After approx 3 tumblr's of Scotch. 1 mic, 1 guitar, 1 voice. 

Here Today - Live - Richard Cummins

"Once" cover. Love the movie and loved it live on broadway.

Falling Slowly - Richard Cummins

Text taken from the Bible. I wrote this in a small town in B.C. Canada called Salmon Arm.. I holed up at my parents ranch for about 3 months in the mid 90's after traveling the world. I continued my travels for a while, spending quite a few years living out of a backpack. 

By The Rivers Of Babylon

Richard Cummins cover recording of Keith Green's 'Love Broke Through', with a taste of the Phil Keaggy version thrown in.. :)

Love Broke Through - Richard Cummins Cover

New mix in 2024 using AI to pull stems from the old recording!
Paul Clark and Phil Keaggy recorded 'He'll Do The Same' in 1975, and I attempted this cover, which is really just an unfinished demo of it warts and all, years ago in around 2006 I think. I had a small corner 'studio' at my home in Langley BC and just went for it. But I soon realized you cannot simply 'play' Keaggy's guitar parts. You gotta earn them and I never really got there. But the song was fun and the message even better...

He'll Do The Same - Paul Clark, Phil Keaggy Cover

This is Richard's recorded version of a Mark Hildebrand song that when Richard was one day visiting back at Mark's old music studio he helped him write a portion of the tune - can you spot the very "Richard-y" part? ;) The writing is also credited to Mark's wife Becky.

Richard is performing and playing everything you hear on this recording.

Waiting For The Ressurection - Richard Cummins version

'If Love" is track I dreamed playing at a beautiful theater, with my musician friend Jim drumming -  and it was like at Carnegie Hall.. this is my demo so this song may live beyond my years. I think my friend Paul was on Bass... I was on Piano. This is the disastrous live demo which may never capture the draw to a Savior..

If Love - Demo

Carry On Canada is a song for THIS moment in History.

I was just thought we Canadians needed a REAL Patriotic boost - A REAL and POSITIVE we'll-get-through-this because just a minute ago we had a pretty cool Country full of some of the most Excellent People on the Planet - that's not gonna change in 3 months. From Grease Monkeys, to Suits, to 1st Responders:

Turn this UP, SING ALONG and remember to CARRY ON CANADA!!!!!

'Carry On Canada'

Automobile Mechanic
is never in a panic
He’s got the tools that he needs
and he rolls up his sleeves and gets at it
He gets the motor runnin'.. he gets that baby hummin'
And on Friday night he be cruisin' with his Darlin' beside him

Carry on, Carry on Canada
Everything that we say always ends with an “Eh?”
and we like it 
Carry on, Carry on Canada - Coo Loo Coo

Alberta oil, they dig in the soil
Gives us the fire that we need keep this country running free
I say thank you (thank you!)

Bay St Toronto - got all the head honchos
Up at the crack of dawn so the Looney and the Twooney stays strong Carry on ....

Carry on, Carry on Canada
Everything that we say always ends with an “Eh?”
and we like it (and we like it!)
Carry on, Carry on Canada! Coo Loo Coo

We got Hockey Teams, Cut off Jeans and Mac’s that fit just right
We got a Military that never wearies from fighting for our rights

Our First Responders, have a place Up Yonder
But they know that Heaven can wait, cause they gotta job to do in your Province 
(and don’t we all!)

We’re gonna make it better, make our Country last forever
Red White and Red
And as strong as a Maple in the center!

Everybody!

Carry on, Carry on Canada
Everything that we say always ends with an “Eh?”
and we like it (and we like it!)
Carry on, Carry on Canada!*

Coo Loo Coo Coo....

Carry On Canada

A teaser off the new Country Rock Album from Richard Cummins

It's about turning off the news and getting outside and judging life for yourself. If you don't know what's going on in another ciry, well - welcome to the simpler life of 100 years ago. People had their own problems, not the weight of the entire world on their shoulders.

It was wake up, hard work, then sip the moonshine.

It can be again. But you have to want it.

Country Is

I recorded this for Sony Music in Nashville TN. Fun fact: I'm actually performing ALL Beatles vocals....
