Listen to our songs

This song came from a discussion about our town, Musselburgh, being known as " the Honest Town."The ballad describes a fugitive, a gun battle, and a love affair. 

We go at it at a blistering pace, so it's up-tempo, and loud with a cracking snare drum and some excellent guitar work.

I had an idea for a big ballad Roy Orbison song about life’s journey and the love that has come and passed. The melody came first. I meet with Bob every Monday morning where we share ideas and discuss what we have been working on. We talked about the people we have loved who are no longer with us and Bob talked about his mother and said, “Every time my mother passed a mirror, she stopped, and the mirror smiled at her”, just one of the lovely lyrics in the song. Bob did most of the lyrics which are just beautiful and I did the melody and arrangement. We rehearsed it with the band and recorded it in my friend’s studio in two sessions.

Returning cowboys celebrate by dancing the Cow Cow Boogie.

In this song, we think we have all excelled. The lyrics paint a beautiful picture of a passionate and dangerous love affair in Barcelona (all matadors and tango dancers). Underpinned by a beautiful melody with Spanish guitars, castanets and the pièce de résistance, Caitlin's perfect voice.

The song originated from a romantic encounter in Barcelona. The idea was to write about both the desire and the danger. From the blood red of the lips to the red cape of the bullfighting toreador and matador. break in the song reflects on the beauty and sense of loss.

Musically, we wanted to create a basic live acoustic sound using acoustic drums, upright bass, and Spanish nylon-strung guitars with castanets and shakers. While the time signature is 4/4, my drummer informs me that rhythm is not a tango, but a Bossa nova. The band performed the song live in the studio, overdubbing the vocals and guitar later.
