This one came solely as the chorus melody and the basic hook "So I'll sing my song for Carolina" It's all I had for months, but I thought it was a good chorus line so I kept humming it to see if it would sprout further ideas. The mid section is…

Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12. She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.

The closing number, the thoughtful number. It says more than goodbye.

I have had this riff for a while. It needed a song. It needed cowbell. It got both, and it's a great song to drive to.

This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it! This is now…

An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.

I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals. This is now a tidied up version 18/3/09

Banjo and Guitar and Vocal. Sometimes you don't want to look back. this si now a tidied up version of this track 18/3/09

There's a whole mythology woven into this song, and hence into the album, and the weave is fine and warm.

This one started as the piano piece. I was messing around and thought it had a vaguely Eddie Harris sounding vibe from Plug Me In (which is a killer record, absolutely killer). Anyway, I decided to develop it, since it sounds a little different…

A Valentine's Day song for my sweetie. Recorded for the 2020 RPM Challenge

"my point of view might stick in you"

Are you trapped in an endless emotional-steamroller of black-hole phases and need that extra second to glorify a unified reason to escape the soundscapes of darkness?
