Alternate version of a sweet little song that Margaret, Kenny, and I (Kevin) recorded for a different recording project. We re-recorded the acoustic instruments for the "real" version, so I used the original live-off-the-floor guitar and bass…

A catchy tale of love gone wrong. Kenny Tannehill - lyrics, arrangement, vocals, acoustic guitar Dan Hollands - electric guitar Mike Anders - Italian kiss-offs Kevin Craig - recording, drums, bass, mixing Get Out Of Here (Arrivederci…

Mike’s sweet meditation on the fleeting intersection of two phases of life. Mike Anders - songwriting, lyrics, vocals, guitar John “JD” Di Dio - harmonica Margaret Bibb - background vocals Kevin Craig - bass, recording, mixing Through…

Yet another casserole thrown together at the last minute! Added a homebrewed percussion loop and some Hainbach drum loops to the second half of a guitar and bass jam that Dan and Kevin had recorded previously, then ran all that through some AudioThing…

Some of the Collective got together at the studio on the last Saturday in April (the first chance we'd had that month!) to record some stuff. After putting down some tracks with the group for another song, Dan and I (Kevin) jammed to a click track…

Initial take for Mike's song. Not too bad for the first run-through. Mike Anders - songwriting, lyrics, vocals, guitar John "JD" Di Dio - harmonica Kevin Craig - bass, recording, mixing

Toward the end of the month, I (Kevin) got a wild hair to try something silly with Robbie’s sweet little acoustic ditty about the cycle of the seasons, which lets us end the album on a sweet and hopeful note. Hope you like it! Robbie Robinson…

Everything was recorded live off the floor except the harmony vocal track, which was added a couple of weeks later. Margaret Bibb – lyrics, songwriting, vocals Robbie Robinson – guitar Kevin Craig – recording, bass, mixing These Old Boots…

Another lovely Monroe/Robinson collaboration. This one was recorded piecemeal across the whole month of February 2024, with Robbie adding the guitar lead on 2/29 while I (Kevin) was doing the final(-ish) mixes! Leum Monroe – lyrics Robbie…

This short track also spawned from Robbie’s “E Rock Jam”, though in a more roundabout way than Sugar Free Jam earlier on the album. On 2/17, we recorded John’s drum tracks for the full 5-minute song, then got a take of Cody playing keys along…

This one was kind of a scatter-shot collaboration. Robbie was playing around with the guitar riff before band practice one night, so Kenny and I (Kevin) joined in on vocals and drums, respectively. Robbie recorded that jam, then fleshed out the…

Another Monroe-Robinson collaboration. So glad Kenny brought those two together a few years ago! As with a few other tracks this time around, Robbie recorded his parts on his own, then we replaced the canned GarageBand drum loops with actual…

The idea for this one came to Margaret as she was walking to the studio for band practice one night, and we’re glad it did! Margaret, Robbie, and I (Kevin) recorded the main takes together live off the floor during our usual band practice timeslot…

Robbie put together a 5-minute track (“E Rock Jam”) that was meant to feature a bunch of guitar leads from various folks and maybe some vocals, but the timing never quite worked out to get those laid down. We did, however, record some of John…

This one was quite a journey! Robbie recorded the main guitar parts and a couple of vocal takes on his own, then invited the group to come up with additional parts. On 2/17, after we’d finished up recording a bunch of other stuff (including…

Just Leum and an acoustic guitar. Sometimes, that’s all you need. :) Leum Monroe – lyrics, songwriting, vocals, guitar Kevin Craig – recording, mixing Our Surprise by Leum Monroe Would I stand near the ocean just to hear your cry…

Robbie’s ode to a favorite vacation destination on the Gulf of Mexico. Robbie Robinson – lyrics, songwriting, vocals, guitars, bass, recording, arrangement Kenny Tannehill – background vocals Margaret Bibb – background vocals Kevin Craig…

As February and the RPM Challenge approached, Margaret was surprised to find herself gravitating toward country music this time around, but she rolled with it and finished the lyrics in time for us to lay down some scratch tracks on 2/10. Over…

MIDI bass, drum loops, and electronic noises layered under an improvised guitar track from another project. Dan Hollands - guitar Kevin Craig - recording, arrangement, mixing
