It's time to revisit and get back into shape with my writing skills. With being a performance musician in the cover circuit for my sole income source. It's quite hard for me to justify spending time on writing original music which I know has no earning potential. But lately I feel the need to document the heaps of songs that are finished and complete the half finished ones and share them on video. Even if it's only for my own benefit so I don't forget them.
I keep going back to early recordings of Neil Young, James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Cat Stevens. I love the honest recordings done live with just 1 or 2 mics and the way the sounds blend together. I'm working on having a recording space at my home for videos and recordings.
In 2010 I released my first album of original songs. The Humbletones was the name given to the musical duo and it was recorded in my home studio at the time.
I wrote the songs and played guitar, bass and sang vocals and the drums were played by my friend Nick Tomlinson.
At the time of writing I was listening to the likes of Neil Finn, Dave Matthews, Jakob Dylan and Damien Rice.
All the songs originated on the acoustic guitar which remains true to the finished albums sound.
Lyrically the songs reflect on universal themes of personal triumph, love, hardship, environmental and political issues, and social observations.
