Matt, this album is really something special. Your singing is great, the performances are top notch, and I love the production. Be proud of this, be really proud. Great ****ing record, my good sir.
There's a line in an Indigo Girls song that says, "If you need to know that you weathered the storm of cruel mortality, a hundred years later I'm sitting here living proof." For me, ever since hearing the words "cruel mortality," they have always…

Welcome to my RPM album. The line "You might not get what you want - You'll get what you deserve" came to me without me truly understanding it.
By the time I finished recording the album, it all made sense.
WHAT YOU DESERVE
Is this what…
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…
I’d love to talk to you some time about how you get your vocals to sound this good (I mean besides just being a much better singer than me). I’m always jealous of how good it all sounds.
Created all in one go with nothing to write on while I walked the Hilton Head beach in the rain last spring, this gentle little song more came through me than from me.
ROLLING ON BY
I had an old soul when I was a young man
Turning my phrases…
This pretty much sums it all up for me I guess.
STONE FROM THE OCEAN
Keith Landry: Vocals, Guitar
Liam Byrne: Drums
Brian Martin: Bass
Brian Mooney: Piano
Chasing the daylight
On the horizon
Down to the sea
The tilt of the…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
Every year a few of us RPM Challenge aficionados record a Christmas track for fun. It's partially to dust off the cobwebs before February, partially just a chance to do something different. This year I decided to do a version of this number, since…
This one's the single. It's fun to play and fun to sing when I was in the studio. It's meant to played loud. Actually, the whole album is. Thanks for listening! Cheers, Gary

An afternoon on the Saco with Karen always leads to delusions of grandeur. Now where did I leave that eye patch?
SACO RIVER PIRATES
Another Maine sunrise on the not so high seas
Hand me my eyepatch, I’ll help you tie the peg leg to your…
You'll tell me when you're ready.
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
Where have you been is all they’ve been asking
Where are you going is what I’d like to know
Why are you running when nobody’s chasing?
What are you hiding? What can’t…
Welcome to my day on the river with Karen, folks.
INTO THE LIGHT (THIS LAZY RIVER)
Take me down to the river
Throw the jackets in the hull of the boat
Let the current deliver
To the bend at the bridge where it’s harder to float
What…

This intro is fantastic.
Cool number. For some reason it sounds like it could have been part of School House Rock back in the day...
The production quality on your record this year is over the top, Matt. Really stellar job.
Cool departure from the rest of the record. Bass is awesome.
Love the syncopation. Matt, this record is kick-arse.

Also, love the whistling. Axl Rose, eat your heart out
Your guitar tone on this one is delicious
Theme song for our shared insanity :)
Never heard this one before. Shame on me. Glad I have now. Great song, love the acoustic guitar. Gonna hit that heart and favorite this for revisits.
Killer!
I’d love to talk to you some time about how you get your vocals to sound this good (I mean besides just being a much better singer than me). I’m always jealous of how good it all sounds.
I love this one, Gary.
On e you hear it once, you’ll never be able to hear it again without singing along
There aren’t enough adjectives to say how much I like this song.
Another great one
How have I not heard this one before? Yeesh. Great tune, Keith
I love this, Gary! Happy holidays.
You’re the best kid ever. I’m so proud of you.
I like the bass in this one
This is killer!
Nice backing vocals Wilsun
Drums sound good... all that effort paid off.
Listened to the whole album. Nice work all around this year.
Do I detect a Harry Chapin influence?
Wow, you weren’t kidding: this guitar tone is great, Keith.
