A cover of a 2010 RPM Challenge song by A Beautiful Scene. Lyrics:
Pouring Rain by A Beautiful Scene
This year I thought of you, far too many times
And it’s made me think
Of things that’ve become over there and they…
And how do I know…

I had to work with a musican that had a huge ego problem. I finally had to express my frustration with that musician in song. This is a James Brown funk feel with a pop hook.
Uploaded
I really feel that love and compassion are much more important than physical beauty and this song is about that belief. It has a Stevie Wonder R&B feel to it.
Uploaded
Living in Milwaukee and driving throught the ghetto and working with kids from the hood, I felt compelled to tell their story in song. This song is funk like Sly and the Family Stone.
Uploaded
This one is for every woman looking for a good man. It is a blend of R&B and blues. Feels good and sounds good too.
Uploaded
I became fed up with all the half truths and lies that the nationw was told by Bush Jr. and had to put my frustrations to music. The feel of this is New Orleans Blues.
Uploaded
This is a jump blues feel that's fun to listen to.
Uploaded
This is a John Lee Hooker feel that is fun to dance to.

This is a heavy, dirty shuffle that I wrote after reading some pretty heavy stuff about the poor in the US.

I had a falling out with a long time friend when I wrote this song. It has a Ray Charles/Aretha Franklin gospel/blues feel.
Uploaded
This song is has an old school blues medium shuffle feel.

I wrote this song for a singer that used to be with the band. After you listen to it, you'll get a good feel for her. This is a Delta Blues feel.
Uploaded
This is a gospel blues feel that evokes the emotion of the title.
Uploaded
This has a Delta/Muddy Waters feel to it and it was fun to record. The E stands for my daughter's name Ehlona and the A for my wife's name Amy and both the song and my home feel a bit like a train.
Uploaded
I wrote this song for my cousin. She has had a lot of problems in her life and I still worry about her.
Uploaded
My bass player at the time really loved thick women and so I wrote him a song. It's him singing on this one.
Uploaded
This is the first version of the song we recorded with our original singer.
Uploaded
This song was written by the bass player and is a massage for the ears. This has a jazz/blues feel.
Uploaded
This is a John Lee Hooker feel that we just jammed on in the studio. I don't really like Gritz that much but the name seemed to fit.
Uploaded
This is the title track of this album. I wrote it about a girlfriend my friend had at the time. She was a bit of a gold digger. This is a shuffle with a Luther Allison feel.

This has got that southern blues thing going on.

I know, I know, this one is so unlike all my other stuff. It's hard to believe a raggedy road warrior has this kind of thing in him, but, it's true. I used to wander the wild lands of the west, the red buttes and the lonesome peaks. In my dreams…

Late night, last piece from a Himitsu session. Very laid back. All electronic. Recorded on minidisc and rescued later from a random hard drive.

A pop song without the 'ular' about the struggle of the addict and the feeling of obsession.

Sometimes a tune pops up right to left field. This is one of em! I backed it up with a stand-up bass track which I was intending to re-record before RPM submission but ran outta time.

She Didn’t Know- So, someone I know got totally screwed over. The worst part was that her friends knew but didn’t tell her what was happening. I am not sure she will love the fact I wrote a song about it, but that is the least of her worries right…

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…
