There's a good reason most of Dirty Dan and the Family Band's music features the guitar. It's because his keyboard and trumpet players don't know what they're doing.

Every now and then I feel the need to make a beat that's completely out of character for me. Today is one of those days.

Written by an unknown preacher in Dalton GA in the late 50's/early 60's, this song was popularized by the gospel duo, Don & Earl, then-stars of WWVA-AM's Jamboree. Mama Corn's dobro-player brought the song to the band, having sung it in his…

Snippet taken from Mama Corn's self-titled CD. An original tune written by our guitarist, Bruce Forr, "Goin' Up The Mountain" showcases the band's easy-going nature and lush vocal harmonies. A bit beyond traditional bluegrass, the song never strays…

Written by John Stevens, Grieving Old Man is the lead-off track on Mama Corn's debut CD. A tale of unrequited love, the song's upbeat melody and catchy chorus make it one of those songs that stick in your head long after you've heard it.

Shoot as in, with a camera. Get it?

I give up! I totally bit off more than I was willing to chew. Three things. One, I wanted a song to hit 10 minutes. Two, I wanted to record a song in sections and then edit them together later. Three, I wanted to program something in 7/8…

This is not much of a remix as it is a remastery of one of my favorite battle themes. Took me quite a while to do from a sheet. Basically I just took what instrument VSTs that I could find and played their parts in FL Studios.

Inspired by Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Pirsig, all the lyrics are taken from the book and spoken/sung by Peter Gorden. It is an experimental piece.
