Awake

Original alt-folk song by Joe Petri and Jackie Rankin.

We've rerecorded this song to brighten it and move it up a whole step from the original version we posted.

By My Side

A little acoustic instrumental piece that I've been developing using a drop-d tuning on the high and low E-strings. For Edward.

Turkish Delight

A little acoustic instrumental using the same tuning Jimmy Page used in Bron-Yr-Aur

Bron-Yr-Jimmy

Demo recorded at our most recent session.  We've playing this song for about half a year live and at the end of August set up in the back of Joe's bookshop to records some new songs including this one. Jackie sings the lead and harmony lines and Joe is playing both guitar parts as well as the "percussion" track, played on a book laying around the shop (If found James Patterson's Kill Alex Cross to have the best tone. At least it's good for something).

Moving Stones

Bounce is an original song we've been playing live for a few months now and decided to record for the first time at the end of August when we set up a quick recording session at the back of Joe's bookshop in Buffalo, NY. It was done in two takes, with almost no editing or splicing. Lyrics are by Jackie and the music was written by Jackie and Joe.

Bounce

One of our favorites by Patty Griffin - "Poor Man's House" off of Living with Ghosts.
