FDP Jams
02.) Roll Daddy Roll 02.) Roll Daddy Roll
Rockit! placed this great funk jam up at the FDP and after watching 'The Punisher' movie last night it must have inspired these lyrics. My wife joins in on the fun.
I'm Taking the Mother Road (to the Mother Lode) I'm Taking the Mother Road (to the Mother Lode)
Song idea from combining Scott C's "Mother Road" and Tony A's "Mother Lode" tunes.
07.) Walkin' Never Bothered Me 07.) Walkin' Never Bothered Me
Swing country tune with pedal steel and fiddle thrown in.
Angels In The Room / Angels In The Room /
Here is a phenomenal song by Louis Twinn -- He has a new fuller production of this out there somewhere, I hope it goes somewhere good.
Here (plus and minus) Here (plus and minus)
Great song by "girl named sam" over at RPM -- I added bass and electric guitar to it.
10.) Wednesday Type of Girl 10.) Wednesday Type of Girl
My First FAWM 2008 song -- finally recorded it. Still sort of a rough work tape. New: Added percussion from the Roland SPD-20.
10.) Take Me Where You're Going 10.) Take Me Where You're Going
Kavin on guitar and Darrin Kobetich on mandolin laid down this great 'D Jam'. I added lyrics, harp and knee slaps to it.
Movie In My Head Movie In My Head
Randomly assigned collab with Devin at FAWM. This is what we came up with! Worked out well, I think.
Something Wrong With My Heart Something Wrong With My Heart
A new member over a jpfolks.com posted his first lyric and I liked it. I decided to take a crack at the music (and I needed my 30th song!). My first run through of a verse/chorus put the song at about 6 minutes -- so I had to cut.
This is Her Weekend (to watch the dogs) This is Her Weekend (to watch the dogs)
A fellow songwriter wrote that she couldn't go somewhere because she had to watch the dogs. Sounds like a song! While I am awaiting her input on the girl version, I wrote a guy version.
On The Road On The Road
Started out as another bass/guitar/banjo/drums jam. After the first open "G" guitar part, I decided to add lyrics. The music is improvised, so.... Left out the drums and banjo.
There's More Than Just Pain That Hurts There's More Than Just Pain That Hurts
I tried to take a nap one day and this song popped in my head. So I got up and wrote it down. Traditional Country
This is His Weekend (to watch the dogs) This is His Weekend (to watch the dogs)
Tammy graciously accepted the challenge of singing this tune!
Drums, Bass and Banjo in G Drums, Bass and Banjo in G
OK, I've wanted to do a tune where I put down a bass track and then played banjo over it. Ended up grabbing a drum track from BIAB and then added the bass part. Then banjo #1. Added banjo #2 half-way through.
Spring Break Demo (1 minute) Spring Break Demo (1 minute)
Quick demo of new song (1 minute excerpt)
Moon Shot Jam Moon Shot Jam
Great jam from TNuT over at the LPF. I added a couple of guitars and lyrics.
Waiting On A Ring Waiting On A Ring
Try at some "contemporary country" writing. Trying to use different meanings of "ring". Pretty cool co-write (to me).
Yes Yes
One-hour song-skirmish at FAWM -- Write, Record, Post a song in one-hour! Bethan added vocals later on, and then Slap added sax!!
Jesus From Galilee Jesus From Galilee
Inspired from my daughter's district choir thing with guest directors. They did a few religious numbers that were mighty cool. Heck, they even did "John The Revelator"!!
