An acoustic version of an absolute classic Foo Fighters track....this whole E.P. was in part inspired by reading Dave Grohl's biography, which detailed how he wrote, performed, recorded and produced a full album of his own songs after Nirvana; released under a silly, made-up name so no-one would know it was him - "Foo Fighters".

Best Of You (Foo Fighters)

A solo acoustic cover of Del Amitri's classic "Move Away, Jimmy Blue", from their "Waking Hours" album.  Great song, recorded and produced using Garagaband for iPad.  All performances from me.  Last song for a while, until after my second child arrives and i can start making noise again.... 

Move Away, Jimmy Blue (Del Amitri cover)

To think this was a B-side....ridiculously good song from one of the best songwriting bands of my generation, criminally under-rated in certain areas of the music press.  The incomparable Del Amitri's "In The Frame", murdered to death by me - enjoy.

In The Frame (Del Amitri cover)

Acoustic cover of Ryan Adam's "Gimme Something Good", a cracking song from his latest album, well worth a listen.  All instruments & vocals performed, recorded and produced by me.

Gimme Something Good

Acoustic cover of Oasis' "Don't Go Away", recorded using GarageBand on IPad 3.

Don't Go Away

My first new song for a while, had on the backburner for a few months.....

Where To Begin?

If I Had A Gun

Exit Ghost

A dark, claustrophobic song from an excellent Irish band I saw supporting Del Amitri years ago...."Waiting" by The Devlins.  One of my favourite songs.  Superb album too.  Any comments welcomed!

Waiting

An acoustic cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya" - Matt Weddle from Obidiah Parker did a brilliant version of this a few years ago.  Lots of processing on the vocals, trying to do 3-part harmonies on my own is quite a challenge.....

Hey Ya

A cover of Del Amitri's "Be My Downfall", the opening track from their album "Change Everything".  A wonderful song, I was hooked on the band as soon as I heard this song.  Justin Currie is one of the most under-rated songwriters of his generation.  All instruments/vocals/recording/mixing/production done by myself using Garageband on ipad.

Be My Downfall (Del Amitri)

An acoustic cover of Oasis' Stop Crying Your Heart Out.....great song, sounds lovely played acoustically, there are some superb videos on YouTube of Noel playing this solo. Used my new Epiphone electro-acoustic for the first time. Comments welcome!
