I recorded this one to a dimming flashlight on the 25th after a windstorm took out my power. I couldn't see the lyrics anymore so I ad libbed and hummed the rest out. My recording device is battery operated, which is cool. This predicament…

Neuro-esque dubstep

from the album the feel good album of the year http://emorej.bandcamp.com/album/the-feel-good-album-of-the-year

Cover of Jahn's "Retained Lives" off his 2010 RPM submission. I hope I did it justice.

This song blends rock and funk.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a fun Dick Dale surf feel.

I recently bought the Imperfect Samples [Braunschweig Upright](http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/braunschweig/braunschweiguprightpiano.php) (Pro) sampled piano for Kontakt after falling in love with the sound of the demos. I have…

This is a jump blues feel that's fun to listen to.

This is a slow Aretha Franklin style blues.

This is a John Lee Hooker feel that is fun to dance to.

This song changes from jump blues to shuffle

This is a smooth R&B feel that I wrote for my wife. This one's for the lovers.

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

This song is has an old school blues medium shuffle feel.

This is a jump blues instrumental.

This is a gospel blues feel that evokes the emotion of the title.

I was thinking about people who live in run down hotels when I wrote this song and had been listening to alot of Robert Cray at the time.

This is a jump blues with a surprise twist.

This is a minor blues about a hard breakup in the vein of Luther Allison.

This is one of the first funk tunes I wrote.

This is a hard shuffle.

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.

I wrote this song for my cousin. She has had a lot of problems in her life and I still worry about her.

My bass player at the time really loved thick women and so I wrote him a song. It's him singing on this one.

This is a instrumental shuffle.

I wrote this for a friend of mine and every word is true. You should meet her.

This is the first version of the song we recorded with our original singer.

This song has a rock element and a latin jam at the end.

This is a Texas shuffle.

This song was written by the bass player and is a massage for the ears. This has a jazz/blues feel.

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.

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 wanted to write a tradional blues with just accoustic guitar and so here it is. I think most people have that one person they wish they wouldn't of left or would of asked out. I know I do.

This is a nice T Bone Walker shuffle feel. This song, like all our albums, feature Rob Waters from the Lonnie Brooks Band.
