Singles from my 2022 album "Your Home on the Range".

Your Home on the Range

8.  Thank God for France

10.  Willioughby

Jim Reeves scored #1 on Billboard with this song, a couple months before I was born. I've always loved it, because he left a lot open to interpretation, so the tune has several different ways one could assess it. And, let's face it - he was a pretty talented, straight-ahead guy. "Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone"... I've tried to be as straight-ahead as he was.

He'll Have to Go

I always liked this song as  kid, but in general, I never liked the Motown sound. So I decided to re-do it as a rock song. Although pleased with the result, I *do* wish I could have gotten these foxy ladies to do background vocals...

Love is Like an Itching In My Heart

Another of my favorite childhood artists – Neil Diamond. His original tunes (radio versions) were part of the soundtrack of my childhood. He remains a favorite artist today, and although most of his recordings are live versions which (I feel) are a little “over the top and ham-handed”, let’s face it: Neil Diamond has earned that right, in spades. So here’s “Holly Holy”, as true to the original as I could make it while still imparting my own ethos. :)


Holly Holy

When this album first came out, I adored it – especially this track. Of course, AOR radio airplay soured that opinion rapidly-enough: after 45,000 plays, I detest the tune “Don’t You Want Me”… but recently my iPod called up this tune, and with the intervening years as a buffer, I thought I’d take a stab at re-interpreting it. Things fell into place soon-enough – and here we are.

The Things That Dreams Are Made Of

As the Song title implies - this tune will only be here a short time. It's an unfinished, unmastered mix of a tune in the works, awaiting additional vocals.

Thanks for visiting, and listening to my stuff! :) I'm not a rock star, just a working-class man that loves music! All of the material here was played, recorded, and produced by myself in my little home studio, except as noted in the song notes. I don't make money on music - and never have. I do these songs for the pure enjoyment of the process, and the fun of the finished work. I also design and build some of the electronics I use to make this happen. :)

With the Covers, my mission is simply to preserve some damn fine songs I have encountered over the years, while adding my own “spin” to them. 

All of my music is available as free downloads at www.teejnet.com , and if you "friend request" me on FB, please ALSO message me and let me know who you are. I recently turned-away a few friend requests because I didn't recognize you, and my apologies for that. Our Lives are short. Let's be Friends.

Peace!
