Paul Lennon and I got our "Irish up" after our last collaboration and did one more to share with everyone. Hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day! Here are the lyrics: The Land We Call Tara © 2015 Lyrics - Colleen Dillon, Music…

Ambient, building electric guitar instrumental, something like a cross between the late great Gary Moore and some softer stuff by Allan Holdsworth. Imagine your spacecraft nearing a black hole, and the strain it puts on your vessel. Then, as…

Morning Glow End of the line Ahead of me just loneliness Scanning the horizon - only emptiness Losing heart for a while As the twilight’s rolling in Getting caught between the darkness and despair Used to never fail Used to find a…

I liked this one a lot more before realizing (after all of the tracks were finished) that the guitar part is awfully similar to a Throwing Muses song from the brilliant House Tornado album. My plan to double all rhythm guitar and vocal parts…

With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris! Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :) http://alonetone…

Piano Numbers

Not quite sure what I was going for musically with this one. It was just a couple of off the top of the head ideas. Not a lot of thought or planning. The lyrics are an Florida Man story about a guy who called 9-1-1 to ask for a ride to the…

Now that my album Texas Tonefreak is almost "out of print", I'll be posting the tracks up here. Kip Siewert on harmonica Philip Waite on drums me on everything else http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kavin

its a nice Jam from me, while heading down for a show so i went down to the studio to make this, thanks for your love fans... #teamfreshmoney

As I was finishing up the March and April music project thingies back in the end of May I acted silly and wrote an extra song. This is that song. Just a dopey 12-bar blues that was really just an excuse to write something on my new Stratocaster…

ambient but not too long...

Another Psychedelic Sea Shanty. This one follows a Fox Trot beat. I didn’t have a mic screen when I recorded the vocal tracks – my voice is piercing at moments. Hope you are nonetheless able to enjoy the mix-down. Pan flute by Starry Nightmoth…

Be still and know that "I Am."

winters are meaningless...or something.

I was listening to the two Jack Bruce/Robin Trower records from 1981. I was sort of digging the whole aging-white-guys-making-a-show-of-being-funky vibe and decided to steal it. The result is this cheese ball of a 12-bar. In GarageBand…

*Here’s another one* Verse 1: I beat myself up ‘cause rap We cuss, I don’t care about that Coping mechanism, coping medicine so obsession will hook me since I was in high school, I listened to rappers buzzing I moved myself too because…

A little more somber than the original .......to say the least.......with the world band backing Reg....

This is an old song that I wrote a few years ago. I noticed it on my iPod this morning and thought it was fun to hear it again.

First song of the New Year.

* Was slightly over-compressed. Now updated for (I hope) a better version.

i always wanted to do a version of i am the walrus. i did not include the radio part in the middle, nor all the king lear quotes uttered. but i did use most of the strings they used for effect. this is a kind of prog - psyche - hard rock…

Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.

track 2 of last days last days...

We’re closed now Keep off My land The plains turn to sand That’s what the wire said I hear trains coming Smoke in the sky Lines in the sand That’s what the wire said Ghosts of voices Chant numbers and code Steel lines in the sand…

Walking alone in late February Thinking on friends I’d lost John and Sean and Christopher Ryan, Ian, and Mark Some of them fell to fever and drink Some to women or song One of them made it to the good life But all of them are gone All…

This a prayer about St. Anthony of Padua by St. Bonaventure. Anthony is my middle name, named after this great saint.

A view on ghosts. Used my tenor recorder, guitars, and bass. Bizarre how once song writing starts, it seems to write itself. Hope you like.
