I'm getting a much better idea of "stoman" listening to tracks one after the other on here.
You have no fear of genres/whatever - write the song, get the right dudes on... job done :-)
Another classy one.

This song was based on a free-form lyric by Grant D. McLeman from Scotland. Quite a challenge ... :)

James is actually a country singer. This was the first time for him to sing a jazzy piano…
He did a fine job (vocal).
I like the relaxed vibe of the track. It's one of those songs that needs a decent performance to bring it out - I think you guys achieved it. Love that organ when it comes in.

The title track. At one point I had visions of everyone singing at the end of the album (and thank you to those of you that did), but I just couldn't get it to sound right (I don't really know what I'm doing after all). So instead of voices…
You could sing the phone book, and I'd probably be amazed.
I hear elements of Garth Brooks, Don McLean, and - of course - a lot of original Keith Landry in this song. Great work, as usual!
Regards,
Steffen
I love this tune, it's a little bitter but still love it :)
i wrote it a couple of years ago, gladly it's here now, i really hope you like it.

My cyber friend Tony Jones , added some keys , percussion and lead , transforming my song into something i couldn't have dreamed of
To the Welsh Wizard , many thanks
The trees turned blue
And the sky outside is yellow
I hear you sigh
While you dream of purple cellos
I don’t in dream in colors baby
nor in black and white
and I can’t tell what’s up or down
or wrong and right
You turned blonde
When I thought…
There was this biker bar called The 2500 Club. Just west of Sylvania on Belknap. On a sign outside it says, "The best little biker bar in Texas." Guthrie and Rick and I played there long enough to get to feeling pretty much like family.
EVERYBODY…
It was about sunrise when I met this guy on the streets of the French Quarter and bought him coffee. I don't know if he's still around -- that was some 20 years ago -- but a two-hour conversation affected my life more than I would have ever known…
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....
This one is called “Stoneâ€...

Frank has turned up at Reg's cellar with Louis and the Duke with a tune that Frank is claiming to be about his latest love affair, so naturally Reg switched on his tape recorder........
The Regs go jazz ... I'm really not much of a jazz fan, but your music is different in a very positive way. So it's no wonder that I do like this song! :)

THE CHILD WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NAME
What remains of an eagle that's fallen
The roots of an oak tree now claim
To draw sap for the shade for the cattle
O're the child with the beautiful name
The law…
I first heard this song yesterday when I was listening to you reading "I bury my dead", and I immediately loved it. I'm sure I would have loved it without hearing the story too, but it sure adds a lot of meaning and depths to it.
Great work, James!
You are the master of minimalism! Great work.
Just one note: The music ends somewhere around 2'50, but the length of the mp3 is 4'48. Wrong locator settings during the audio export?

Works for me. Great track and the vocal just sits there like it should.
I like it. I see what you mean about the vocal take... but I think it adds to it's effect.

This one is stunning
Looooove the celtic music! And again with the incredible vocals!
Another outstanding acoustic guitar track! This might be the best track here, Steffen!
Another fine mellow track. Where are you finding all these incredible vocalists!
Excellent track! Love that vocal from Jessica. Outstanding production quality on this one all around... Really tight arrangement and performance.
So nice and relaxing... A great way to end a long day.
Quite beautiful both musically and lyrically. Full of emotion. Your playing is divine and the vocal performance is sublime.
My word, this is special. Great vocal too!
Oh my, that was lovely!
"The Fall" - an appropriate name
A beautiful vocal....a lovely track
Oh lovely breezy feel! Great ensemble!
Lovely folky song. Very nicely sung and played.
Beautiful the guitar and voice..............
Great sound.... Good voice ...kinda reminds me of a Bond theme or rather it should be one

This is a true gem. Fantastic music! Regards, Steffen
This is what I call root folk: original, rough, authentic. And a great performance. Nice job, Mike! Thanks for sharing. Regards, Steffen

I don't know the original song, but your version is perfect for me. Regards, Steffen
This turned out nicely. Great mix, Diego!
Very nice and relaxing, Rob! Good work, and a great way to start the day.
As pretty as I expected it to be. Your calm, relaxing songs are just perfect after a long day at work. Regards, Steffen
I'm pretty sure this could have become a hit back in the 70s. Great song, James!
Reminds me of an acoustic Nils Lofgren album. Very nice, powerful playing and singing. Your voice is perfect for this music. Regards, Steffen
Very pretty - I love the light mixture of folk and new age. Regards, Steffen

Wonderful! The lo-fi mix adds a very nice authentic touch to it, and the vocal performance is awesome.
You have a pretty voice. Very nice.
Everything has been said already. Great job! Regards, Steffen
Very nice! I think the tempo is just right, and the song is very catchy. Thanks for sharing! Regards, Steffen

Hey, that's an unexpected style from you. Nice old-school (60s) feel.
