PLANET SONG (2017)
PLANET SONG (2017)
“To anchor the vibration of love in our earth.” This album is all one song, an improvisation that emerged in one sitting, on 12-string guitar. Using loops and a few extra parts, I left it pretty much as it came out, unrehearsed, in one take.
EARTHMAN (2015)
Songs from every period of my songwriting life. “Earthman” is one of the first songs I wrote that seemed to come out of nowhere, in 1977. 40 years later, it is recorded! Includes "September Grass", my song that appeared on JAMES TAYLOR’s platinum OCTOBER ROAD album.
available on iTunes, Pandora, Spotify, etc.
A WAY THROUGH (2011)
A WAY THROUGH (2011)
