Another raising the spirits...Nature's Dream!!!

Fantastic Track - Cool Lyrics And Melody x

Great vocal arrangement on a breezy pop song. Can't fault the musicianship.

Great, upbeat rock track, with really cool guitar and vocal harmonies.

A Wisconsin anthem...sort of....
Are you addicted to cheese curds? Crave whitefish livers and a cold Leinie's? Spend hours sitting on a bucket, ice fishing at twenty below zero, but release all the fish cause you'd rather have a burger?
Another single from the upcoming Penelope's Thrill album, "Twilight on Tunnel Road," due out on April 26, 2021. 
Main guitars on this are a Vintage Modified Strat playing the fast-picking melodic riff and my '66 Guild Starfire XII filling things out and playing the lead. They are joined by my Gretsch 5622T and '78 Guild S-60.

“Clockwork Clouds”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

Nothing I say gives you a clue.
You just want me singing the blues.
But I don’t know how to choose—
too many things jostling my mind like leaves in the wind.

And this corn looks so fine, but I’m losing my mind,
living out here in the countryside
with these cows and this corn—
never forlorn—some say it’s paradise
and I guess that’s maybe true but….

CHORUS: Take me through the skies
above the world we know,
looking at these clockwork clouds from so far below.
Take me past the stars, somewhere far away.
Looking at these clockwork clouds for so many days.

Tell me again, why am I here?
Looking at clouds in the stratosphere.
I don’t feel so alone cause I’ve got this here phone,
the Packers on the tele, a sixpack on ice.

When I’m walking the fields calculating the yields,
the clouds are floating by like cottony shields.
There’s manure and milk, soybeans and corn silk,
Bears fans down in Janesville but I don’t mix with that ilk, so….

CHORUS

Wisconsin’s my home so I’m never alone.
There’s cows and curds and cheese and birds
and whitetails in the woods.
And there’s wolves and black bears,
our meatpackers shares,
the green of spring and gold of fall really tell it all.

We harvest ginseng roots, trim Christmas tree shoots,
grow fine leaf tobacco for your big cheroots.
Red tail on the wing, it just makes you sing.
Turkey vultures circling like angels in the sky.

And there’s cows and there’s corn, whitefish livers and porn,
Northwoods hair salons where no one lives but the trees.
And there’s trout streams and hills, Lake Superior’s thrills—
ice fishing in winter, sitting on a bucket in the wind.

Rockin In The Free World - COVER

A guy who really loves his car. Really, really loves his car!
Lyrics:
Those Yokohama's they burn 
And then they spark
At midnight
A parking lot
Abandoned office park
Ohh, those kids are crazy
It's a little shady
Those fumes make me hazy
I like to show off my Baby

(Oh yeah) My baby she is a Frankenstein
Made up of modified parts
She is a modified Honda Civic
With 19 inch alloy rims
Air intake valve
Top class suspension
I like to do things different
That's why I painted an evil clown on the hood
That's the way people know I'm misunderstood
If they think your misunderstood they're less likely  to mess with you
I like to show of my baby
I like to show off my girl
(Insert slow motion shots of cars doing donuts)
My sideshow funny car

Going down the highway
We don't pay attention to the white lines
It's my total gestalt
It makes me the prophet of the asphalt
Oh I love my girl
My sideshow funny car
Watch her go...........

Sideshow Funny Car

Got My Finger's In All The Pies,But It's All Love.

Predator

A day that wears a distant glow
something stirs the air and goes
and takes me from the humdrum ground
and leads me to the steps i've found

and while i'm waiting in the wings
i'm missing much of everything
and loosing touch with what i knew
i'm hanging on an old refrain
these ghostly winds that bear the shame
won't let me through

A torchlight to a distant glow
in a time and place that flowed
parading on an empty sound
all around

and to this fate in hope i cling
i'm missing much of everything
and loosing touch with what i knew
i'm hanging on this old terrain
the ghostly windows bear the shame
the morning dew

A distant glow

Chinese Rub OH MY GOODNESS MIX

Cast of Characters:
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–bass, guitar, composition, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –synth
Beats by YonkomoFlaction123 (Looperman) - many thanks!!
This is really a creation of Tez, who put it together from a mix of JJ's and Josh's parts on the high end. He was kind enough to share it with JJ and Josh, and have us be a part of this psychedelic whirlwind. Tez gave Josh and JJ a bass line attached to a house beat. They both came up with parts that were wildly different than what you hear. But that's Tez's one example of Tez's magic. He can bend sounds and parts to his will and create something totally different from the original, new and exciting. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Debut Album Now Out!! "Twilight on Tunnel Road"
Available now on Bandcamp: https://penelopesthrill.bandcamp.com/
(and streaming everywhere....)
For an immersive experience of the new album, visit the new Penelope's Thrill website at:
https://www.penelopesthrill.com/
Penelope's Thrill is a lucky accident. Lured out of musical retirement by son Andrew, Timothy Walsh dusted off his guitars, including his favorite vintage Guilds and Gretsches, and picked up where he left off 25 years ago playing in garage bands in New Jersey and Boston. 
Tim founded Penelope's Thrill as the vehicle for his new songs, often pulling in other musicians from Madison and from around the world for particular tracks. Son Andrew occasionally appears on guitar or adding vocals. Wife Barbara also appears on keyboards and backing vocals.

     ***All tracks are recorded and mixed by Timothy Walsh at Yew Tree Studios (that is, a tiny upstairs room in my house nestled amid century-old yew trees). Recent songs are recorded with Logic Pro using hardware tube preamps, compressors, etc. Earlier tracks were recorded direct to a Zoom R8 recorder.
