An old-time chestnut on guitar, mandolin, and my new Menzies tackhead banjo [more inside]
a perfect preservative (big ghost version)
Big Ghost's version of this, which gets nice and jam-bandy, we feel. Thanks in advance for continuing mixing/mastering advice. [more inside]
Not So Kind
A very short little song wherein I take the harshly honest route toward an old friend. [more inside]

The Bottom Falls Out of the Clouds (demoriffic version)
cortex was kind enough to let me borrow the lyrics from his song "The Bottom Falls Out of the Clouds" (which he wrote for the first ever MeFi Music Challenge), and allow me to set them to new folky/acoustic/lo-fi music for this month's challenge. [more inside]
The Plan
I love this song! Upbeat, dancy, kind of weird. [more inside]
A Long Way Down
Another new demo song from my new band, Bring A Guillotine. A little more laid back than the previous track uploaded. Enjoy!

Saint V. Massacree
Guitar Rag, with banjo. [more inside]
Here
This song has a feel I haven't easily been able to reproduce since recording it. I can barely play the song live. Despite some horrific essing, probably my favorite home recording.
Seven Shades of Blue
Another song recorded live at the cabin for the album. [more inside]
Sift
Kind of a break from recording and re-recording songs to be played live this year, this is kind of a folksy, reverb and acoustic-heavy, simple and short composition. Harmonizing my vocals is such a bummer lately, since it reveals how limited one's range is... [more inside]
cc'ed
Another acoustic, instrumental tune. This is the first track I've made in GarageBand (my Ubuntu machine died hard last week).

Classical banjo and fingerstyle guitar arrangement of the Stephen Foster tune. [more inside]

Hard Times Come Again No More
Just installed new strings and set up my new 3-mic stand; I figured I'd test drive 'em both. [more inside]
Louis Collins
Quick 'n' dirty cover of Mississippi John Hurt's old song played on my resonator guitar. Levels are a bit off, volume jumps up and down a little... but here it is anyway. [more inside]
The Punisher
A little acoustic guitar ditty that sounds like something that would be perfectly suited for a front porch. [more inside]

Cover of a Leadbelly tune. [more inside]
Sudenpolkka
If someone would just make a damn album that sounds like this already then I wouldn't have to be swiping vocals and doing it myself.
