Just Like Fire Would (by the Saints)

Sugar Kane (by Sonic Youth)

This is an original song which I wrote years ago. Originally it had more of a blues rock feel but I have tried to pep it up a bit to make it a bit more rock n roll.

Solution (White Collar Blues) (original)

This version of Louie Louie was done by Iggy Pop in 1993. The song was originally written by Richard Berry in the 50s.

This is an original blues tune called Epiphany Blues played on electric guitar this time. I like the sound of this guitar so I thought I'd share one of it's recordings. Hope you enjoy!

Epiphany Blues (electrified original)

Another blues in E! This song is from a recent recording of a rehearsal. I thought it sounded good so I thought I would upload it. I knew it as a George Thorogood song in the 80s but it was actually written by country singer Hank Snow in the 50s.

Hank Snow was played by Aussie actor David Wenham in the Elvis movie. The movie shows Elvis and Snow touring together early in Elvis's career.

There's also a cover of I'm Movin On on Van Morrison's latest album which is called Moving on Skiffle.

Vampire Blues (by Neil Young)

A Stones classic played with my nylon string.

Tumbling Dice (by the Rolling Stones)

Dear Prudence (by the Beatles)

This is a new instrumental original. I think it has a folky classical feel to it.

Autumn Vineyard (original)

An old folk song written by Blind Alfred Reed. There have been some famous cover versions by artists like Ry Cooder and Bruce Springsteen. I think my acoustic version is closest to Ry Cooder's though obviously not in the same stratosphere when it comes to ability.

How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live? (by Ry Cooder, written by Blind Alfred Reed)

You Can't Take It With You (by Paul Kelly)

The Irish Rover is a traditional Irish folk song. The first rendition I heard was from the 80s by the Pogues and the Dubliners, in the folk punk style of the Pogues. I think my rendition is a bit more folk and a bit less punk than the Pogues. The Pogues also have a famous Christmas song though it's not this one.

The Irish Rover (traditional)

My rendition is quite different to ZZ Top's original. My rendition is based on a live cover version from a blues band I used to watch back in the 80s. It's more upbeat and it also includes a verse from Talk to Your Daughter by JB Lenoir/John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers.

I hope you enjoy it and I hope it adds some pep to the New Year.

She Loves My Automobile / Talk to Your Daughter (by ZZ Top)

This is a Steve Miller Band classic written by Paul Pena. My arrangement is based on a 1977 live Steve Miller Band recording which I first heard here on SoundCloud.

Jet Airliner (by the Steve Miller Band)

This is the third tune I have done by Aussie punk / post punk / cowpunk pioneers the Saints. I didn't plan it that way but I thought the recordings sounded OK so I shared. The Saints are one of my favourite bands since back in the 80s so I guess it's not surprising. Hope you enjoy!

Ghost Ships (by the Saints)

I have been a fan of U2 for a long time and I had Rattle and Hum on cassette back in the 80s. However, for some reason I didn't know that Bob Dylan co-wrote this song and only found out recently. I sang the words on memory and ad libbed a bit so they may not be 100% accurate. Hope you enjoy!

Love Rescue Me (by U2 and Bob Dylan)

I decided to re-release this standard as I wanted to see if I could pep it up a bit. My version is based on the Blues Brothers version.

Sweet Home Chicago - reprise (by the Blues Brothers, written by Robert Johnson)

This is a fun tune by the Smiths from their 1986 classic album The Queen Is Dead. I thought the nylon string worked well on this one because the Smiths always had a lovely crisp clean sound. Hope you enjoy Morrissey's funny lyrics!

Cemetry Gates (by the Smiths)

Proto-punk classic from the 70s by the Flamin' Groovies.

Heading For The Texas Border (by the Flamin' Groovies)

Fur Elise (by Ludwig van Beethoven)

Hazardous Blues (original)

Paragon Cafe (by You Am I)

An original instrumental twelve bar blues. Solo guitar blues rock.

Inspired by the great soundtrack in the Dukes of Hazzard film. Particularly Lynyrd Skynyrd's rendition of Call Me the Breeze.

This rendition of Hazardous Blues is inspired by Hendrix's great instrumental, Peace in Mississippi.

Hazardous Blues (electrified original)

Where's Cormorant Beach? (original)

An old song I wrote back in the 90s with a rock n roll band I was in at the time. It has a kinda cowpunk vibe which was popular in Australia at the time. It's a kind of tried and true western story told in many western films lol. 

Originally, played with the band, it was a rock n roll tune bordering on hard rock. Played acoustically, I think it comes out a little bit country. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Mexico (original)

Written by Robyn St Clare and made famous by Evan Dando and The Lemonheads.

Into Your Arms (by the Lemonheads, written by Robyn St Clare)

A classic Aussie punk tune from 1976 by the Saints.

(I'm) Stranded (by the Saints)

Another original instrumental with a bluegrass feel.

Walking in the Australian Alps (original)

Another Evan Dando and the Lemonheads tune, written by Tom Morgan.

The Outdoor Type (by the Lemonheads, written by Tom Morgan)

Solo acoustic rock n roll! 

I am a solo guitarist mainly playing acoustically. I am a rock n roller with folk, country, blues, jazz and classical influences.

I have written two songs, Mexico and Solution, and have also written a number of instrumentals. As I don't have many songs of my own, I like to learn to play standards so I have developed a bit of a repertoire.

All originals are copyright. 

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!
