about

Over the past couple of decades, I've recorded a few covers, posted them on occasion, included them as bonus incentives for other projects, but have never really put a lot of them in one place. The tracks included here are some of my favorites, interpreted through the warped prism of my brain and the vagaries of my vocal crags. I hope you enjoy them, and seek out the original artists' renditions where you can. Some are harder to find than others, and one (Big Texas Hair) doesn't exist outside of my version, which is a shame. Details on the tunes can be found on each track's description.

Thanks to all those who have been with me thus far on this journey, and to those new to the trip, welcome.
