Taken from a legendary show at the now-defuct At The Hop nightclub and restaurant, this recording features Bruce Forr on vocals. Originally an early hit for Little Jimmy Dickens, it's always a crowd-pleaser, and a lot of fun to play!
Mama Corn is popular with several distinct audience types. Fully capable of pleasing the most finicky traditional audience with favorites from Flatt & Scruggs, The Stanley Bros, and Bill Monroe, the band is also very popular with Americana…
Featuring Brad Floyd on mandolin, this is one of those songs we never really "learned," we just "did." Mama Corn often attempts something onstage that we've never even tried at rehearsal, and sometimes, it turns out nice.
Written by John Stevens, Grieving Old Man is the lead-off track on Mama Corn's debut CD. A tale of unrequited love, the song's upbeat melody and catchy chorus make it one of those songs that stick in your head long after you've heard it.

This rough track uses my Blue Just Tuning system (go to www.johnsmusic7.com for details and a photo of the guitar). This is the same tuning Chris Vaisvil used in his Excluded By Peers piece. I hope to add some lead to the track soon.
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 :

There's a lot going on here, in the middle section I used what's known as a Shepard Risset Tone. This is a sound that appears to constantly rise in pitch. If you were to loop the sound, it would never stop rising! I don't understand the match…
Summer Reign, with Laura Orshaw singing the vocals. This group is very talented and have started getting their name out there on the festival circuit. Mid-Atlantic festival/event organizers, this performer will give your crowd their money's worth…

Love the spacey echo & verb on the intro. It sounds like an LP record!
Nicely Beatlesque. I hear an ELO vibe, too. Well-crafted and bouncy!
I see why you get so many listens. Excellent.
Wonderful poetic lyric. I'd edit the beginning, the stuff before the music starts is a little distracting. Very nice, it reminds me of Jason Mraz.
Also very groovy, you need a band, my friend.
Get this to full-band status soon! I'd crawl all over this with blues harmonica. Very groovy!
Beautiful and ethereal, wonderful vocal, but a bit long getting to it. Excellent listening for a snowy Saturday afternoon.
I really like this... I'm going to download it and play it through the PA at our gigs here in Pennsylvania, if it's okay with you.
Yeah! Love the big banjo sound. I'd pick with this band anytime.
Have I heard this before? Is it a cover? Very cool!
This is a hit, right here.
This is more like it! Love the horn!
Nice drums, love the auto-wah guitars.
Best blues band I've heard on alonetone! These guys get it.
I like it, sounds like a theme to a TV show.
Liked this one from the opening notes. Tightly arranged and executed. Well done!
I was stage left for this recording! I remember it!
