Roy Orbison

The Pagan Idols (Chris G Dyer)

A fun to record Karaoke cover of one of my favorite Bee Gees (pre disco) tunes. What a wonderful love song.

Desert of the Heart (original Music)

O What a Thrill (A Mavericks Karaoke Cover)

My best effort at singing a Journey classic. It doesn't begin to compare to Steve Perry's beautiful original version but, once again, it's so much fun trying.

Faithfully (Journey Karaoke Cover)

An original surf instrumental by The Pagan Idols (Chris Dyer & Earl Tuggle). There are some terrible rumors going around how this song came about...here's what really happened: Take one Friday night & add mucho cervezas + some drums, a bass, a guitar, a new riff & an iPad and what you get is a really fun, really loose freestyle night of recording new music, that's all....and I feel confident that the subsequent police investigation will prove this to be the truth!

Johnny Utah

Played with this song one night while the recorder was running & saved it for later as a reminder to revisit and work on a version worth listening to. Never got to it so I've posted this one just for the fun of  it. Definitely not ready for prime time!

Cecilia Ann (Pixies Cover)

Attention!!! Just Found.....This 10 year old track from the early daze (literally). Two Dudes on guitars, a cool drum beat, too many beers and a single take run amok. The end result is something we both really liked...a lot. Its not fancy and defiantly no technical guitar wizardry displayed here but it was certainly a lot of fun. Earl & Chris


The Getaway (Suspects On Foot)

Just a quick little karaoke recording of my second favorite Jay & The Americans song...the first being 'This Magic Moment' which may be next on my agenda :)

A favorite Gary Puckett song that I decided to cover.

Young Girl, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap cover by Chris G. Dyer

Lonely is A Man Without Love (Englebert Humperdinck Cover)

This cover is a work in progress. A duet made famous in the 60's by Lee Greenwood & Nancy Sinatra was also covered by Villi Valo & Natalia Avelon (my favorite version) for the film 'Das Wilde Leben'. In this recording I've completed the instrumental tracks and I'm singing both the girl & guy parts of the duet but the final mix will feature a woman singing the appropriate part of duet (as it should be) all I have to do is find the right woman willing to lay down the vocal track.

Summer Wine

A little fun with a Led Zeplin song that I have always loved.

A very rough (early) run through of a favorite Monkees song to play. The lyrics to this song seem to have been very fluid through the years as the Monkees recorded several versions with inconsistent lyrics.
