I like this a lot, John. Sounds old/traditional yet modern at the same time. Miss hearing Drew on SC, guess he must be makin' music somewhere...

Love the banjo use and another fine bit of songwriting. Durge

music is real good in this mountain music

Gets better with every listen. I really miss Drew....such an awesome musician - I hope he's out there making new music. And of course the song...well you already know how much I love your songs John xxx

This reminds me of "O, Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack. Excellent playing and delivery. Enjoyed.

Once Upon a

"I'm the famous guitar player," the late Duane Allman said, "but Dickey is the good one."
Considered one of the best 100 guitarists by Rolling Stone magazine, this track is my hommage for all his great blues and slide chops. 
His roots are in jazz, and you can hear the influence of his clean-toned modal soloing in a lot of Southern rock groups. 
The guitar is a Gibson ES339.  Halfway, I introduced an acoustic Harley Benton. The track ends with a driven electric guitar, for something unexpected. 
Let me know what you think and  ...enjoy!

I called this disturbing cocktail of sounds "This Wrong Wrong World" and, at the moment, it corresponds to my inner state.

This Wrong Wrong World

This song was inspired by the movie " In Time" Starring Justin Timberlake, Cillian Murphy and Amanda Seyfield, Great movie its a must see , Its about a world where everyone has to buy time to live. My  song is about time and love and contains several definition of what time is....As albert Einstein said..."TIme is an illusion that moves relative to an observer"  He also said that the universe has a speed limit and that is 186,000 Miles per second ...which is the speed of light...

Tried to get a Motown feel and vibe to this song with a modern twist..

I hope you like my time because its all i have

This is an old one I put lyrics to. 
Drew Ford did the music.
We need more of Drew's art in this world.

That High Mountain
John Delk / Drew Ford  2013

The road is long
when your soul is weak
Time is now
But not yours to keep

The mountain's high
An the valley's low
Ain't no easy
Way to go

Don't be afraid
To turn around
Don’t let the past
Slow you down

When you come down ..... from that high mountain
When you finally …..... understand
That you ain't...... one bit better
Then you'll be.... a better man

When you get, all you're after
When you find, there ain't enough
When you come down, from that high mountain
You never will ….. go back up



It's just you an that high mountain's
Then it's just you, it's just you

You and that High Mountain

I'll Be Around

Lucifer Uncrowned.  

Apologies to John Milton ( Paradise Lost ) but the recent fall from grace of 
President Trump and The Witchfinder General Cummins drew my mind to the wickedly unfair demise of Lucifer.  

Live. One mic. No excuses. Had a few beers tho.....

A sweet voice said, 'Bless my soul,  
gotta get back into heaven
cuz I left my phone...
If the Big Guy finds it, turns it on
I got some dirty pictures of me dressed up as a swan...

Down, cast down, hungover, uncrowned
Set to to drown at the bottom of a bottle
with my tu-tu twisted round...

An old angel said 'There's a secret door
...l got a  key, 
in my sock drawer
In the good old days, it was one of the ways
to smuggle in a girl and gin in time for Hogmanay '..

Down, cast down, hungover, uncrowned
Set to drown at the bottom of a bottle
with my tu-tu halfway down...

The Dark Lord said 'Sad to report there's been some Revelations
I'm overdue in court...
It was an honest mistake, I love Swan Lake
I was suckered by a witches' brew 
of Granny Smith's and snake...

Down, cast down, hungover, uncrowned 
Set to drown at the bottom of a bottle ........
Oh Lord, snake news brought me down.

Lucifer Uncrowned

A sax quartet version of the wonderful and accommodating traditional tune "Amazing Grace." Georg and I both play two parts, can you tell which is which? We met in the Große Musikvereinssaal to record this - at least that's what impulse went into the convolution reverb.

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
