Take It Easy Take It Easy
The one that started it all for The Eagles from 1972. These guys sound as good or better than they did back in the day. I however, do not...LOL!!! The same can't be said for many 1970's rockers especially in their vocals.
Happy Together Happy Together
The Turtles major hit from 1966...the year I graduated from high school. I dated my first serious girl friend as this song got a lot of airplay and we identified with it as you can imagine!
People Are Strange People Are Strange
They sure are...especially today...LOL! My version of The Doors classic.
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
My version of Canadian Robbie Robertson's (The Band) classic about the fall of the old south. It was a huge hit for Joan Baez in 1971.
For What Its Worth For What Its Worth
Dedicated to the 99% of which I am a member in good standing. The timeless anthem from turbulent 1967 written by Stephen Stills while he was with Buffalo Springfield.
Fire On The Mountain Fire On The Mountain
The great hit from The Marshall Tucker Band from the 1970's.
San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers...) San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers...)
Written by John Phillips and recorded and released by Scott McKenzie in 1967, this song became a smash hit and became the "hippie anthem" of the late 1960's.
The Big Country The Big Country
One of my favorite film soundtracks from a classic western from 1958. The symphonic music was written by Jerome Moross for which he received an Oscar nomination. My version is done with just a bunch of guitars. But, I tried to make the sound BIG!
Act Naturally (new vocals) Act Naturally (new vocals)
The old Buck Owens tune later done by The Beatles with Ringo Starr singing the lead. My version has all instruments and vocals by me...no backing tracks. Percussion was programmed using PC Drummer Pro.
Rebel Rouser - NEWLY RECORDED! Rebel Rouser - NEWLY RECORDED!
A tribute to the great Duane Eddy, a guitar hero of the early 1960's. He was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame in 1994.
Take Five Take Five
A cover of the Dave Brubeck Quartet classic from the late 1950's. My version features an acoustic guitar doing the chords, with electric bass and guitar on lead. I played it straight with no improvisation. It's written in an unusual 5/4 tempo.
Metronome in D minor Metronome in D minor
A melancholy chord progression featuring three guitars and bass.
This Boy This Boy
Lovely Beatles classic. I gave the drums a little more exposure on my version here.
