The Shady Bunch The Shady Bunch
A modern age Brady Bunch. Wish I can say this isn't true.
Tomorrow Never Knows Part 3 Tomorrow Never Knows Part 3
She's Mine She's Mine
Lots of stingy guitar in this one. Reminds me of Albert Collins.
Jumping At Shadows Jumping At Shadows
This is a Duster Bennett song best known by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac around 1970, back when they were an incredible blues band. One of my favorite guitarists.
Second Best Second Best
Never written anything remotely positive so this is a change. I kind of like the bitter sardonic stuff better. This was supposed to be an Allman Brothers type instrumental but threw some words together after I recorded it.
YMCA YMCA
Couldnt resist recording this one. Pretty hard to sing this without laughing. This is in 6/8 time and reminds me a bit of 50's doo-wop stuff without the doo-wops.
Lay Me Down Lay Me Down
This one is a bit eerie. Wrote this sitting on my porch at my old house awhile ago along with a hundred others. It was supposed to be a solo acoustic thing but I ended up adding things as usual. Still have yet to do anything solo. This isn't folk bu
Jimmy Alabam Jimmy Alabam
Here is a stompy thing with my steel bodied, bongos and shakers, and a bunch of background vocals. I tried to get that Stagger Lee bad man folklore vibe which used to be popular in Blues decades ago.
Hummingbird Hummingbird
Here is a Leon Russel tune made popular by BB King. I cant tell if this is any good but I am posting it anyway. I cant sing this the way I want but that is the way that goes.
Dueling Banjos (Theme From Deliverance) Dueling Banjos (Theme From Deliverance)
No banjos in this one. I have always liked this song since seeing the movie for the first time way back so I redid it with electric stuff and a bunch of slide.
Tomorrow Never Knows Part 2 Tomorrow Never Knows Part 2
A continuation of the other Tomorrow Never Knows I posted. The jazziest thing I have done with 5/4 and 7/4 times and some funky key changes. Part 1: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?band
Bad Love Bad Love
Here is a quick and dirty blues. Didn't spend much time on this one, pretty much one take per instrument. Still have some things I will be redoing
Hardtimes Hardtimes
Another Ray Charles classic. Probably my favorite Ray tune. Can't do his singing justice.
She Aint Good Lookin' She Aint Good Lookin'
Loastandfound Loastandfound
Bit of a ridiculous funky rock thing here. Not much to elaborate.

The Dream The Dream
This is probably the fastest I can play without a pick. I gave up using a pick at least 15 years ago and rarely use one now. This is another one with Liquid Horns. No deep content with this one. Just a song about dreaming and getting woken up
