Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!
Am so behind on my listens!! This is a complete treat - from the opening beats [banging on your guitar??] to the sublime guitar [played proper], just lovely.
would fav it twice if possible. I am a sucker for acoustic guitar percs. The guitar has some unmistakable Hawaii flav. too..I might have to break out endless summer now...
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…
With his lottery money Reg has invested in becoming a funk star. The other reg came up with the tune and Reg jumped all over the thing......come and get funky with thetwoReg

-Lyrics-
A simple mind
not evil or unkind
had lost it's sight
of anything but it's spot in the night
the words should have been unsaid
what they did can't be undone…
Faith is assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
When Faith goes to the market, it always takes a basket.
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith and the beginning of faith is the end of anxiety. [George Mueller…
This is a collab tune which was originally written by Tad Rees (aka Solo). He plays the Keyboard.synth, and I did the guitar and drums. The last half blends with his original which can be heard in completion at :

Well, this is a single minute of music around this wonderfull 'Angel Eyes' song. I hope you like and/or enjoy this miniature. Have a great 2011 alonetoners!
This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
Comments on Rick Phillips's stuff
I love it. Do you guys know about Joe Craven? I think Norm would find him very interesting.
Nice guitar work there.
I like it. Makes me feel like a swamp monster is about to grab me.
When you can bang, pick, and set yourself on fire, then you've got a killer act. ;) I enjoyed this. Made me feel all gritty and stuff.
Am so behind on my listens!! This is a complete treat - from the opening beats [banging on your guitar??] to the sublime guitar [played proper], just lovely.
Great work! Tight playing......
i'm packing and getting out of the way of this nice raw jam
could listen to this all night if i had the time niceee!
would fav it twice if possible. I am a sucker for acoustic guitar percs. The guitar has some unmistakable Hawaii flav. too..I might have to break out endless summer now...

Pretty cool man, i like how you were able to mix the guitarcussion down so it's not to loud!
Super! Nice rithm Rick!
Very cool Rick! I've often thought of doing percussion tracks like this, but have never gotten around to it as yet
Yeah, like it. Has the atmosphere of being impromptu and natural.
Not as clever or as good as you Norm! But fun :)
