There's a story behind this that's uninteresting to anyone but me. A short version is that my old, broken guitar (made semi-immortal with duct tape and instrumental willpower) needed to play this Dylan song before it is laid to rest.
One of my favourite songs off Blood On The Tracks and you have covered it so well. Cool expressive vocal and those banjo solos sort of add a poignancy. Good job mate.

Tear-stained skin weathers resting near as the sun is born
A sacrament to visions of sorrow and seasons of remorse
Butterflies disturb the light with dance
Flowers sway and gently bend
Beckoning with soul the wind
Life brings another chance…
WOW! That is one beautiful song. The lyrics are lovely poetry and the recording nice and clear. I like how you have panned the acoustic guitars and also the laid-back vocal performance. Great work.
every moment
each day
searching
for something
someone
to feel
know
care
every face
each friend
rejection
and its too much
too much
too much
to bear
it's been a long
long
time coming
it's a long
long
way home
every moment
each inch of time…

This is a silly song I wrote 35 years ago for a crush. For some reason today felt like the day to record it.
The way that mountains shape the horizon
The way that lightning lights the sky
The way that ice cream makes you shiver
The way…
If this sounds like it was recorded in a single take on a $7 USB microphone, and then cheesy audacity reverb thrown in, that's because it was.
The old guitar and its player are both on their last legs, but unpacking after a move it beckoned…

Digging through and deleting some old things, found this old thing that felt like it needed a rescue. There's probably a story behind it, but that's long, long forgotten.

Agree with Bethan, too. Harmonies are top-notch, the melody and vocals keep complete focus, the big sound at 2:10 and then the piano, at the end, that seems to just sort of dance away into the distance.... this is one of the best on alonetone.
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
When I stepped into that night I felt at home for the very first time in a long, long time. When I stepped into that street I felt complete for the very first time in a long, long time. I didn't wonder where you'd been all day. Or maybe I did…

I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
Awesome, I wish I had more time these days to keep up with everyone. This one was beautiful, tender. I wish the vocals were just a bit higher in the mix... my ears aren't very good. :D

Is the vocal too low? :(
Awesome!
I'm glad you broke your promise to yourself. Eerie, trance-like awesomeness. I think you may have invented a new style of music... :D

Simple, awesome, perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool... the roughness of it is actually a big plus. More like this! ;)
This song is amazing. I like your whole catalog here -- how long have you been writing and recording?
I think this is the best recording on alonetone.... And, sorry, I will stop uploading old stuff now. :)
