I really liked your singing style on this recording. This song seems like a good follow up to vAMpiReBLUEeS. These are both so laid back southern, I feel like I need to swat some flies. I hope you're still checkin in here at alonetone. I'd like to talk more.
enjoyed the groove and the natural vibe.
felt like i was sitting in on a jam on some porch down south, surrounded by some swamps.
the whispered backup was very intriguing.
thanks for the little trip. :)
coffee shop song...

The song starts like a train from a station...
and then...that bluesy harp, takes you away!
Into the night...is it a dream?
No!...it's a GREAT song!!
Very well done Michael!
I strapped on my acoustic and had a go with this great song. Recorded in one go straight into my Boss microBR built in mic. No fussing around wit this one.

Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
I wrote and recorded this song about five years ago. All vocals are mine. I would like to redo this song and change a few of the lyrics...but here it is in its current incarnation.

We cling to the edge of sanity one falls as the other holds on
We devour our own stabilities and pass the blame like a hot baton
And the more we try to insulate the deeper that we crawl
The threshold…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
really like this song...love the first verse especially...and I like how you string out "I" in the beginning of the chorus...I say you made a fine song in one day...good to meet You...

This is a tune I picked up from alonetone a while back. Johnny did a piano version of "I'd Love to Change the World", and Michael Thomas from Cave Street added the outstanding vocals.
When Michael told me he was doing the vox on it, I wanted…
This is a Ralph Mctell song , a very underated British singer / songwriter , probably famous for one song , The Streets of London , but in fact wrote many great songs , he wrote this while working on a building site before he was signed by a record…
