Heres the second Collab i've done with the talented Billy Jack.........
HARD DRIVE HOME
the clouds form
the sun has gone
the rain begins to falls
what was it
what did it i do
what turned our love into stone
what makes me listen to the love songs…
I heard a story in the title so here it is with the excellent guitar by Jim Movement with contact ....hope you enjoy......
The Fisherman and the Wave (Lyrics)
Hush little child go back to sleep
Daddy will be back real soon
Hush little child go…
The last one for the day....what can i say it had to be done.....
Broken Dreams(Lyrics)
We’ve all had dreams broken
we’ve all wanted the absurd
i dream of being loved again
to hold and not let go
i’ve been waiting for a long time
to try and…

The instrumental on its own didn't grab me (sorry MTC! It was mighty fine but it didn't move me). But this... wow, not only does it work like this - very well - it makes sense of the original instrumental for me.
Fine FINE work chaps.

I was listening to Jims beautiful instrumental and it struck a chord ...so here it is Thanks Jim.....
Shadow of a man (Lyrics)
As i look in the water i see a reflection of what i was
i see the strong man who could have done what ever he wants…
This works :-)
I'm still very fond of the original instrumental, so I was a bit worried what might have happened. But no, no need to have worried... this is great. Obviously the focus is on the vocal instead of the fantastic guitars, but I like the contrast in the styles of the two of you. And great lyrics.
Nice work chaps!

Around & Around (Lyrics)
Now you are my lady and i’ll never understand why you had to runaround with that other man
you know you’d send me crazy you know that i’m not sound when you leave me…
NO! NO NO NO!
Reg, in western Kansas, where I was raised, if a coyote killed a calf, we would put cyanide into it's carcass in hopes that the coyote would return to feed again. That's how you could tell a smart coyote from a dumb one. You would never see the smart one again. The dumb ones would be found next to the carcass.
My point is, if you are in anyway contemplating reuniting with Desiree, remember this story.

from the album "the Machine"
it's hard without a heart
pretending to care
watching with greed and spite
you're unaware
you'll never see the ghost inside the machine
you're weak and all alone
that's why you fail
programmed to fix the…
A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…

with this song-- in audacity --- the seven parts are all layered --- I cut a selection of 8minutes 20secs in and then using the time shift tool I slide the each of the 7 parts of this…
So, what do you think... could it use more wah-wah?
This was written for the 2014 RPM Challenge. The chromatic thing at the beginning had been rattling around in my head for years and years but had never found a home.
The lyrics here…
I’ve seen you crash back down into the ash
Like an inverted Phoenix
So delectable yet totally ineffectual
Those intellectual verbal tricks
I’ve tried to save ya from your bad behaviour
And keep you safe within the mix
I’ve been here to…
The acoustic sounds stunning ..excellent lyrics ..you managed to get the word astronomical in a song you set the bench high....poor Lydia... a beautiful song well performed ...piepod bound
The first song completed for the second round of re-recorded Quarantine Tunes. This one was written on the last day of the 2016 RPM Challenge. I had written a bunch of songs saying that people who think the Earth is flat are somehow defective…
This is a love song for Idaho. Funny thing is I've never even been to Idaho, but I dreamed the chorus and the happy little riff some years ago, and it's stuck with me ever since. So, I filled it in with some verses and an outro that capture the…
So, this is completely different!! In a homage to my favourite place to watch live music in the land...Ronnie Scotts....I have put together a groovin' jazz instrumental piece with a 'live' feel....!! Not really fusion as such, but added to the…
A silly, sort of dreamlike / lullaby-ish tune, about weird travels on a bubble-gum balloon.
Lyrics:
See one time I was chewing bubble gum and it was mighty fine
I blew a bubble so big it took me up into the sky
So this is the story of where…
Some blues/boogie fun.
Ain’t no fun
It's a well known fact
When you’re with the wrong woman
And caught in the act
Sworn to secrecy
We even made a pact
But didn’t matter
We were caught in the act
Been watched and followed
Traced…
Caught this one this morning got the blood pumping loving that harp well in fact loving the whole thing the interplay between piano guitar and that wonderful harp
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
I feel I should donate something as I've recently downloaded all of your alone-tone catalogue and must say I've been O-D ing on you most of the afternoon and I haven't come across a bad track yet (there's got be one surely where you suck and its badly recorded.... go on put one up for us mere mortals where we can say " Well he's not perfect is he?") love your work Bravo and Thank you
Comments on thetworegs's stuff
Superb music and a heartfelt performance too. great track guys.
Great track mate
I missed this, how did I miss it? Fabulous!

you pull me in,, sweeping me away,,,i drift along your vocal pictures floating in my mind, what a wonderful colab!! i am most amazed!!
That is one killer addition, lyrics and story are perfect.... F A V E D
This works :-) I'm still very fond of the original instrumental, so I was a bit worried what might have happened. But no, no need to have worried... this is great.

Absolutely charming!
You're an effortless lyricist...absolutely wonderful collab.
Great collab dudes.
It's a classic!
What an addition!! Seriously good Mr. Regs.
NO! NO NO NO! Reg, in western Kansas, where I was raised, if a coyote killed a calf, we would put cyanide into it's carcass in hopes that the coyote would return to feed again.

Classic Reg! Fantastic voice; the pain of love.
Dynamic collaboration!
I love this!! excellent!
Very refreshing presentation. I like the message "All I needs is love". Reminds me of one of my heros . . . Tom Waites.
What a voice - love it!
Nice one mate
Tom Watts meets Louis Armstrong.I like it,

There's deep down Blues in that harp and slide ... it was good but its better now .... Ray you've worked his magic again
That’s was a hallowe’en special while having the morning coffee
That was a mystic ride
that acoustic sounds soft and smooth just like the blues being sung ....
it's getting late here ...but this put some pep in Me
Works for me too and so true ..
I agree with Andrew that Wah is fab great song too
The acoustic sounds stunning ..excellent lyrics ..you managed to get the word astronomical in a song you set the bench high....poor Lydia... a beautiful song well performed ...piepod bound

I think I love Idaho too and I’ve never been either
Sublime ...wish I was at Ronnies that night
that whispered vocal feels very personal nice rhythm on the guitar mesmerizing track
It’s a foot tapping morning already and I’ve only been awake 10mins ... ooh yeah!!
