Me want fe grind nice and slow
This mornin wood has got to go
I'll be the buck, you'll be the doe
We spoon and soon we gonna grind till noon
Grind! First thing in the mornin
Grind! Nice and Slow
Me want fe kiss nice and slow
from your lips to your toes
I'll be the thorn you'll be the rose
Too sore for more, we gonna sleep till four
Grind! First thing in the mornin
Grind! In the afternoon
Grind! Bursting from the loins and
Grind! In the midnight hour!

Boyd Littell- George Dub

Some darker dub reggae. Borrowed and altered the idea for the hook from a Gavin Castleton song but i think he actually sampled it from something else. My most King Tubby-est creation yet. All instruments and vocals by yours truly.

If i said you were awesome would you come back to me? Bought you flowers and chocolates would you come back to me? Told you that i adore you would you come back to me? I could write a song for you. Would you come back to me?

Customized cover version of Mike Hosty's Married Man. Used to do a full vocal version of it with Tincture. several yrs after that band folded i decided to record this dub version. All instruments and vocals by yours truly.

Boyd Littell- Married Man Dub(Mike Hosty)

Travis Linville is the bomb. He and his original Burtchi Bros. bassist Jaime Kelley wrote this. I kinda Jimmy Cliffed it up and added back up vocal parts. this is an unfinished mix! I had Travis do a lap steel solo in the middle, just haven't finished that version but will post ASAP. All other instruments and vocals by yours truly.

Boyd Littell- Wishing Well(Travis Linville, Jaime Kelley)

Hot little Latin Jazz ditty featuring my Hammond B3 skills. All instruments by yours truly!

Boyd Littell-Implosions

Back when i was directing 10 piece salsa and latin jazz group Conjunto Clave i wanted to compose a piece that referenced and paid homage to one of the worlds greatest Latin bandleaders Tito Puente, particularly his ever changing song El Rey del Timbal. El Rey was a kind of a bit of a joke in that it is a blatant feature of Tito's timbale soloing but Tito never claimed to be the best timbalero. He did however claim to be one of the best Latin composers that catered specifically to the dancers. I am doing the exact same thing with this song. I even simplified my timbale soloing a bit and tried to impersonate Tito's playing style rather than really show my true skills, just to reiterate the 'I want to be known for my compositions' mantra he, and I,follow.  Anyone who is truly familiar with his work will truly understand what i was going for here. If there are any Cuban Mambo y Salsa bands out there that would like to adopt this song then PLEASE CONTACT ME! IT NEEDS A NEW HOME AND NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED BY AND SHARED WITH PEOPLE WHO WILL TRULY APPRECIATE IT!!!  
Lyrics were cowritten with Greg Hallman and Robert Ruiz
Horns charted and arranged by a very patient Kasra George Ahmadi and Ryan Jones

Thumpre(Boyd Littell) Fan Plan Funk

Had always wanted to take a stab at doing my own cutting and arranging of the infamous "Amen" breakbeat if anybody knows what i'm even talking about. i hope to do it again in the future that shit seriously takes FOREVER to make. this one features samples from "Animal House" and King Tubby. The bass line is totally biting from a song by Tulsa OK's Tae Meyulks. you should check them too.

Was pretty much listening to nothing but Amon Tobin when i made this. 

Thumpre(Boyd Littell)-Amon

Instrumental hiphop Beat for sale! Old school Jdilla style complete with a chipmunk hook! Sampled from two of my other projects on this one- the iLLs, a band i played drums for yrs ago, and the hook is from my song Come Back to Me that you can listen to on my page. MCs and rappers: i can rearrange vs and chorus lengths as well as breaks if need be.
