A little number I wrote long ago, but re-recorded the past couple of weeks. I am the singer on this one. Mellow song, finger picked guitar and synth. Guitar is my strat.

This is the first real complete collaboration between Nate Rose and myself (Dave Jones), it started with us chatting and saying we’d like to try a “radio” type sounding track and then grew from there…started with a verse-chorus idea then Nate added a bridge idea, some vox and after plenty of back and forward action this is what we have…Would love to hear your feedback and ideas as always…


Radio

This was the first song that I recorded with the singer. He wrote the song and was performing it acoustically when I first heard it. I thought it was catchy and he told me how he heard it in his head, so we recorded what he heard. More wall of sound guitars. This was mixed before my last one, but I needed to hold off on one last part and that was the short guitar solo – I wanted a classic amp for it – a 68 Fender Princeton for the solo… sweet, sweet amp. I think I might need to bring the solo up just a hair.

An exciting new release from John and Nate straight out of UT, these guys have been quiet lately but have blasted out of the gates with a new track for you guys to enjoy…Forceful beats and sweet melodies to be had here….All feedback welcomed and don’t forget to rate!

I thought I would post an older song while I am mixing another one with my new singer…

About two years ago my wife was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor in her abdomen. That night I laid in bed wondering what the future would hold. I got up about 1 in the morning and drove a couple of hours into the desert and just sat on a rocky hill listening to the night sounds; the sunrise was one of the coolest I have seen. I went home and came up with this song. It is a couple of years old and its a mellow instrumental with orchestra, synths and guitar riffs. It mirrors my experience just laying there in the middle of nowhere and the feelings I was going through at the time..

This past Christmas my wife was able to successfully have her tumos removed and was given a relatively clean bill of health for the time being.

Relationships are often complicated things. We all have walls put up to shield ourselves from others. Its when those walls come down that the relationship changes. Sometimes it’s time to leave.

Crunchy guitars, melodic piano and memorable bridge and chorus create a toe-tapping / head bobbing rock song.

A weird short recording created one Friday evening. I was as in the mood to write something but didnt have a starting point of any kind. Recorded a single goof acoustic part and got bored. Plugged in the ol faithful GT6 pedal and grabbed my “Encryption days” Ibanez.. and bamm.. another so-so idea was born.. Even I think this tune is kind of odd… cuts out sharply.. I hate doing that..
