One of my all-time favorite George Harrison songs. I recorded this one in my living room (under my cat's supervision). Lovely tune, enjoy!

Blow Away

I wrote this one a few years ago on May 1st and literally recorded it on the spot. Also in my living room. Very inspired.

May Day (5.1.15)

A very fine performance from my session at Sound Ranch Recording in Seattle. I was trying to get myself through some rough times when I wrote this one. I dedicate it to everyone.

All In This Together

Super catchy song I wrote a ways back. This performance is also from the Sound Ranch session. I like this one a lot.

Free To Go

I was very inspired by Brian Wilson on this song. This version was recorded at Sound Ranch, Seattle.

I Never

This rousing live rendition was recorded for what wound up a "lost" episode of 'The Radio8Ball Show' in August 2016, featuring The Hard Way as the musical guests providing divination for 'The Pop Oracle' hosted by Andras Jones. It was taped before a live audience, but ultimately never aired. The band recorded quite a spirited set that 90 degree day! The proof is right here. If you love the original studio version, this will be a treat!

The Hard Way:
Scott Taylor - Lead Vocal, Piano
Skyler Blake - Guitar, Vocal
Luke Ogden - Bass, Vocal
Dave Hyatt - Drums, Vocal

Recorded live by John Manini @ Obsidian in Olympia, WA, 8.19.16

All In This Together (feat. The Hard Way, Live @ The Radio8Ball Show, 8.19.16)

Brand new song, written fall 2020! This is a quick and dirty meltdown, folks. If you're angry about the world right now, give this a listen. I feel ya...

Total Fucking Bullshit

Fresh off the board, here's a lil' treat for y'all! This here's The Lady Drinks Whiskey performing a rousing rendition of the yuletide classic 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)'!! 

For this recording The Lady Drinks Whiskey features: Pam Wiley passionately belting out the lead vocal, Mike Burdorff on acoustic guitar/harmonica and I played piano and a bunch of other junk. Oh yeah, and we all sang harmonies!

Through the years, this epic song written by the legendary team of Barry/Greenwich/Spector has earned a solid reputation as a beloved holiday standard. This thoroughly killer tune is immortalized by the knockout vocal performance delivered via the incomparable Darlene Love and is not merely among my all-time favorite Christmas songs. Incidentally, 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)' is one of my personal top favorite rock n' roll records. EVER. Yep.

Rock, before it lost the roll. This song is SO good and it never loses it.

This was a fun little trip to have a go at and we hope you enjoy. Happy Holidays everyone, from all of us to all of you! Cheers!!

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) [feat. The Lady Drinks Whiskey]

I recently produced this wonderful cover version of Joni Mitchell's beautiful Christmas classic, 'River'.  A solid performance laced with grace and grit is expertly delivered here courtesy of my very talented friend, singer/songwriter Lisa Ramsauer. This is a really lovely version of this song. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
