#34 in Honky-Tonk No samples

Primarily acoustic tune regarding camping in the northern wilderness. One of only two songs where I added drums live in real time.

Acoustic Folk

Rousing tribute to the early 19th century Canadian firebrand reformer, who for a time was forced into US exile before Britain finally granted responsible democratic government.

Traditional Celtic

Never thought I'd write a cowboy song but then again, I was spending much of my winters in South Padre Texas jamming and performing with country musicians, so this sweet clip-clopping Tex-Mex ballad was inevitable.

Americana No samples

Young summer love, the beach, and sweet sounding dual lead guitars. A feel good tune to harken back to the days of youth, and for a moment, forget about the ills of the world.

Dance-Pop

Compelling country-rock ballad inspired by a disillusioned Vietnam vet suffering from PTSD in the late 70's. He was selected in the last draft to see combat. Features a nice dual Strat lead guitar riff and vocals.

Southern Rock

Dark verses transition to the feel-good country-rock chorus and lyrics, plus a nice guitar solo. Acceptance and forgiveness in the face of life's adversities.

Alternative Country

Rustic folk rock loosely based upon the misadventures depicted in the Mark Vonnegut (Kurt's son) novel, Eden Express.

Alternative Country

Ballad with some sweet dual lead guitar work, piano and folk rock flavor. I wrote it many years ago but its enduring relevance prompted me to re-record it more recently.

Indie Pop No samples
