The Carpet Crawlers

We're always looking for another chance at something. Life isn't always like a video game though.

First time for banjo on one of my tracks! Just seemed like it needed it!

Second Chances

Too many people trying to tell us what to think, what to believe and too few of us thinking for ourselves.

We Don't Care

Demos 2021

You Walked In

Wanted to write a song with horns. Was kind of thinking Memphis Horns and R&B which evolved into this. Some amazing players on this one including Rick Melick on B3 organ who played with Clapton on "Live from the Royal Albert Hall."

You Keep My Love

Dawn

Meet Me In The Middle

Act Like You Don't Know

Bloom

Been listening to a lot of Memphis Blues recently and was totally inspired by what I heard. I don't have the voice for this but someone out there does...

Help Me Believe

Back in the mid 90's, before Autotune and computer editing, Gabe Stivala & I recorded Seal's Future Love Paradise for no other reason than we could. Tracked on ADAT machines at home, I'm still in awe of Gabe's guitar playing and style. He sang, played guitars & bass on this while I played drums and attempted backup vocals with Char Greig. Good times.

Future Love Paradise (Cover)

Going through a ton of music I've made with friends during quarantine and discovered this gem. Gabe Stivala & I covering "Slow Burn" by Kacey Musgraves. Gabe has such a great style on guitar and it's always amazing to work with him. I'm singing and playing drums & keyboards. The song has an almost hypnotic feel...building like the title implies.

Slow Burn (Cover)

Endings turn into beginnings. Sometimes, like when a child goes to college or a relationship ends, it brings feelings of sadness on one or both sides. Either way, you call this moving on.

Fading Polaroids

Not sure where this comes from...almost feels like an early 70's Paul McCartney & Wings thing but I wasn't trying to sound like anything; it just kinda happened.

Under The Sun

Kind of a Pop-Country track. Synth Country? Is that a thing?

How do you get to Austin from LA? A lot of people asking that now. Hamilton Pool outside Austin in the picture.

Somebody Cares

Relationships are complicated. Sometimes though, partners can give 100% when they're together and still be able to have alone time. A little Texas Dance Hall mixed with Level 42. :)
