What started as an interesting hiking concept that I contrived for my sister's next trip out "Hey, what if you climbed up Sleeping Beauty Mountain and I climbed up Shelving Rock. We could get out the binoculars and see each other from different…

Thanks for listening to this track... Of all the songs I've written (or should I say of all the songs that have written themselves through me), this one is my favorite.
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Love this track, Norm! Would you mind if I messed around with a little acoustic rhythm guitar alongside your outstanding drums? I've got the capo up on the second fret and this beat has me playing in a way I never have before!
A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.
This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters.
Here is a…
Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.
Jim did the Lyrics in 5 mins over the net..
And here it is..
My Harmonica was broken by the way. My…
Tharek my friend!
I came by to have a listen to this song a while ago when I was crunched for time and didn't get a chance to let you know just how outstanding it is... So Dylan-esque in all the best ways!
Keith
Well, here's a quick stripped-down version of a song that I wrote a couple of weeks ago and needed to record just to get it out of my head... Also my first crack at harmonizing with myself (kinda cool, but a bit weird for me to hear me singing…
07 She dreams Of Simple Things
In her own room
She’s her own girl
Magazine posters plastered into place
In her headphones
She’s a pop star
Hair brush microphone
And paparazzi face
She dreams of simple
Tiaras, tutus, diamond rings…
02 Perfect
See that girl over there brush her hair beside her bedroom mirror
For all the world she doesn’t show of know the glow within her
She shines inside
She powders down
And lines her eyes
It isn’t worth it, she’s nearly perfect…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
A new song that I've been working on, still yet to be titled, but heres a live recording as part of the Winter Bridge Sessions (video to accompany on youtube).
It was recorded on a bridge at night in the winter ... aka Winter Bridge Sessions…
Great live take, Corbin. For the perfection of the your studio tracks, it is the purity of your live performances (particularly the outstanding vocal delivery) that truly blow me away.
I look forward to hearing that jig-picked guitar more clearly on a studio recording someday... And loving the commentary at the end of this track. It's good to hear the voices of youth (bringing me back to my own and the crazy things we'd do... much like recording on a bridge in winter).
This is a new song that was written and performed with my friend Tim de Graauw. One evening we sat down for about 2 hours, hashed out ideas, got the creative juices flowin, played some G tar aaand out of that came this song.
This is just a rough…
Man, great live recording in the undisclosed stairway location!
This track really is better than anything on the radio today... In every way. This song and "One Step At a Time" really are as good as music gets, and has me thinking about how to improve as a writer.
To think that you've written, arranged, and recorded these two songs this early in your musical journey has me looking forward to where you'll be going!
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....
This one is called “Stoneâ€...
Peace

When I wrote this it was a cold cloudy and dark winter night here in vancouver but I was sitting in my room and was just in a sunny state of mind. I then picked up my Uke and started fiddlin around searching for a breezy chord progression, then…
Yup... I knew we'd be hearing some incredible stuff coming from you. Outstanding tune in every way, Corbin. Terrific songwriting, perfect arrangement, and spot-on performance.
Stay true to this acoustic sound, my friend, and I'll be following every step of your musical ascent to greatness!
Faved at the opening notes. Beautiful arrangement, writing, performance... Damn, great song! I surely will be stopping by at some point to listen to more of your music in the future!
This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
I'll always come by to listen to the music of Middle-Earth. Perfectly captured Elven voice sound! Oh... And make sure you get in touch with an Elf that still prefers to speak Quenya if you ever get the chance to record a real one (the high-Elven speech really is quite beautiful although the Sindarin tongue has it's own elegant flow).
Very cool song (coming from this card-carrying Tolkien disciple). Well done!
For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Wow, brilliant! I don't really understand what Garageband is...is this you playing?
Oh such a beautiful song! I bet she loves it. Fabulous story too, I get the feeling it's all true, and your kids are going to love it. Wonderful!
You do have such a great voice and this is another beautiful track.
A most enjoyable and beautiful love song.
Nice one and you got the girl to. That's great.
"A wild time is starting down at Kappa Phi... You haven't caught my eye... That might be a lie."
Nice one mate very cool. Very nice.
I like this. The guitar playing is excellent, and the lyrics work wonderfully. The vocals are first rate, of course. ER
Excellent collaboration!
So tender and warmhearted. Really a wonderful song.
Magnificent!! First class all the way.
Has an opening flavor of Nick Drake. Great song. Sweet collab
Beautiful! Great additions to the arrangement
Great duet. Nice California style folk.
lovely, touching. A nice song and excellent vocals / lyrics.
That last comment was me. Sorry forgot to log in.
Beautiful great track
Lovely work, Keith. Went with the strings then? Is this the final version?
A little rebalancing... Some arrangement starting at 2:00 or so... But same sweet little song and same incredible vocals from Sister Savage.
Thanks for listening to this track... Of all the songs I've written (or should I say of all the songs that have written themselves through me), this one is my favorite.

I just need to comment on this one again... RIDICULOUSLY good track!
Faved at 0:12. Loving the perfect simplicity of the arrangement.
Man, this is way too good.
Tharek my friend! I came by to have a listen to this song a while ago when I was crunched for time and didn't get a chance to let you know just how outstanding it is... So Dylan-esque in all the best ways! Keith
Hey, thanks gang! Yeah, this next album might be a bit too happy and way too catchy.
Another a perfectly crafted song... An instant uglifruit classic.
Ridiculously good track. Outrageously hooky... Just seeing the song's name got the refrain going in my head again!
Just back again to listen to this epic piece of recording greatness!

How did this one slip under my radar? Love the stripped-down nature with the tempo change and spot-on harmonies. Damn.

Outstanding song... Beautifully crafted and performed. Well done, guys!
Playing this for my seventh graders right now... Starting the movement!

OUTSTANDING!!! This is right up my alley, Kavin!... Now if I could only learn to play like this.

...And this song is just a masterpiece.
Hey Inge, Just dropping by to listen to your good good stuff after some time away. As always, I'm amazed by the purity of your soulful vocals. Keith
