—Give In To Me

Here’s another one I found sitting on the ol’ hard drive. Recorded it as a request of sorts. It’s originally a duet I’d never heard from a movie I’ve never seen called Country Strong.

I’m posting it here in case I haven’t completely and erroneously pigeonholed Bookshelf as an acoustic modern country act. (Can’t wait to share some rock with you foxy people.)

—Maybe Just One More Night

At worst, this song is cliché, simplistic and shoddily performed/recorded. But it was fun to answer a quick, self-imposed challenge to write a standard country song. Totally forgot about this one. (written/recorded 7/2/11)

If you like, lemme know and I’ll post more of these as I come across ‘em…

Two things:
1. Pardon the text message I got a few seconds in.

2. If you can name the musical reference within the song, I’ll buy you a beer next time I see you.

—My Crooked Heart (demo)

A one-guitar, rough acoustic demo of a new song, 3.5 years in the making.

—No

Well, lookee here…a new song. This is the first new one I’ve written in many moons.

It’s worth noting that this is a rough, bare-bones demo I threw together to figure out things like arrangement, harmonies, etc. The actual finished song will be fuller, more rockin, tighter and probably not acoustic. Demos like this help me decide that stuff.
