A while back I sat down and listed all the songs I have written. When the list got around 100 I decided that I really wanted to record them and let others hear them. I got myself a good cheap mixer and started recording. Then I decided to set a goal and actually put out the first batch of them as an album. We are getting closer and closer to my goal date when I must cease all mixing and tweaks on Feb. 21 and release the songs regardless of how much I want to change them. I can change them no more after the 20th. Here is the track listing and order that I have decided on:

Well, I think it is time for those of you who stop by to get a little something early. I can’t promise that I won’t change the mix before Friday, when I will officially release and tell people about it, but you guys get to hear the first song (and a couple of b-sides) earlier than the rest of the world.

It is no secret that I am a fan of the band Big Wreck, so here is a cover of one of their classic tunes. Enjoy:

Well its time for another cover song to get posted up here. As a little background for this one, it is a Buddy Holly song that I have had this version of worked up for a while. I grew up near the same area of Texas that Buddy is from and have always been a fan.

I am a fan of the collected works of one Ian Thornley and have mentioned such several times. I was excited for a few minutes when I found out about this contest:

I was in a band with some friends back in the day. We were called AppleWhite. This is one of the songs we came up with.

Written in 1997.
Recorded in 2004 in a mattress filled garage.
This is the first fully lyric-ed and finished, non-instrumental song I ever wrote. I wrote it on my second guitar, which is named “Penny”.

Written in 1996.
Recorded in 2010 in a basement.
This is the first song I ever wrote. I wrote it on my first guitar of course, which was named “Bloody Fingers”. The guitar was purchased from a friend for $10 and was a classical acoustic with bronze wound strings on it (hence the name). I had just looked up some chords and made this song change fingers around those basic chords. I have always been pleased with how it sounded, which I cannot say for many of the songs that came soon after it. This song also features my patent pending “elbow shake” acoustic effect maker.

Written and recorded in 2004 in an apartment bedroom.
I wrote this and recorded it within about a 20 minute time frame and it has been one of my favorites ever since. I even like the low quality mic sound on this one. It was recorded with a directly input bass and two acoustic tracks through a cheap PC mic. The name is after Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo Texas.

This here is a song that my grandpa first introduced me to while we were buying supplies to build a fence for my aunt. Everyone and their dog has done their own version of it, so I figured I would throw mine in too. I really see this song as one of the all time greats.
