This Lonely Night This Lonely Night
This is my first attempt at an out and out country style song. Hopefully I mean that in the Bruce Springsteen country style rather than Dolly Parton. The song describes a long lonely night of anguish over a tragic fight. Enjoy...
The Man In Me The Man In Me
A gentle acoustic song that accelerates throughout to a slightly rockier finale. It is really a song about finding your true self in unusual (although hardly unpleasant) circumstances.
Can't Find My Way Home Can't Find My Way Home
A bluegrass Neil Young-ish feel to this song about what we English call Tramps and the Americans call Hobo's. This one was played on the www.homemadehitshow.com podcast and reviewed kindly.
The Stars The Stars
This is a subdued and thoughtful ballad about recovering a sense of proper perspective after suffering a loss. This song was played on the homemadehitshow.com podcast HMHS 120 and was favourably reviewed.
Together Together
A soft feel good Latin-Rock song with the theme of being really together with your partner.
Kathleen and the Silver Screen Kathleen and the Silver Screen
This is a song charting the life story of a girl and her relationship with the silver screen. It was submitted to the homemadehitshow.com Thanksgiving song competition. I hope someone enjoys it.
Cold, Cold Hearted Woman Cold, Cold Hearted Woman
This is a straightforward acoustic song about being left by your woman.
You Gotta Place You Gotta Place
This song is a kind of cross between a soul and a latin number that emerged from some experiments in mixing rythms from my Band In a Box software in order to create more variety in the backing. The song itself is about the stages of any relationship

This is a guitar rag that was done as a piece of fun. The backing is kept fairly basic as the words and guitar are the thing. Lyrics are very non PC but of course I claim that I am only following the rag traditions, I'm not bad I'm just striving fo
Insincere Insincere
This song is a deceit, hence the title. I don't want to say too much more in order not to spoil the ending. Suffice it to say it is not what it seems but you must wait until the end to see why...
With My 44 Special With My 44 Special
Well this is a straight blues in the style of Robert Johnson. In fact it is very similar to 'Kind Hearted Woman' but I wanted some fresh lyrics.
