@user-138663860: you know it Sunshine - always bringing that warmth and light to our music!

Both the US and the rest of the world will be influenced forever by tomorrow's US election.  This collection includes so many of my favorite musicians, who have joined me the last year, as we have felt together the unrest, the lies and deceit from our current Republican administration.  The world deserves better.

On The Way

The Netherland's incredible Rients Draissma tears up our blues rock original Change It Up.   He's simply one of the finest guitar players we've heard, pushing sound, rhythm and harmony.   Check out Rients' superb jazz-rock fusion guitar and arrangements:  http://www.rientsdraaisma.com - his latest album Guitales is simply burning http://www.rientsdraaisma.com/shop-guitales/, and follows up on so many Tribal Tech and Weather Report influenced compositions:  https://soundcloud.com/rients-draaisma.  Also check out his iJam album, of heavy fusion burners.
I've been fortunate to have recorded a number of tunes with Rients, among some of my favorites here on SoundCloud. 

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

The day that fell

A new blues rock original, We Need A Change.  Joined here by the super soulful vocals and lyrics of Annie Smart, and fine blues inspired guitar playing of Alec DeCaprio.   Annie's such a complete musician, having grown up in a truly musical family that has been carried on for generations.  She's now a choir director and piano teacher, and has created such great lines and harmonies to tell the story.  Alec's only 21, yet years ahead in his maturity and vision.  Follow these fine musicians and friends:

We Need A Change - Annie Smart / Alec DeCaprio / Jamie Rhind

Things are a mess.  We have to do better.  We need unity.

You're Tearing Us Apart

Take a trip through time and space with scenic stops along the way.  The tour includes a flight through scores of waves and particles.  Get entangled at the Enormous Fabric Manufacturing Facility. Enjoy clean hotels (relatively speaking)  with dual closets, and of course be ready for random wildlife sightings,  from a distance.

Vodka and Caviar

I once flew across America
Just holding a balloon
Discovered a buried treasure chest
Full of gold doubloon 
I walked into a hurricane
And found myself back home
On a wild white stallion
Galloping through foam

It’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train
It’s not the truth
But sometimes it aint too far
Just the echoes of days
Of vodka and caviar

I sold my soul to a friendly gecko
Who left it on the bar
I ate a bag of sunshine
That exploded in my car
I flew with the Egyptian gods
And travelled to the stars
And I dressed up like a carnival king
With glitter in glass jars

It’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train
It’s not the truth
But sometimes it aint too far
Just the echoes of days
On vodka and caviar

Some days
Are better than others
Some nights I
Don’t bother…

It’s not the truth
Sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train

The walled-up dust on a jester’s laugh
For a cask of sherry wine
The smell of sugar cane in the heat
And a woman’s gaze divine
Float around my spinning head
A trail of petalled steps I said
Take me from the tower and sing
My songs around my bed
(Is he dead?)

It’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train
It’s not the truth
But sometimes it aint too far
Just the echoes of days
On vodka and caviar
Vodka and caviar
On vodka and caviar

Thanks yet again to Amanda for lending her lungs to this. Please listen to her other great tracks on @phoebeelena.

Love
How you been?
In this world
of rattling limbs?

In the morning crawl
you can have it all
But I don't want it
any more

If you're ok then I'm ok
And i don't need no-one
Isolation
we just miss the sun

And we run and we race the heart
and we run
we glow red in the dark
we glow red in the dark

You look like
a wet weekend
this must be 
how it ends

You must be
my only friend
taking up 
oxygen

And we run with the rolling hearts
and we run
we glow red in the dark
we run back to the start

We've long memories
(if you're ok then I'm ok
and we don't need the stars in isolation)
We run and race the heart

Isolation (by Amanda and Paul)
