, keepin' on. ;)

Great song.

thank you so much Keith for your awsem comment the other day! Inge

Great songwriting again...and Ashley's beautiful voice is a wonderful addition.

Hooray for live takes! This is magnificent. At the same time both a perfectly sparse and wonderfully rich arrangement... And loving the acoustic jam to run the song out. Keep the good stuff coming, Corbin!

Silly good album.

Faved instantly upon hearing that guitar. Man, have you ever heard of Steve Boynton? Great vocalist, songwriter, guitarist... Similar delivery at times... He's got nothing on you.

Faved within five seconds. What a perfect finale to such an incredible album. This is about the most perfectly produced thing I've ever heard. Every song has been given the care and treatment it deserves. A brilliant understanding of lyrical structure vs. looseness. "I cause trouble... I cause trouble." Truly one of the great American albums of our time. I'm not exaggerating. It's this good. I'm equal parts awed into never feeling like I deserve to call myself an artist and inspired to create music at a level I never have before... All I can say is thank you, Jarrett, for sharing your creative genius.

Crazy good percussive arrangement along with the signature vocals with spot-on harmonies. No-brainer on faving each and every song on this album.

Truly a master of setting the tone with perfectly played intros. Love the pure acoustic arrangement of this track. It allows the listener to really listen to the intimacy of the lyrics. Like being privy to a life-changing private conversation.

Damn, Jarrett. Is there any style of music you can't play?

I've run out of things to say. I'm left speechless by the scope, vision, and flawless execution of this album. ...Which was recorded, mixed, and mastered in just TWENTY-NINE DAYS. I am so ill-equipped to describe all that is good about this album. Definitely one that could never be properly described in words... It needs to be heard.

Faved instantly upon hearing that crunchy guitar... And damn, I wish I could sing like this. Every song so distinct, yet all so perfectly Anchorage-Drifty. Submit this album to the Grammy nomination committee now. How can such and incredible songwriter, singer, musician not be lauded by the music industry? I'm not kidding.

Such a slinky smooth guitar througout... And what harmonies. "Nothing will die on my watch." God, what a perfect line to repeat, and brought to a perfect conclusion with "except for the days of my life." Dammit... I wish I wrote that. And now with an equally perfect electric joining for a brief appearance... This album is truly a masterpiece.

...And as a testament to the true goodness of this song, it goes for 5-plus minutes and I'd be happy to let it run even longer.

Man, what an opening build into some good ol' fashioned kick ass rock and roll. Every song sets its own table so perfectly. Mixed to perfection. Makes you work just enough to hear the lyrics... Such an incredible live feel from a studio album. Totally blown away.

Perfect lead in on the electric and flawless drums and bass joining the fray. Love the perfect balance allowing the acoustic guitar to ring through at just the right level at all the right times. John Mayer would kill for this song.

Holy-crap-good vocals. First rate wall-of-guitar-sound production. Tight-and-edgy-all-at-once drums. Perfect arrangement and harmonies. First rate... Simply first rate.

So, how can I fave something twice?

Great vibe on this one from the get-go. Sometimes stating the plain truth is quite simply the best way to write a song. Every word perfectly delivering the honesty of the artist. First rate track. I may need to learn to play this one... Although whatever I come up with acoustically could never hold a candle to this outstanding track.

"And if it leads to pain, then it leads to pain." Great take on setting out on the RPM warpath.

Verrrrrrry nice.

...And just back for another listen to this magnificent little song.

Such a beautifully played guitar... Osckilo in his natural habitat.
