If They Could Put You in Jail for Dreaming If They Could Put You in Jail for Dreaming
As lazy as a jailhouse nap... as wistful as a parting kiss on visiting day. And just about as pathetic...
Dog Catching Flying Saucer Dog Catching Flying Saucer
INSTRUMENTAL. A naive romp through another perfect day, a long, long time ago. Driven by a trio of acoustic guitars, this folk rock instrumental was originally released by OBN mastermind TK Major.
Pretty Little Head Pretty Little Head
Vocal and guitar; the guitar part is a sort of an unconscious tribute to Brit folk guitar great John Renbourn. (Best known as one of the two guitarists in UK jazz-folk outfit, Pentangle.) (AYoS 2006-10-29)
Too Much Trouble Christine Too Much Trouble Christine
Mandolins, acoustic guitar, and the sound of standup bass belie the fact that this song evolved from a three chord (actually four but, you know, terms of art and all that) punkish rocker. Reached # 18 SC Alt-Country chart under one blue nine.
A Girl Named October (acoustic) A Girl Named October (acoustic)
An acoustic version of the ballad. (Part of my podcast project 'A Year of Songs.' (www.AYearOfSongs.org) Actually the very first song of the entire project.
She's Got Eyes Just Like a China Doll She's Got Eyes Just Like a China Doll
Intended as a songwriter demo, this country rocker has developed a small, but limited -- er, loyal -- following.
Lyin' Cheatin' Baby Daddy Dog Little Boy Lyin' Cheatin' Baby Daddy Dog Little Boy
Ripped from the headlines of the day! An ode to integrity and personal responsibility. Or, more properly, the lack thereof. (Warning: it sounds just like the f-word is used in this song in the context of 'fouled up.') Informal, acoustic, mandolin.
Kingdom of Fools (acoustic) Kingdom of Fools (acoustic)
Solo acoustic guitar and vocal recorded during practice for a benefit for storm victims. (Part of OBN mastermind TK Major's podcast project 'A Year of Songs.' (www.AYearOfSongs.org)
Mountains Come, Mountains Go Mountains Come, Mountains Go
A song of love and sudden loss.
Gospel of Greed Gospel of Greed
Have ya tried to shove a camel through the eye of a needle lately? Hard as getting a Humvee in a parking space designed for a Hyundai. (Mathew 19:24)
Losing Lisa Losing Lisa
Some hard rocking roots rock with my buddy, Caz Camberline smokin' away on lead guitars.
All I Need Is the Sun (Acoustic) All I Need Is the Sun (Acoustic)
Acoustic guitar and vocal about a guy who used to be somebody once. Or so he says. A highly informal solo recording from my www.AYearOfSongs.org blog/podcast.
She'd Be Mine She'd Be Mine
Vocal and guitar with additional guitar. A gentle song about the sadness of being wised up. (AYoS 2006-03-02)
This Used to Be America This Used to Be America
A little protest song about how far astray the USA has gone... This track reached # 23 on the SC Other Alternative charts under my band name, one blue nine.
13th Bar Blues 13th Bar Blues
Acoustic funk jam with wiseguy lyrics. Percussion by Kurt Schnyder.
I Just Started to Cry I Just Started to Cry
'This song started out as a sort of alt-country/bluegrass thing in my mind back in '91 when I wrote it, but this version was a goof, sort of acoustic funk. Kinda sloppy acoustic funk.' -TK (AYoS 2006-08-15)
A Thousand Lies (Bridge to Nowhere) A Thousand Lies (Bridge to Nowhere)
A little bit o' the old agitprop... see if you can spot the current events (fall 2008) references... Quiz on Monday.
Rainy Day on Temple Ave Rainy Day on Temple Ave
Sneak preview/songwriter demo... but, frankly, I think we're talking b-side, here. Are we virtualized enough to sustatin a c-side?
