Devil Hasn't Got Me

King Of The World

Lyrics are inspired by a program of action that changed my life and references the desire to help others do the same.  Spiritual experiences can only be kept and enhanced if one gives away.

Joyride

Fun tune, but just wait till the Gradinger BP001 comes in through a Wampler Ego into a Mesa 2x12 around 3.5min

You're The Best Times

Not a huge fan of the standard 4 chord T bar of pop music at the time, I decided I couldn't knock it unless I tried it, so here you have a standard 4 chord pop song in an A,B,A,B,A,C,A formant.  Of course, I couldn't resist a jamm'in guitar solo at the end.    

Rains In Color

This song came out of me the day after the death of the great Merle Haggard.  It certainly is no Merle Haggard, but it is also not very Bryan Powers.  

Wild Whistler

After 2002 when Solid Jones was completed and dissolved, singer Jay Johnson and I started writing music.  Much of it never got recorded and that which did was never completed.  I decided to go back and finish a couple of the tunes that we did, so as usual, it is me singing and playing everything (circa 2010), but Jay wrote these lyrics (circa 2002-2003ish).  

Something I Just Wanted To Say

Yes, you got that right.  It is a ballad converted to a Funk Rock Jam.  Why?  you may ask.  Please, Big Star fans, don't burn me at the stake for this one.  "13" is one of my favorite song of all time, one of the most beautiful songs ever written, so to cover it with integrity, I had to make it danceable.  This 7 min jam is almost unrecognizable, as intended.  Sorry Jody Stevens.....

Thirteen

I wrote the music to this song in 2004 so it was about time I finish it.  Lyrics in May of 2014 and Recorded in Aug. of 2016.  Better late than never.  Plug your ears for the guitars at the end because I am not remixing it.  

Enjoy!
