Name: It's A Cryin' Shame (What You Done To Me) - by Simon Veasey in Monday Playlist 4/29/19
Duration: 4 min 51 s
Description: For a song that took literally 15 minutes to write the lyrics and tune ... its probably the most complex production ive ever done. It started out as a bit of a hybrid with a hip hop beat and a goal to get a sort of Dr Hook type sound, loving the pedal steel, organ and piano parts .... you know say it myself but I quite like it .... even if its clearly country pop :)

A winner here-love these instruments and those vocals Simon !!!

This is beautiful, Simon. A real good one here. Always loved your voice too.

Really like the lyrics, vocal and instruments Simon...great upload!

Very emotionally touching contry-piece. Wonderful warm-rough vocals...

Love the song... and love the guitars :-)

I was so caught up in this I forgot to make a comment until here at the end; love everything about it! Great song Simon!

BIG BAD BLUES - Beth Williams

This is an old favourite of ours that we used to sing out 26-27 years ago ... its still a lovely tune and Sally-Ann sings it just right ... I've not heard many people do this song at all. Took the Weissenborn out of the mix from the original upload because I thought it cluttered it a bit but the original is still up here if you want to compare. Sally-Ann on vocals and guitar, me on second vocals, guitar and bass ... recorded in the front room with two dogs present (sleeping) ... have fun, thanks for dropping by, hope you enjoy it :)

A Gallon at a Time
3-13-2015 John Delk

I was raised up in the whiskey
Like grandpaw and my dad
An the hills of kentucky
Is the only home I've ever had

          An I'd rather go to prison Lord
          Than to the bottom of a mine
          That's why I make my living 
          A gallon at a time

          An it's a gallon for the sheriff
          To keep me out of jail
          An it's a gallon for the doctor
          That keeps my baby well

          An it's a gallon for the groceries
          An the sugar that I need
          An a gallon for the banker
          Owns my 30 acre deed

I get water from the mountain
It makes the purest stuff around
An Grandpaw's old still
Ain't never let me down

       It's a gallon for the farmer
       To keep that corn alive
       An a gallon for the preacher
       Cause the good Lord does provide



A Gallon At A Time

Pauls challenge song on the theme - You mad me laugh. 
Part of Coventry singer songwriters January 2014 song challenge.

One of those end of the road small towns on it's last legs.
What happens to the kids there?

Cooper Hollow

A little bit of narrative on the boy meets girl, girl screws Roadie, girl disappears, boy heads south of the border story!!

Kicking Up Dust

Here's Sally-Ann's first song writing effort ... Its her great grandfathers story about how he moved from Burton on Trent to Nuneaton where he worked as a wheelwright ... problem was there was no work so he started selling Moonshine out of his kitchen to the railway workers, he got busted and ended up having to licence his front room into a pub ... the Railway Tavern ... its still there today, still serving beer 100 years on ... anyway let her know what you think :)

voici un extrait d'un ancien enregistrement que je voulais vous faire découvrir,

bonne écoute

Interlude

Sons En Couleurs - Joy & Sorrow

Struggling with a failing throat and getting to grips with the new Logic upgrades but I had fun recording this .... singing was hard work this is take about 22 ... the others ruined by coughing fits!!!!

Simon Veasey and the Black River - The Road

This is a quick capture of my granddaughter Kira singing the song that she sang at her dad's funeral last week. We rushed it, the timing is all over the place and we will re-do it properly when we get her back in the studio but so many people have asked about it as she was so brave we just wanted to capture it. RIP Nick

Livin' Out Of Time

Mr. Bojangles was the nick name used by Bill Robinson, a black tap dancer who appeared in many movies in the 1930's.  After his success, many black street dancers became known as Bojangles.  The song was originally written by Jerry Jeff Walker in 1968.  I tried a little sit down feet shuffle at the end.

Lyrics by Tony Harris (Tribute to my Uncle)
Vocals, Melody, Instruments & Mix by Glen Granthem

IN DECEMBER OF SIXTY NINE
THE WAR WAS ON HIS MIND
CAUSE HE WAS NUMBER THREE
ON THE DRAFT LOTTERY

HE WAS SOON ON HIS WAY
TO RUN AND MARCH IN THE SAND
WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY
EVERYTHING WAS SO UNPLANNED

HIS UNCLE WORE AN OLD DIME
ON HIS DOG TAGS IN WWII
AND IT WAS NOW HIS TIME
TO WARE IT ON HIS CHAIN TO

IF THAT OLD DIME COULD TALK
WHAT A STORY IT COULD TELL
IT TRAVELED ON TRAINS,
SHIPS, PLANES AND BACK HOME

(CHORUS) 
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
MEANT THE WORLD TO HIS UNCLE
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
NOW MEANS THE WORLD TO HIM
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN AND GOD
BROUGHT THEM BACK HOME AGAIN
YEA, IT BROUGHT THEM BACK HOME

WHEN THEY WERE ALL ALONE
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
REMINDED THEM OF HOME
AND HEARTACHE AND PAIN

HIS UNCLE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT WAR
WITHOUT BREAKING DOWN AND CRYING
THE HURT WAS IN HIS INNER CORE
DYING WAS ALWAYS ON HIS MIND

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Riff Beach - Lyrics, Vocals
Somewhere out there
A bright new Sun is risin’
So, let’s just set our sights
Beyond The Blue Horizon
Sometimes, there’s no need to wait
Or consider compromisin’
Why even hesitate? Let’s just set sail………
Beyond The Blue Horizon?
(Chorus)
Dare to Risk Reward
Leaving won’t be that hard
When you realize what lies ahead
(Beyond The Blue Horizon)
(Bridge)
Beyond The Blue Horizon….
Come follow me, My Friend
Beyond The Blue Horizon
All that’s old will be made new again
Some may choose to stay 
But, we can leave today
We’re on our way to a place

Riff Beach - Letras, Vocais
Algum lugar por ai
Um sol novo e brilhante está se levantando
Então, vamos apenas definir nossas vistas
Além do horizonte azul
Às vezes, não há necessidade de esperar
Ou considere comprometimento
Por que hesitar? Vamos apenas partir…
Além do horizonte azul?
(Refrão)
Atreva-se a recompensar os riscos
Deixar não será tão difícil
Quando você percebe o que está por vir
(Além do horizonte azul)
(Ponte)
Além do horizonte azul ....
Venha me seguir, meu amigo
Além do horizonte azul
Tudo o que é antigo será renovado de novo
Alguns podem optar por ficar
Mas podemos sair hoje
Estamos a caminho de um lugar
Além do horizonte azul
