Here's a new one with elements of Zep, the Fabs, and CSN. A short rock tune. Again, the artwork was generated by an AI after being fed the lyrical ideas.
Great rock ballad Joe. Did you ever get on Bandlab? I'd love to add some rockin' Hammond organ to this.

Thanks, Bob! I'm not on Bandlab, but I can send you a track with the count-in and put together a chart with the chord changes. Would love to hear your adds. I can play about two measures at a time of keyboards, but consider it a major headache! This tune would probably benefit from it! Please PM me your contact info and I'll forward it to you.
Haven't posted anything for a while so here is my latest upload. It's an intended essay in bluesy rock.

I really like this one Clivey. Definitely a Robbie Robertson vibe.

Clivey, the recording is very good and the wah guitar has a little bit of Ozric Tentacles vibe. Me likey!
Joe - how does this sound now? Thanks for letting me add my little bit to your fine rocker.

^^ Hey, Bob! Love the organ adds! Seems you completed it before I even sent you the charts. Thanks for taking the time!
So far the consensus on Bandlab for your song is that you "KICK ASS". I concur.

Yeah, the Rhodes just fits into prog like a Hammond organ and a Mini Moog and a Mellotron.
Thanks for checking it out guys. Hard to find prog head who think like us over at Bandlab, though they just added a "Progressive Rock" category. I don't have to put these kinds of things under "Rock" or "Jazz" anymore and compete against songs that are quite different in style.
I had a ton of fun bending the hell out of notes on that second one.![]()

Here's a dedication to Bill Bruford, but without drums. Without drums! How can that be? Sacre-Blu!
It's one of his prettier melodies. Enjoy.

Just finished this one last week while recovering from surgery.
I'm polishing up the video which should be finished and posted before the end of this week.
Thanks for listening.

Very nice, Richard! I love the chord progression and the sounds you get; it builds gradually as you go along with an insistent beat that highlights the story you're telling. Your vocals have sort of a Nad Sylvan vibe to them.
Best wishes on a speedy recovery!
Thanks so much for listening Renate, glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Joe, thanks for listening buddy. Appreciate your comments about things in the song, andto give off a little Nad vocal vibe. I'll take that any day.
As our fav band of all time once sang "getting better all the time".

Hi Richard.
Listened twice and enjoyed. Particularly liked the segue at the beginning and overall psyche vibe, and the various sounds and textures coming and going. I am looking forward to seeing the video when it's done.Please repost when it's up.
Hope you are making a good recovery man.

Thanks Clivey, always appreciate you taking time to listen and comment.
Appreciate the kind words and references to sections you enjoyed.
Ttaking time to heal, and I'm a side sleeper, but forced to stay on my back while the stitches and stuff are healing...lack of sleep is probably the worst thing at the moment.
I've fallen behind on some music listening, so I'll check out your new ones when I get a chance.
I'll let you know when the video is up, probably be this Friday, here on the Artist's forum.
Thanks again..Richard "Top Cat"
