Michael O'Mara and The Subterranean

Music From The Heart

Lean On Love

My old music Brother, Cliff Gracey.  We wrote this song way back in 1973 or4.  Still sounds good to me.  Cliff was an amazing talent.  He crossed over unexpectedly today.  I'm heartbroken.  Rest In Peace Brother.

Angel Eyes by Cliff Gracey and Michael O'Mara

I've always loved this song and want to thank my Patchouli Brothers Kevin Mauch and Mike Noel for helping out on the recording. Mike did his tracks in his home studio and sent the files to the Bunker to be mixed. Kevin and I did our tracks in the Bunker as usual.

Beatle cover Fool on the Hill  the Patchouli Brothers way

Classic Dylan track.  Recorded with my new friend David Robinson.  David played all the instruments on this track and was kind enough to let me add a vocal track.  We are both Dylan fans and it's been fun recording together via file sharing.

(revised version) Here's a nice cover of Paul Simon's "Overs" written in 1968. Because the internet lets us create music with friends from anywhere in the world. My old music partner from the late 70's Leigh Stanley who lives in Michigan, sent me his guitar track and I added my vocal part. I always loved this song. Just guitar and vocals.
