Great musicality at work. Fine work as always,Tom.

I am enjoying this song so much Tom. One of my favourite listens this year 

nice vibe, very uplifting, the orchestration reminds me of BB King ;)

I'm enjoying it again Tom. Top work from a mobile studio 🕶

Epo Man

After receiving some excellent feedback regarding the original version of this song, I  have made some significant changes. No more midi piano arps! :) I paid a session pianist (the excellent Barry Russo)

to play and I have hopefully cleaned up the mix a bit. I hope you like it! :)

Too Many Men

Holbrook Nebraska, nineteen thirty-one
Dust-beaten fields in the withering sun
The Speakeasy’s busy when the corn ain’t growin’
And too many men leave too many women all alone

Sweat stained nights and hard bitten days
Rumours of work down Arkansas way
It’s five weeks out, then four days home
Too many men leave too many women all alone

But the floor needs sweeping and the hens need keeping
And there’s wood needs splittin’ in the shed
Now, children stop cyrin ‘cause mama’s busy fryin’
Flour dough to keep your bellies fed

California called him, but the mail must be slow
His letters stopped coming six months ago
I’m minding the nest ‘cause Papa-bird’s flown
Too many men leave too many all alone

I’m minding the nest ‘cause Papa-bird’s flown
Too many men leave too many heartaches at home

Too Many Men - collab with Neal K. featuring Barb on vocals

Grillin' these burgers in the hot summer sun
I'll turn each one over when its bottom is done
Folks say I cook with a fine recipe
And they say the same thing to describe you and me

'Cause the flip side of lonely is a wonderful life
That We spend together as husband and wife
One side is golden - the other is blue
And the flip side of lonely is you

We get out our old records - fire the turn-table up﻿
Oh they sound so much better than that digital stuff
Yeah, these old 45's hold the hits from the past
But the songs that we like are the ones on the back

'Cause the flip side of lonely is a wonderful life
We spend together - husband and wife
One side is gold and the other's the blues
The flip side of lonely is you

Now it's starting to rain - we better head to the house
But our love is the same on the inside and out
And there ain't any doubt
No, there ain't any doubt that

The flip side of lonely is a wonderful life
That we'll spend together - forever in time
The side that you're on is the side that I choose
'Cause the flip side of lonely is you 

The side that you're on is the one that I choose..
'Cause the flip side of lonely Is you!

The Flip Side of Lonely

A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC
(T J Boswell)

First light
You might 
Scarcely believe the way it felt last night
Twas enchanting alright 

Romanced
Entranced
But could it all be just a crazy dream?
Sure was something

Yeah, there’s a little bit of magic
In the night
There’s a little bit of magic 
You can’t fight
And every time you come to me
There will be
Just a little bit of magic

This time 
They’ll find
Your hardened heart ain’t taken in so quick
It’s all a simple trick

Sweet words
Soft light
S’all misdirection 
You done broke the spell 
Your eyes are open

But there’s a little bit of magic
In the night
There’s a little bit of magic 
You can’t fight
And every time you come to me
There will be
Just a little bit of magic

A Little Bit Of Magic

Strike the Chords feat F Ace it Winston

Person or Persons Unknown

Where’d we consent to be
Ruled by these pricks
They’re down on our ass like a shit ton of bricks
With the slightest excuse
At the drop of a hat
Building back better
And bollocks like that
 
Don't even know 
You’re under control
Don’t rock the boat and just
Do what you’re told 
We’ll never be shown
Who's on the throne
The world's being murdered by 
Person or Persons Unknown

We’re all in their sights
They’re itching to shoot
They only regard us as low hanging fruit
Flapping about like 
Puppets on strings
These are a few of my least favourite things

You think it’s OK
But you might just find
The shit hits the fan if you
Step out of line
Selling our souls
For the lowest of bids
Building a prison
To house all our kids

Don't even know 
You’re under control
Don’t rock the boat and just
Do what you’re told 
We’ll never be shown
Who's on the throne
The world's being murdered by 
Person or Persons Unknown

Person Or Persons Unknown

Walk in Wardrobe

Well their envy’s true guess they never knew
How much heartache someone could be going through
Could they misconstrue and look up to
The kind of man who’d end up doing this to you

Find a new way out of that walk in wardrobe
find a better way than the way that you came in 
You could lose yourself in that walk in wardrobe
or find yourself and quietly shed that skin

You're still put upon though the kids are gone
Can this ridiculous charade be fooling anyone
With the curtains drawn for the denouement
When it all adds up to less than you had counted on

Now you’re on your way to a brighter day
And all your pain and suffering just fades away
You don’t have to stay in this cabaret
Doesn’t even have to matter what the neighbours say


Find a new way out of that walk in wardrobe
find a better way than the way that you came in 
You could lose yourself in that walk in wardrobe
or find yourself and quietly shed that skin

For Mary, the girl next door.
