This week’s song is a great one by Steve Earle — inspired at least partially by [wiki]The Killer Angels[/wiki] by [wiki]Michael Shaara[/wiki]. It’s a great song sung by Irish immigrant [wiki]Buster Kilrain[/wiki] during the Civil War.

This week’s podcast is “Remedy” — the song that brought the-awesomeness-that-is-Seether into my life. The song rocks, and I sing it with Town Crier.

This week’s song is “Country Roads,” originally performed by John Denver (of course). I did a demonstration about music recording to some students at my old school in Sept. 09, and I thought it would be a good choice for a podcast.
As usual, this recording is a simple live version done on a Sony ICD-SX700 Voice Recorder.

As many of you know, I’ve recently started to build a bigger fan base (well, a noticeable fan base) through Facebook. In that effort, I’ve decided to start uploading my podcasts to YouTube to make them easier to share. So, I’ve decided to “rerun” the previous podcasts and rename (quite strikingly) the series as “Weekly Acoustic Podcast.” (I know, catch your breath!)
Anyway, the process of rerunning should take 2-3 months, and after that I’ll begin uploading new material.
This week’s song is “I’ll Be,” originally performed by Edwin McCain in the 90s. It is one that I sing with my band Town Crier.
My podcasts are recorded as just me on my acoustic guitar in my studio on my Sony ICD-SX700 voice recorder. Enjoy!

My site has been down for about a week, so this is posting late, but here is this week’s podcast.
I chose to play “Alone” off my album “Triad,” and my friend Phil Taylor talked me into covering one of his songs. I chose “Love Song” from his album “Tales of Love or the Lack Thereof” (recorded both by Phil and his former band Unborn).
I had a few moments of hitting the mic / other background noise on this. I’m not sure why, but just in case you hear it and wonder. 😉

As usual, it’s me on my acoustic — no editing, recorded on a Sony ICD-SX700 voice recorder.
So I finally have returned to my promise of two podcasts a week. 🙂 Not sure how long I’ll be able to keep it up, but it is how it is.
The songs this week are “All Along The Watchtower,” written by Bob Dylan, perfected by Jimi Hendrix (Yet another song I happen to be singing for Town Crier), and “Pieces” off of my Two Sides Of The Same Soul album.

The usual — no editing, me on my acoustic, recorded on my Sony ICD-SX700 voice recorder.
Again, this time of year with the holidays, I really only had time to record one song this week, even though I keep saying I plan to do two!
I actually recorded this podcast as well as next week’s two days ago.
At any rate, the song for this week is “Careless Whisper” by George Michael/Seether. My version is much closer to that of Seether, and, frankly, I don’t really do it justice, but I’m singing it in Town Crier, so I thought I’d offer the preview.

As usual: me on my acoustic, in my studio, no editing, recorded on Sony ICD-SX700, blah, blah, blah …
Even though I decided to do two songs per week moving forward, this week I’m only doing one as my schedule is a little hectic.
The song I did is one of my favorites that I wrote called “Walls of a Dream,” and it’s off my album “Heaven.”
And, as usual, this is just me on my acoustic, in my studio, recorded on my Sony ICD-SX700 digital voice recorder, no modifications other than trimming at the beginning and end.

Oh, be cautioned: There are large fluctuations in volume 😀
I’ve recently decided to up the ante on my podcasts by recording two songs: an original of mine and a cover.
This week for the cover I chose Live’s “Lightning Crashes” because we are playing it as the last song in set 4 in Town Crier. I can’t say I do the song justice, but I think it is OK.
The other song will excite my avid followers — a sneak peak at my upcoming album “The Threshold of Omniscience.” That’s right — I have enjoyed my recording so much that I felt it was a good choice for the original.

This week at the request of my wife, I played my own song “Irrational” from my Two Sides of the Same Soul album.
