This was the first of 3 wedding songs I wrote in anticipation of the big day Saturday. The last one always wins, but I still love this song and I like the airy quality of this recording. This is just one guitar track, one piano track (first take), and two vocals (one lead, one backup).

Easy - unreleased track from 2002

This was recorded in '02 in Angel's apartment in Hollywood back when I was single and lived in the same building with my two buddies. Good times.

I covered this on the sweet baby grand they used to have in the MCA studios right next to Anawalt lumber. That was a quite a few years ago now.

I did the Willie Nelson version of this awesome song, which I found out is owned by the state of Georgia.

Summer Drug

I was at Room 5 the other night, sitting in with Mr. Joel so I got to catch up with a few people.

Chris Pierce was there, Mike Freas, Chet Dixon, Lovejoy, and on and on. Anyway, Babyhead (who plays his bass with Paper Sun as well) says to me: "Summer Drug" turned out awesome.

So it did.

This was a great rendition of Southern Girl (from the album Arms Around the River) at Molly Malones in Los Angeles.

This was the first and all-time jammiest of renditions for this song. I had just written it as you can hear from the opening little bit of dialog. Also featuring the mad Jeramy Gritter as is another song on this RockStarAlley podcast (*Photograph*).

circa 2005.
