unfinished... but a song that I hope will ring true with someone out there.

Its Not Time Yet

First session at 'No Machine' studios for a new song collection.
Featuring Mr. Trevor on bass and lead guitar. 
Going Round Again.... hope you like it.

Going Round Again

A song inspired by a good friend of mine who spent some time in Portland prison.  played on a Fender Rhodes piano....those were the days.

A Note From Inside

Track from Rough Cuts... hadn't heard it for years...just found it, liked it...thought you might like it too.

Come the snow

"My Father said.... "  A song which is a tribute to my Father and fathers everywhere who give their family the love, the guidance and the strength that will survive through the generations.  

My Father Said...

This song was co-written by myself and the prolific Mr. Les Reed performed by the magnificent Valerie Masters. It is a track from 'Covers and Co-Writes' a private collection of songs written by JDR and sung by other artists or co-written by JDR and other composers. 

Whenever I close my eyes

"Oh Mother Earth it's time we were leaving"....just about says it all.  

Mother Earth

Co-written with, and produced by, the amazing Les Reed, Queen of Hearts is sung by Danny Ellis.  A song from a number we wrote together years ago.... and one which I am particularly fond of.

Queen of Hearts

A  bit of fun from the 'Rough Cuts' album.
