I almost forgot I had this one lying around. Written for (RPM musician and composer extraordinaire) Michelangelo's January challenge, I had to use two random words out of the dictionary... So this little bit of foolishness (using industry and…
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."
I love it when someone writes about the real in life. This is it. The kind of song that carries through life's changes. Music and the voice married perfectly.
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…

This made me cry. At breakfast time. You made me cry whilst making breakfast for everyone. They have soggy chocolate toast and cheerios now. And my coffee is salty. Beautiful, touching song. I wish I'd written this for my little daughters.
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"
All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
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."
Well, it's an honour to be the first to listen to this incredible song. Love the hopeful sentiments about our mercurial life force. And your delivery is, as ever, delicious!
This year will be my fifth year coaching one of my daughters in tee ball, and although I played ball competitively into my thirties, coaching the kids is easily the most fun I've ever had on the diamond.
This is ridiculously good. I've been asking myself lately where I've heard this amazing song before, and I keep having to remind myself it was earlier this February. It has taken a place in my mind as something I've heard on the radio. It's that good.
Eerie, mournful, beautiful, but so, so lonely.
These are the words of a friend listening to it. When you make a conscious choice as to who you should be, what you were meant to be, what you have failed to be, until now...
This one is meant…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…

Ok, before I go any further, I need to thank Alonetoner Greg Connor. He proposed a song-writing challenge around the theme of "Who Knew" in early/mid December. Many musicians here in the Alonetone community wrote some amazing songs around this…
A somber holiday tune written through the eyes of someone that may not be in the position to celebrate the holidays, but must look on as others do.
Recorded Nov - Dec 2018
Woot! It was a pleasure to work on this brilliantly written song. This definitely pushed my recording and arranging process beyond it typical boundaries. Much appreciation for trusting me with this beautiful little gem.
Newest song Ive written and recorded. Recorded at my sons home studio. My son produced, co wrote, and he plays the great lead guitar on the tune. Copyright by R.J. Garn and Jim Garn, December 2017.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Great work! Awesome warm-up for RPM!
Glad you like it... You should go listen to the original if you haven't had a chance yet.
Absolutely loved this one, made me fall in love with my own true love all over again
great treatment of a nice, tender song.
Beautiful song! Love the sparse arrangement

This is such a wonderfully uplifting spring-morning playlist. We've all enjoyed your beautiful sounds this morning.

Absolutely wonderful job, Keith. Your version is better than mine. And thanks for adding the much-need bridge lyrics!
Wow...wow.
Very nice!

This is lovely.
Loved this song from the first note I heard at the start of the month. So beautifully arranged.
Dang. Just masterful songwriting, musicianship, vocal talent, production quality.
This is absurdly good. Reminds me of Maine folk singer/songwriter Jud Caswell. Just beautiful. And that chorus. Oh my.
This is ridiculously good. I've been asking myself lately where I've heard this amazing song before, and I keep having to remind myself it was earlier this February. It has taken a place in my mind as something I've heard on the radio. It's that good.
Definitely darker than the typical Gary Fox selection. Crazy production quality. Damn fine top five playlist, Gary.
...And one of these days you're going to make an all acoustic album. Or else.
This is one of the first of your songs I ever heard. Instant fan. Been stalking you ever since.
Love when the band kicks in. How have I not favorited this before?
I can see why you chose this excellent song for the ultimate Gary Fox playlist. Getting more and more jealous by the minute.
Yup. Definitely a top fiver. Such a ridiculously good opening riff... And then the song gets better. And better. And better.
Loved this from the opening note.
Dang, man. This is good. Like really really good.
I love this treatment of what was originally the roughest Landry demo ever recorded.
Woot! It was a pleasure to work on this brilliantly written song. This definitely pushed my recording and arranging process beyond it typical boundaries. Much appreciation for trusting me with this beautiful little gem.
Man, GREAT to hear from Garn studios!!!
I ordered the fish and I got the stupid. Great album, Matt!
This is soooooo good.
"I still will buy him!" And the geek shall rule the Earth.
I was happy at the start, happier with the banjo, and sent to another level when the band kicked in.
