We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
With lovely Keith Landry. Unfortunately, the studio I had at the time was on its last legs and the recording is a terrible quality, but I've never been able to get the vocal to sound better. Probably because I'm now over the awful thing* I did…

I love hearing these songs from previous RPM years. This one is really amazing. The backing music so perfectly done to match your beautiful and haunting vocals. Wow!

A quite 'straight ahead' rock feel to this at the beginning. The Rickenfaker bass has a lovely fat sound to it... Then it gets anthem-like from 2:45 onwards

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth

Home from work for 9 days. How is everyone doing? Stay safe and have fun on this weird global time off! got a new FX peddle , super octave, that im using here instead of a bass guitar.
Enjoy! Reef
This is a recording from my i phone off my back deck at home in Mill Valley tonight. Everyone howls at 8 pm for 1 minute in solidarity for the healthcare providers during this pandemic with COVID 19. its been going on for over 2 weeks now…

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
This is bathed in reverb... probably too much! It's got a bit of a Southern Rock vibe at 1:00 to 1:45- then it has a big 'glow-stick Prog Rock' ending to it
This one came solely as the chorus melody and the basic hook "So I'll sing my song for Carolina" It's all I had for months, but I thought it was a good chorus line so I kept humming it to see if it would sprout further ideas. The mid section is…
This one started as the verse chords and some rambling vox melody. My demo of just gtr and me mumbling resulted in something vaguely Lennon-esque in delivery, so I kept that aspect and took it further for the mid section. The harmonies in the…
This one started as the piano piece. I was messing around and thought it had a vaguely Eddie Harris sounding vibe from Plug Me In (which is a killer record, absolutely killer). Anyway, I decided to develop it, since it sounds a little different…
A total gtr inspired tune. The riff came first and I knew it needed thunderous drums. The rest fell into place. I envisioned this one being very Top of The Pops on a Saturday in 1971, or Granada TV in summer of' 70, depending on your point of…
I have never written a song about the RPM Challenge itself, until now. Have we really been here for 15 years? It needed to be fun, it needed to be a great dance number. I had the gtr riff, and realized it would be even better as a horn line. The…
I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals.

Great tune! Love it ❤️
I think the recording has a haunting authenticity to it - it wouldn't sound the same with crispy production. Gorgeous song 🤗
Heard this on friday as a guest nice nice...Your voice always wonders for me...beautiful as always.
Old school SV:) faved:)

Gorgeous
I've just clicked who you remind me of ..... Julia Fordham ......
That is just ...... STUNNING ....
Boy, does that do it for me ...
Ooo fretless bass!
This is lovely 😊
Beautiful Tess. Beautiful vocals too. Loving the backing vocals too x
Lovely track! Enjoyed the uke and the lovely vocals and lyrics.
HAH I NOW FIND I AM A 3 GENERATION FAN...........FREE AND UN COMPLICATED SWINGY GOODNESS
Super catchy and a wonderful voice!
Super charming and cute new sounds for the family :)
This is so sweet and beautiful! Sounds like you had a dream family month.
Well that blew my socks off! I hope your other nine songs aren't as cool, otherwise I'm going to get very cold feet :)
She is just super cool!
Great job Jasmine! 👏
Comments made by Sister Savage
Awesome full sound! (Looking forward to some of these with your fab vox!)
Amazing lyrics - an incredibly bittersweet tribute...
Love that bass riff! It deserved a track around it like a cloak.
Another beaut! This album is one of the best things to come out of Isolation 2020.
Cool stuff, Reef.
<3
Horray! It still works!!!!!!!!!!!! Lovely to hear you again, my friend. :) Hope this is the start of some fabulous new upload frenzy.
Here we go! Welcome to Alonetone, Matt! Love this track - breezy, open air feel - just what I need during this lockdown.
Watch out, the funk has landed and it *is* joyful!
That's three generations of us who love your stuff. Molly (13) is the latest.
Whole album - m a s t e r p i e c e.
Another one for the car playlist!
*flame in the air*
"The harmonies in the chorus were fun to record..." and absolutely wonderful to hear. Picking up your Lennon shades here too - very cool!
Great funky, loose groove. Love the cheeky percs in the bridge.
Love the way this one kind of slinks along. Sounds like an absolute classic on the first listen. Fantastic, Gary!
AMEN!
Still brilliant.
Wonderful song - awesome performance.
Hey, where did the video go? Giving this album a whirl again - still one of my faves.
