| I Cant Get Enough Of That Stuff by Dyl | 1 year ago |
| Sounds great to me !! What did you use for the accordian/pump organ sound? | |
| Gork's Drift by davajonah | 3 years ago |
 As I said elsewhere  the groove here is intensely gentle and insistently subtle. What a great track!My only critiscism is - it's too short  |

| "finds you much less charming when you're broke" classic lyrics. Love it. |

| It Just Happens Like That by GumboStu | 4 years ago |
| Thanks guys. I have three tunes written now, and the beginnings of the recordings sorted out. Seven more to go to complete the Challenge. I get to feel good at work during the early part of the week, and then build up some frenzy for next weekend. The RPM Challenge is a gas community of itinernet musicians who promise to do their damndest to get an album of previously unrecorded tunes together before the end of the month. They don't have to be written in Feb. Just recorded, but it can be taken to whatever level yo feel is a challenge. It's a bit like taking a swim in the North Sea on New Years Day. |

| Just my Imagination (Cover) by jibes | 4 years ago |
| Bravo. One of my fave Temptations tracks and you've done it proud |
|
| Lonely by BridgeCreek | 4 years ago |
| Lovely - could almost be a crossover soul track, nice Memphis sound to it. |
|
| been there before (howling dog) by guitardogcar | 4 years ago |
| It even feels like 6am .... sleep in your eyes and wonder in your voice great performance. |
|
| 500 Miles (cover) by jibes | 4 years ago |
| Chilled! Lovely ambience, and the vocal works for me too. How do you get that laid back, yet travelling groove? Wonderful. Based on the old folk tune, Rueben's Train ? LOL |
|
| Winters Night by Sista Mac | 4 years ago |
| Just stopping by to add my agreement. I love this track. My fave new Xmas song this year. | |
| Rocket 88 (Cover) by guitarGuy75 | 4 years ago |
| Love that vocal. Nice phrasing. The sax is sweet, and that piano is lovely. Great version! | |
| Blue Sparrow Blues by GumboStu | 4 years ago |
| I'm never quite sure whether folks are serious when they say that Rusticalia. I did the harmonies on this. It's the kind of thing that only works when my voice is in the right mood thanks for listening. I appreciate the comments. |
|
| Picayune Butler's Come to Town by brendan7 | 4 years ago |
That's beautiful, and a little bit of history. I can see how it got lodged in your head, Brendan. Long Live the oral tradition! |
|
| Blue Sparrow Blues by GumboStu | 4 years ago |
| Cheers Brendan. I heard this on my iPod today and it does seem like it could be tweaked. It sounded the way I wanted it on my computer and stereo. Ah well. |
|
| Last Tree Standing by jimbouchard | 4 years ago |
| Thank you for recording this Jim. You bring a special quality to the tune. Funnily enough I didn't like Nebraska when I heard it (20 years ago?) perhaps it's time to go listen again! | |
| She get's the best of me by jibes | 4 years ago |
| This works really well with your voice, jibes. Sounds simple but the rhythmic melody line is beautifully done. The lead guitar was a long time coming There's a lovely 10 c.c. feel to this somehow. Needs a harmony on the title line imho (but then I do like your harmonies) |
|
| Blue Sparrow Blues by GumboStu | 4 years ago |
| Thanks folks. Louder guitars, hmm? I'll have a play with it and see how that sounds. Thanks for listening everyone. | |
| & It Stoned Me(Cover) by GhostRiders3 | 4 years ago |
| bravo indeed, this feels like fun to me, and even though I put the original on a pedestal, I can enjoy this and would be there dancin and wavin and singin to hear it live. I think the guitars could/need to find something for the "Oh the water" part but. Fun in progress. pour me a cupful. |
|
| Robert Johnson 'Terraplane Blues' cover by xnery | 4 years ago |
| Nice playing - there's a real good feeling to this. | |
| Fagen and the revolution by tomkelly | 4 years ago |
| You'd blow a few cobwebs out with this down the pub, Tom. Epic is right, like a 17century Jimmy McCarthy. Great. |
|
| Riptide by Up211 | 4 years ago |
| Mixed a bit hot LOL pretty effin chunky tho' Rockin' - that's a lovely treble sound off of that guitar. |
|
| Elvis Presley Blues - Gillian Welch cover by GumboStu | 4 years ago |
| Revival is great, too. And Soul Journey. But "Time" has something extra somehow. Thanks for the listens folks, it is nice to add this to my repertoire. A special song. |
|
| Every Day You Take Me There by pete | 4 years ago |
Yay! Go Pete!!  The vocals are a little crowded in places (early on) but still "Faved". Thank you for this |
|
| Pissing In A River by etgilles | 4 years ago |
| I like Patti but don't know this one. I hear her ghost in there, though. Intense and intimate indeed, lovely guitar tone. Bravo! | |
| Wayfarin' Stranger by ScottCarmichael | 4 years ago |
| Wow, that's a pretty epic vision you have there, and a stunning vocal arrangement. Great. | |
| Fade Away by benjaminflint | 4 years ago |
Love the a cappella part, beautiful. The guitars work for me. All round polish and charm. Lovely track. |
|
| Cape Cod Girls by jimbouchard | 4 years ago |
This is a great track, it rolls and builds with seemingly effortless abandon, the harmonies are perfect, like th' Band - slightly chaotic, and ever fresh. The playing is stellar, the production etc etc - I love it Such a wonderful evocation of the Sea. Faved. |
|
| Black Cat by Leesa | 4 years ago |
| Another favourite for me. Woo! |
|
| Dreamdance by feenixx | 4 years ago |
| Lovely transitions feenixx, mesmerising. I had a dream like that once - the ticket for the club was also a train ticket, and i forgot to get a pass out when I went on to the platform so I was climbing about on the train roofs (rooves?) and such. Weird. Is there a movie for this? |
|
| Hey Mexico (you shuck away all my ill) by johnmoore | 4 years ago |

| I Don't Need an SUV... by thetruffulaseeds | 4 years ago |
| Drop the drums back and bring the vocal up drier and call me in the morning, with coffee. No ... I'll make the coffee ... What is your mixing setup? |
|
| Cold To The Bone by GumboStu | 4 years ago |

| Love Won Out (campfire mix) by EvilFactman | 4 years ago |
| LOL I enjoyed that |
|
| Hereafter by tomkelly | 4 years ago |
| Good stuff, Tom. I especially like the lyric and the main vocal. | |
| From Here by madelineburke | 4 years ago |
There's a really nice Doo-Wop feel to this vocal, which takes me back to the fifties. I'm not suggesting that you go that way with it, just that there is that sweetness in the melody. This is a very pretty song for such a sad moment. EDIT I got it: it's something that wouldn't be out of place on an album by The Fleetwoods, say. Lovely. |
|
| Super Happy Magical Sci-Fi Fantasy Anime Girl by ScubaScissors | 4 years ago |
| Hey this is in the zone. I listen with ears unclouded by hate Faved. Will there be a country version? |
|
| Such a Night by woofer3 | 4 years ago |
| VeryMellow take on this catchy tune, John. Damn you can play. Sounds like it's a one take with chorus on top? Sweet. |

| Big smile here. Really nice song, guys. |
|
| Dumb idea by starseedz | 4 years ago |
| I love your stuff! Nice to hear a new one. Great production as usual and catchy in a (yes) moody sort of way. Leaves me kind of wondering what the story is, though on another day I'd have my own story to fill in with Great! |
|
| Rock and Roll All Night (Kiss Cover) by CaptSandwich | 4 years ago |
| You have a nice loping beat to this, a cool fun track. The vocal is a little uncertain in the early part of the song - you sound much more confident in the secong half. Might be worth playing around with this some more. | |
| No Escape From Amy (My Vocal Debut!) by PiranhaLake | 4 years ago |
| Woo! The Ramones meet Jan and Dean. Great! |
|
| End Of The World (as we know it) REM Cover by GumboStu | 4 years ago |

|
| Your Rose Tint Color by Matt Granz | 4 years ago |
| Matt said: I used to proclaim myself King of the iCompositions Lo-Fi movement (which really doesn't exist) and have recently begun to take the mixing process a lot more seriously. The King is dead. Long Live the King !! |
|
| Your Rose Tint Color by Matt Granz | 4 years ago |
Makes me want to cut the top off my car with an angle grinder and go driving round Dublin on a Saturday afternoon . Wicked. |
|
| Give Up Yer Gold (Pirate Day song 07) by GumboStu | 4 years ago |
| Thanks everyone. I strongly believe that Piracy was the inspiration for Surf. All those bored sailors trying to get home on a small piece of wreckage, being washed up on desert islands, and really, I mean walking the plank!! ... |
|
| La Mauvaise Reputation (G. Brassens) by Dyl | 4 years ago |
| Everyone should listen to this (except, the Deaf, obviously) Dylan you keep throwing out these great Artists that I have to go and look up. You should do a radio show somewhere, really) Loved this track. Thoroughly. (minor critique: some of the nylon twangs were a bit sharp) |
|
| Coat of many Colors (cover) by jalanix | 4 years ago |
| I'm sorry that's rude of me. The dobro ices the cake here. I'm a wee bit awed, guys |
|
| Coat of many Colors (cover) by jalanix | 4 years ago |
Whoa! Go Leslie! She sings professionally I hope. This is a very nice version of a classy tune. |

| The Devil's Right Hand by georgeptingley | 4 years ago |
| Heheh! This is fun. I love the way your drummer plays. He really helps to shift the emphasis around. Thanks George, you've given the piece depth. What a great surprise |
|
| Fenugreek by AceNoface | 4 years ago |
Cool and quirky. Not the bitter I might have expected but a hint of the worldly wise. Thanks for the herbal lesson What a lovely swing to this. |
|
| TEOIM: 03 Old Fashioned Death of Life by RichardRinger | 4 years ago |
Richard, this is a cracker - stark and intense and not a haunted note out of place. Lovely production. The instruments, simple as they are in arrangement work perfectly. The energy is amazing enough but the whole "window to the soul" vitality of the performance blows me away. Be Proud. Be very very Proud of this. |
|
| A Billion Lightyears Away by _mason_ | 4 years ago |
| Epic. This is vast and rightly so. Great song, wonderful production. Stunning collab, you two. |
|
| Fiddlin' Around by ciheins | 4 years ago |
| Greetings from Ireland This is lovely. That's a nice fiddle you have there. Takes me back it does, so it does. I'm a bit puzzled though about the stereo thing tho' coz it's all on one side (unless I've just broke me headphones  ) |
|
| Blue Rag (folk rag) by georgeptingley | 4 years ago |
Wonderful. If I understand you right the 'sections' are distinct parts that are repeated (or not) and may recur. Is there a traditional chord pattern that is followed for consecutive sections as well? Or is that at the inspiration (or whim) of the composer? This is indeed an education listening and reading the theory at the same time. especially when the music is so full of character. Thank you. |
|
| Never Say Never by cardologist | 4 years ago |
Chillin' in both senses of the word. Cool and nervy. And trippy? Oh yes! |
|
| I Chase The Voodoo Devil by cardologist | 4 years ago |
No comments here either. Was this before comments? Anyway it's a wacky and fun - like taking Dub back to those fifties B Movies. Hey maybe you're time travellers? If so "come forward a bit and give us another" |
|
| Chantdown Babylon by cardologist | 4 years ago |
Wow! 447 plays and only 1 comment. That's mad. This is great - a really skanky dub. Reminds me of that guy who did "North of the Thames" only trippier |

| Please Come Home (Remix) by brendan7 | 4 years ago |
much better mix there is a lovely feel to your playing and singing, and this mix brings it out. It is an intriguing song any chance of posting the lyrics? dropped a star for the backing vocal which isn't quite gelling with the lead tho' I dig the ache in it |
|
| In The Bag by UncletupeloFan | 4 years ago |
Strong writing. It's an intriguing story and your voice works very well for this song. I wonder what you'd do with a harmony vocal |
|
| If You See Her Say Hello (Dylan Cover) by brendan7 | 4 years ago |
Ah now. that's a great song nicely done. edited for spelling |
|
| Lisa Jane by tomkelly | 4 years ago |
| I wonder what tobbe said before he edited LOL you'd think a music teacher would've had something constructive to say but Hey! we all have bad days. So we're talking about a WIP (work in progress) here, and it sounds like you have the vocal pretty much sussed. I agree with Shadowofdeath about mixing. One of the guitars keeps pushing the vocal out. (levels) You have three(?) lead guitars and it's crowded. drop the middle one and see what happens. (space) It's a good groove and a mellow melody.

| It's All Over Now [band; live; cvr] by Bob6stringer | 4 years ago |
| Sorry Bob - I should check my sources. Sam's brother LC was in another group that Sam was working with at the time, and The Valentino's were indeed the Womack brothers. My apologies. This is a kickin version though by any standards |
|

| Outside tonight by FlamingBiscuit | 4 years ago |
| Yay! This still has a Jam sound to the harmonies, but I hear something else in there, too, older from a more innocent time. I love the way it starts off kind of melancholy and just gets irrepressible by the end. Very Cool. |

| Jockey Full Of Bourbon (Tom Waits cover) by Dyl | 4 years ago |
| Jeez - you know from the first few bars that it's gonna be a classic, and then the vocal comes in and I don't know whether it's Dylan or Bernardo. What a laugh, but the laugh goes because it's wonder that takes over. What a beaut! Wonderful. I am in awe. |
