Robert James's listening history
This is an early favorite for the "stand out track" title. I like the groove quite a bit. Although I was literally falling asleep while mixing it so who knows if it sounds okay or not.

I've got a handful of songs from the 2009-2011 RPM projects that I've been wanting to re-record and update. I over cooked this one a little. The rhythm guitars, both electric and acoustic, and the vocal are all doubled. I had a hard time fitting…
