Reason, a Strat, a Vibrolux, and a Tubescreamer - what more do you need?

A groovy little bluegrass-inspired solo acoustic guitar number.

The last song from my new record, "
Beauty, Grazing at the Trough". Since I completed it last December, I've been posting a
song per week, and this is the last one. It's also the last song on the record. After
some aggressive,
loud,
dense songs (some of which are
not particularly chipper), I wanted to end things more simply. So this song is acoustic-guitar driven and uses only hand-percussion (including some triangle that I reversed in one spot, to cool effect, if I do say so myself). I also borrowed a friend's Gretsch for the electric guitar parts. Final word goes to a harmonica solo over some pretty arpeggios.

Loud, bombastic rock. Lots and lots of chords. I was aiming for "Down By The River", or "Polyethylene".

The weirdest song on my
new record. Unrelated
harmonies, weird backwards
noise, weird melody, weird guitar solos. Tried to make the production fit, though.

A mopey country ballad that someone once told me sounds like Townes Van Zandt. More info

A little bit of "Sympathy for the Devil", guitars inspired by Jonny Greenwood and The Edge, a China cymbal, Reason, some backwards editing, some speeded-up and smashed together vox, some slowed down vox - let's just see where all this gets me.

I've been posting a song a week from my new record, "Beauty, Grazing at the Trough", and here's the latest installment! Loud, raucous rock and roll, lifted from Wilco lifting a groovy 70s vibe. "I see you in my dreams at night/sometimes in color, sometimes black and white."

A goofy romp in the spirit of Elvis Costello, with a sort of "All My Loving" kind of vibe to it. The bridge reminds me of the Beach Boys...

A groovy acoustic guitar riff, some drum programming, and vintage Fender gear, all in the service of yet another "good riddance" song - this one an homage to the frustrations of cell phone communication.

An unapologetically moody ballad, aspiring to describe the intersection between Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Radiohead, and the Band. Any excuse to use a pedal-steel guitar and brass, really.

Going for sort of a "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", "My Old School" kind of vibe with the horns - plus some extremely difficult chord changes to solo over (not gratuitously, I hope).

I recently completed an album, and as a devoted (obsessed?) Mefite, I thought it only appropriate to share. The album is lyric-driven rock, this particular tune has a bit of a country flavor. More info
here and
here, you can preview and/or purchase the album from the fine folks at
cd baby.
